Mighty Squirrel Brewing Draws Inspiration from Waverley Oaks
In 2018, Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. set down roots at our 65-acre mixed-use campus, Waverley Oaks Park, with a 23,000-square-foot space featuring a 4,000-square-foot taproom, 5,000-square-foot brewing space, two patios and 5,000-square-feet of additional space which is now home to Central Rock Waltham. Today, as Waltham’s only brewery and taproom, their flagship location is a popular family-friendly destination for locals and tourists alike.
At Duffy, it is our family tradition to offer significant value and build solid relationships with all our partners, and we take pride in our properties and commitment to our clients. It has been an honor watching Mighty Squirrel grow and thrive over the past 6 years – in 2025 they will open their third permanent location at Arsenal Yards in Watertown.
Over their 6-year tenancy, Mighty Squirrel has established many partners and supporters right here at Waverley Oaks Park! Keep reading to learn more about the collaborations and friendships that came to life in the form of a brew!
SENSI JIM
True Martial Arts Academy, a Park tenant, has provided the highest level of martial arts education and training for over forty years! “Sensei Jim” is a Japanese lager named in honor of Owner, Jim True, for his years of commitment to teaching and service work in the Waltham community. This clean, crisp, refreshing lager with a soft hop nose is brewed with large portions of rice to create a light color and body with an exquisite dry finish.
THE WAVE
The Wave Sports Pub was a fixture at 411 Waverley Oaks Road for more than three decades, and The Wave pays homage the legendary establishment! This German pilsner drinks crisp while balancing additions of Perle hops with a solid malt backbone.
BROOKSIDE KOLSH
Inspired by the 300 acres of open fields, woodlands, ponds, and streams that run adjacent to the brewery, Brookside Kölsch is a salute to Beaver Brook Reservation. Crisp, golden, and with sweet smells of fresh-cut flowers, this Kölsch has a light bitterness and a citrusy smooth finish.
AZZUR
This IPA was named after Azzur Group, a Park tenant, for their generous contributions to local non-profits and through the research they support with their state of the art lab space. Azzur is a fluffy, juicy IPA with tropical aromas and notes of passion fruit, mango, and starfruit.
DEAR BOB
Dear Bob debuted in 2023 as a tribute to Bob Duffy, Co-Director of Commercial Real Estate! Dear Bob is a bold and bright IPA, bursting with zesty citrus aromas and big notes of juicy pink grapefruit.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
In December 2018 Mighty Squirrel opened its doors in Waltham’s Waverley Oaks Park and they have been making it their home ever since. Happy Anniversary brew is a tribute to the mighty moments that have been experienced, celebrated, and yet to come! This special 6th anniversary release is a decadent stout crafted to evoke the rich flavors of a classic Chocolate Raspberry Torte.
