Collective Arts Brewing and Nickel Brook Brewing are opening a beer garden at their shared brewery in Hamilton.

The 3,000 square foot outdoor space launches Friday at 5 p.m. and will remain open Thursdays to Sundays through the summer. The breweries are at 207 Burlington St. E.

The patio will feature six beers from each brewery on tap, with communal picnic tables. There are also plans to bring in a rotating lineup of local food trucks and live music. Event and food truck schedules will be announced on each brewery's social media channels.

Regular hours of operation will be Thursdays 4 to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Nickel Brook was founded by John and Peter Romano in Burlington in 2005. Collective Arts was founded in 2013 by Matt Johnston and Bob Russell.
