Under the Hops

Zephyr on the Charles and Cape Ann Brewing Company are teaming up for a summer-long collaboration that includes craft beer and wine tastings, creative cocktails and an artisanal pizza menu on the banks of the Charles. Every Thursday from May 28th through August 27th, between 5:30 and 8:00pm, guests can take in river views from the Zephyr patio as they tuck into an a la carte menu of small plates and pizzas. From 6:00-7:00pm, they can head to the second floor terrace to enjoy an educational tasting amidst the freshly planted hops which, come fall, will be transformed into Zephyr on the Charles’ very own IPA. Peruse the tentative schedule of topics below to pick the ones that appeal to you and plan a few evenings Under the Hops. Call 617.441.6510 for all the details.
