Salem’s Notch Brewing Expands to Brighton, Now Open at the Speedway | Eater Boston

"Opening July 9 at 4 p.m. in Brighton, this North Shore brewery’s Boston debut occupies a 3,766-square-foot former horse stable inside the new development. The airy, spacious taproom typically pours 10 to 14 beers at a time, emphasizing session styles such as pale lager, dark lager, and pale ale, and will offer cans to go. Guests can spread out in a massive year-round, 2,000-square-foot beer garden with picnic tables and room for about 200 people; the layout is designed to accommodate gatherings while allowing ample distancing. Outside food is permitted (and the taproom plans to host food trucks as more vendors open), children are welcome except after 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and dogs are not allowed per city rules except for service animals. The brewery first opened in Salem in 2010 and has operated a taproom there since 2016." - Terrence Doyle
