SHEFFIELD, Mass. – Berkshire Mountain Distillers (BMD) has announce our continued collaboration with Berkshire Busk! Roadside to present Live Music Saturdays in our outdoor pavilion through the autumn season.

Musicians will take the stage on Saturdays from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., rain or shine, through Oct. 29th. In inclement weather, performances will take place inside the distillery. Craft cocktails will be available for purchase in BMD’s tasting room as well as complimentary tasting flights and self-guided tours of the production facility for guests 21 years and older.
 
"We’re super excited to continue to work with the Berkshire Busk! team and offer live music at the distillery during one of the most beautiful seasons here in the Berkshires," said Chris Weld, founder-owner of Berkshire Mountain Distillers. "Come on down and walk the grounds and greenhouse, check out our farmstand, sip a cocktail under our covered pavilion and enjoy the fire pit on cooler autumn days."
 
An organization harnessing artistic talent to create a vibrant immersive arts experience, Berkshire Busk! celebrates music and live performance each weekend in summer with ‘buskers’ throughout downtown Great Barrington and now in BMD’s Sheffield location.

 

"Berkshire Busk! is thrilled to keep our partnership going with Berkshire Mountain Distillers!," said Carli Scolforo, general manager of Berkshire Busk! "Having performers in the BMD pavilion every Saturday was an excellent addition to our 2022 festival season, and we're excited to have more opportunities to showcase the many talented local musicians in our network. It's a great way to extend some of that summer excitement into the new season."

Great Barrington Unveils 9/11 Memorial Featuring World Trade Center Steel

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — A piece of history will now stand in front of the Great Barrington Fire Department, serving as a lasting reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and heroism of those who rushed in, stepped forward, and answered the call on Sept. 11, 2001.
 
Hundreds of community members gathered outside the Fire Department for the unveiling of a 9/11 memorial featuring a steel I-beam salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.
 
The monument marks the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, and its effect reached far and wide beyond New York, said Deputy Fire Chief James Mead.
 
"There are moments in our lives that become markers of time. Moments when we remember not only what happened, but where we were, who was beside us, and how the world somehow felt different afterwards," Town Manager Liz Hartsgrove said. 
 
"For those of us who experienced September 11, 2001 — it is one of those moments for us to share."
 
The acquisition of the beam was a multi-year effort initiated by the late Andy Moro, former commander of American Legion Post 298 in Housatonic, and was carried on by the Legion's second vice commander, John Morris. 
 
Morris said he was able to obtain the warped steel I-beam through connections he made during his time as a New York City firefighter.
