Charlestown Brewing Co. is hosting a summer-long outdoor pop-up at The Yard Charlestown at Hood Park starting, with its kick off weekend June 13-15.

To top it off, the pop-up will support the Hold a Heart Foundation, with a portion of proceeds going toward heart health advocacy and care. This grand opening weekend will also include giveaways from participating breweries like Wachusett Brewing, Harpoon, and Smuttynose. The pop-up is free to attend, both dog- and family-friendly, and includes up to three hours of free parking inside the Hood Park Garage. Hours of operation throughout the summer are Fridays and Saturdays from 4–10pm and Sundays from 12–8pm.

It commemorates the battle, the Armed services, American Heritage, and Charlestown itself.
