SWAMPSCOTT — Lynn-based Bent Water Brewing Company will host a pop-up beer garden this month to raise money for the maintenance of the historic Fish House.
“Bent Water on the Beach” will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 31 at Fisherman’s Beach. The brewery first held a similar event in 2019 to raise money for the Fish House, but was unable to hold the fundraiser last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Fish House is right there on Fisherman’s Beach; it’s a building that needs to have constant maintenance and upkeep as a historic property,” said Bent Water spokeswoman Robin Leopoldo.
In addition to beer and hard seltzer from Bent Water, the 21-plus event will include live music from the musical acts such as the Kevin Farren Band, The Navigators and Birdface, as well as a cookout provided by the Swampscott Yacht Club.
Swampscott’s Fish House, built in 1896, is a national historic landmark. It is the oldest operating fish house in the United States and the only such building that is municipally owned.
Entrance to the beer garden is $5, which will benefit upkeep of the building. The rain date for the event is Sunday, Aug. 1.
“It’s a time for people in Swampscott and surrounding towns to come and enjoy some drinks and fun at the beach, and it goes toward helping the Fish House out,” Leopoldo said.
