• About Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co.

Mighty Squirrel was founded by friends and home-brewers, Naveen & Henry. They loved the fun culture of the craft beer industry and the community-centric environment of its taprooms, so they began home brewing and eventually built their first full production brewery and taproom in 2018 in Waltham, where the company brews all of its beer for stores, bars, and restaurants across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Customers can watch the entire beer-making and packaging process from start to finish from the taproom. Mighty Squirrel sits on a beautiful 300-acre park, Beaver Brook, so folks can enjoy a walk, hike, or bike ride before relaxing at the brewery with friends and family. In 2024, Mighty Squirrel opened a taproom and kitchen in the Fenway Neighborhood of Boston at 1 David Ortiz Drive, steps from Fenway Park, and in 2025 it opened a taproom and kitchen in Watertown at Arsenal Yards at 102 Arsenal Yards Boulevard.
