Boston’s outdoor beer garden season is officially back.
Night Shift Brewing is reopening its seasonal beer gardens this week at three Boston-area locations: the Esplanade in Back Bay, Herter Park in Allston, and Dewey Square on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Downtown Boston.
The outdoor beer gardens are expected to remain open through late fall, with expanded hours later in the season.

To kick off the season, Night Shift is introducting several seasonal and limited-release drinks to start the season, including Rickey Sour, a raspberry-lime sour ale; Mai Day, a Maifest lager; Double Parked, a double IPA; Levity, a new non-alcoholic sparkling water.
The beer gardens will also serve several of the brewery’s regular offerings, including Whirlpool, Santilli, Fluffy, Nite Lite, Hoot hard seltzer, house wines, rotating small-batch beers, sour ales, and non-alcoholic drinks.
Rotating food trucks will visit the Esplanade and Allston locations, and guests may bring outside food. The beer gardens are walk-in only, with no reservations required.
All three beer gardens are dog friendly.
