Best breweries around Springfield, MA (besides Treehouse)

[leedspointbrew]

Inspired by the DudeLebowski and a lot of other general discussion, I'm going to visit Treehouse Deerfield after taking my son to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Since it'll be a weekend with a 3-pour limit, it's likely that my family won't be there long. Any other recommendations in that area?
TIA

Berkshire brewing is "right around the corner" from Treehouse, and there is a decent BBQ place right there too. A little ways north is Brick and Feather who do a great job in Turners Falls. I like Progression in Northampton, Honest weight is a bit of a drive in Orange. There are also some decent places in the Springfield area, Loophole, Bright Ideas, Two Weeks Notice, Leadfoot, Vanished Valley, Fieldcrest, One Way. Arcpoint is great as well, but Belchertown is a bit out of the way.

Good luck
