The talented crew at Alden & Harlow are turning their summery Saturday Garden into their Fall Beer Garden, highlighting a stellar line-up of local beermakers alongside a special menu of food and drink. Make for Harvard Square on an upcoming Saturday any time between 2:00 and 10:00pm to snag an al fresco seat right on Brattle Street – the bustling main drag will be closed to cars between Church and Elliot Streets so you can bask in all the autumnal glory as you explore offerings from New England breweries like Lone Pine out of Gorham, Maine, Aeronaut in Somerville and Exhibit ‘A’ from Framingham, just to name a few. There’ll be wine and cocktails, too as well as a menu of your favorite A&H snacks courtesy of chef-owner Michael Scelfo and his team. Sneak a peek at a sample menu below and start mapping out your fall Saturdays.
