Slumbrew Opening Beer Garden at Assembly Row

Somerville Brewing Company, aka Slumbrew, is opening a beer garden at Somerville’s Assembly Row, the development announced this weekend.

The beer garden will be named American Fresh Taproom and go in the development’s SOMBLOX area, a new area that will be made up of four renovated shipping containers and house two other local businesses as well. It's expected to fully open Saturday, Aug. 2.

SOMBLOX will be at the corner of Grand View Boulevard and Canal Street, across from Saks OFF 5TH. The shipping containers are meant to be a nod to the area’s industrial past, according to a release from the development.

In addition to Slumbrew beers, the beer garden will have local foods. The food suppliers will rotate on a regular basis, but the opening menu will feature Fiore DiNonno and Great Hill Creamery cheeses, Olli and Creminelli meats, When Pigs Fly breads, Taza chocolate, Grillo’s pickles, soups, sandwiches, caramel corn with bacon and for dessert, Fluffernutter.

In April, Somerville Brewing Company announced plans to open a brewery/taproom at 15 Ward St. in Somerville later this year.

Once complete, the new Assembly Row development will have 400,000 square feet of retail space, 2,100 residential units and 1.75 million square feet of office space, as well as a new MBTA stop.
