Cisco Brewers Plans to Open a Beer Hall in Boston's Fenway

A local brewery may be opening a new location in Boston.

According to an article from Universal Hub, Cisco Brewers is looking to open a beer hall in the Fenway, moving into the space on Boylston Street where Tasty Burger had been before moving to nearby Van Ness Street. The post mentions that this would be a year round beer hall, and it would also have a seasonal beer garden with live music during the warmer months. If approved, the new location of Cisco would join others in Nantucket, New Bedford, Boston's Seaport District, and a production facility in Portsmouth, NH, that also included a pub until closing late last year. 

The address for the proposed location of Cisco in the Fenway is 1301 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02215. The website for Cisco can be found at https://www.ciscobrewers.com/

Turtle Swamp Brewing to Close Down Beer Garden in Roslindale Substation

A local brewery is shutting down a beer garden that has been housed in an historic structure for the past two and a half years.

According to a Facebook post from the business, Turtle Swamp Brewing will be closing its beer garden inside the Roslindale Substation at the end of the summer, while mentioning that the closure is due to the impacts of Covid. The post indicates that it will be open on Fridays and Saturdays for the rest of August, while it will be open on Saturdays only through September.

The substation space had previously been home to a Trillium beer garden, and there had also been plans for a restaurant called Third Rail to open there as well, though those plans fell through.

Aeronaut's Beer Garden Is Returning to Allston This Summer

A popular beer garden that was unable to open last summer due to the pandemic is returning for the 2021 season.

According to its web page within the Zone 3 website, Aeronaut Allston is coming back this summer, with the note saying "Yes, things will look a bit different, but we're sure you can expect the same energy and community spirit as we continue our commitment to creating a special, welcoming, and safe place to gather." Last year, the beer garden had been hoping to open for its fifth season at Zone 3 (a Harvard-owned space along Western Avenue that includes retail popups, art installations, and public events), but the coronavirus outbreak led to their decision to remain closed for 2020.

Update: Trillium Reopens in Fort Point, the Fenway, and Canton After Temporarily Closing for the Winter

[Ed note: This article was updated on April 2 to reflect the fact that all locations have reopened.]

One of the biggest breweries in the Boston area is putting its outdoor areas into hibernation.

According to an article from 7News Boston, Trillium is planning to shut down its beer garden on the Greenway after business hours on November 1, while its the final day for the patios in the Fenway and Canton will be November 8; an Instagram post from the brewery explains why they are closing, saying that "COVID is still a very real concern for your safety and that of our team, and winter in New England is coming....For those reasons, we've made the difficult decision to pause on-site food and draft operations until spring." The post mentions that curbside pickup of beer will continue to be offered at Fort Point, in the Fenway, and in Canton during the winter and that most of their staff will remain employed, though team members who support the on-premise services will be furloughed until the spring (all furloughed workers with health insurance through Trillium will keep their benefits and insurance).

The Fort Point location of Trillium is currently not open for on-premise consumption and will remain closed for the time being.

The website for Trillium can be found at https://www.trilliumbrewing.com/

[April 2, 2021 update: According to a list from boston.com, Trillium's locations in Canton and the Fenway opened back up yesterday while the Fort Point location reopens today.]
