Bad Martha Farmers Brewery in East Falmouth has hired Bryan Link as new head brewer. Mr. Link previously worked as production brewer at the 37,000-barrel Lord Hobo Brewing Company in Woburn and before that as head brewer at Stark Brewery and Adventure Brewery. Bad Martha brews, cans and kegs all its own beer in East Falmouth and also brews its own beer on site on Martha’s Vineyard for consumption there. Another addition to the East Falmouth brewery is the Mellow Meadow Wildflower Beer Garden, which provides a picnic-style experience. The Wildflower Beer Garden is a full-service extension of the brewery. It also has a walking trail that winds through the wildflowers beyond the seating area. The new space is ideal for families and dog owners. Two whimsical sculptures are now dancing in the Wildflower Beer Garden. They were created by West Tisbury artist Thomas Maley—who was known for sculptures that represent the human spirit—and are joyful odes to life. The sculptures are from the Field Gallery that he founded in 1970 in West Tisbury. Another feature of the East Falmouth Mellow Meadow includes special events with local pop-up vendors such as Kured, a Falmouth-based company known for charcuterie with a creative presentation flair.
