About Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co.
Mighty Squirrel was founded in 2015 by friends and homebrewers Naveen Pawar and Henry Manice. Since then, we’ve expanded the distribution of our beers across Massachusetts through our partner, Atlantic Beverage.
In December 2018, we opened our first brick-and-mortar brewery and taproom in Waltham, where guests can experience the full brewing process from start to finish. In March 2024, we launched our Fenway location — a vibrant space that combines the energy of a brewery taproom, the comfort of a coffee shop, and elevated food from our scratch kitchen.
In May 2025, we opened the Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen at Arsenal Yards in Watertown, continuing our growth with a focus on thoughtfully executed food, craft beer, and community-driven hospitality.
Mighty Squirrel is always exploring fun and creative ways to engage with the community through events, collaborations, and partnerships.
