Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. to Open Biergarten at Gore Place in Waltham

A local brewery is going to be setting up an outdoor beer-drinking space at an historic site in the western suburbs of Boston.

According to a Facebook post from the business, Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. is getting ready to open a biergarten at Gore Place in Waltham, with the 60,000-square-foot space debuting on Friday, May 8 and running through October. The biergarten will be open Thursday through Sunday and will include an 80 x 30 foot tent while offering beers on tap along with hard seltzers, hard smoothies, non-alcoholic beers, and food truck dining options such as clam chowder, wings, birria poutine, salads, harvest bowls, lobster rolls, smash burgers, tikka masala, saag paneer, and more. (Live music will also be part of the plans.) Mighty Squirrel does note that because Gore Place is a working farm with animals, dogs (other than service dogs) are not allowed.

Gore Place is an historic mansion and museum just off Route 20 that was built in the early 1800s and was a summer home for Massachusetts politician Christopher Gore.
