The unofficial end of summer is here.  Kids are back in school, cooler temperatures are already being felt in the Berkshires. The Labor Day holiday is when we mentally make the switch from summer to fall, although summer does not officially end for a couple of weeks on September 21st.

Weather is as unpredictable as life so make sure you take whatever time you have for yourself, family and friends this weekend and do you.  The weather should be perfect on Saturday for whatever that is.  Sunday some clouds and maybe a shower on Sunday.   Below is the long-range holiday weekend forecast from the National Weather Service for the Berkshires…

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
