Notch Brewing Opens New Brighton Biergarten Location

SALEM, MA — The Salem-based Notch Brewing is bringing its extensive collection of session craft beers to Boston at a new location on Western Avenue in Brighton.

The new taproom and Biergarten at the Charles River Speedway location opened this weekend on the corner of Western Avenue and Soldiers Field Road. The space will host food trucks and offers beer both to be enjoyed at the beer hall and to go.

"We can't wait to see you soon, and share in our space and see it come to life over the summer," Notch posted on its Facebook page. "We will be having a grand opening in the fall, but we are ready to serve beer now!"

Notch said the new location includes plenty of places to park. However, because of Boston health regulations, the brewery notes dogs are not allowed at the new beer hall as of now.

Puppies are still welcome in the Salem Biergarten, which is open five days a week at 238A Derby Street.
