The beer garden opened last week, but big changes are still on the way, including an additional beer line, remodeled restrooms and more picnic table seating.
Last weekend was the first hot weekend of the year, and instinctively, hundreds made their way to the Estabrook Beer Garden to enjoy a cold one.
