BOSTON
- Friday, June 7, 2024 - Mayor Michelle Wu and the Boston Parks and
Recreation Department today announced a partnership
with Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food
Generation to bring Alianza, a
first-of-its-kind traveling beer garden series, to seven of Boston’s parks
throughout the summer with food and beverages for all ages. The first
activation will launch in South Boston at A Street Park on June 19.
“Our
parks and open spaces create opportunities to build community across
generations,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “That’s why I’m so
thrilled for our traveling beer garden to make stops across the city to
activate our parks in new ways this summer by bringing people together in
partnership with Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation.”
“We
can’t wait to activate our parks with this exciting partnership,”
said Parks Commissioner Ryan Woods. “Alianza presented by
Roundhead and Fresh Food Generation is a unique opportunity for residents
to enjoy great local beer, delicious food, and the beauty of their
neighborhood parks.”
In
January, the City issued a Request For Proposals for a seasonal mobile
outdoor hospitality opportunity with alcohol service. Founded in 2017 and
located in Hyde Park, Roundhead Brewing Company LLC is Massachusetts’s
first Latino-owned brewery. Fresh Food Generation is a woman-owned,
Black-owned, small business located in Dorchester. They will offer a menu
of Latin-influenced brews, paired with Caribbean and Modern American
food.
Alianza (Alliance),
the name for this beer garden series, speaks to the local business
partnership, and invites attendees to travel and build community across
neighborhoods. At each location, Alianza will operate from
Wednesday to Sunday during the hours of 2:00 - 9:00 p.m for two consecutive
weeks before traveling to the next City of Boston park.
“Roundhead
is excited to bring people together across Boston’s neighborhoods,”
said Luis Espinoza, co-owner of Roundhead Brewing Company. “I
am very proud to combine our cultures, and be a part of something that can
only happen here in Boston.”
“Every
two weeks, not only will the location change, but we will be featuring a
new menu item in honor of each neighborhood,” said Cassandria
Campbell, CEO of Fresh Food Generation, a Boston native. “We’re excited
to take our restaurant services on the road and create experiences in
neighborhood parks as another place for people to connect.”
