I just read a thing on US-based beer site beeradvocate.com the headline
of which was "The Black Sheep Brewing Company to brew at 34 Depot
Street - Pittsfield, MA" which made me think, oh right, Black Sheep are
getting a US brewery to contract brew their beers for them. Apparently
not, it's just a brewpub intending to set up using the name. I replied
to the site as Black Sheep beers are sold in the US.

I hope it's just a genuine mistake, and that they simply change the
name. The brewer/owners are from Victory Brewing (Downington,
Pennsylvania, of HopDevil fame) so they should brew some excellent
beers, it just should be under another name IMO.

According to some fellow Pennsylvania BeerAdvocate.com members, Victory
Brewing is losing: Bill Heton, Assistant Head Brewer, and Kristine
Bump, Brewer. Sad news for Victory, but good news for Western
Massachusetts as the two are opening a new establishment located at the
home of the former The Fighting Parson Brewpub at 34 Depot Street in
Pittsfield, MA.

Word is that they'll be brewing on a 5-bbl Pugsley system, and hope to
be brewing by next month, and opening their doors by May or June 2005.
The name of the place: "The Black Sheep Brewing Company."
