Licensing board reverses decision on North beer garden

NORTH ATTLEBORO - The town's licensing board Wednesday reversed a decision made last week preventing Angle Tree Brewery to operate a beer garden on the Veterans Common in front of town hall during the fifth annual Downtown North Attleborough Collaborative Block Party.

The vote by the licensing board to approve the beer garden occurred less than two hours before the start of the party.

Angle Tree had operated a similar garden during the collaborative’s farmers market with no issues reported.

In spite of that, last week’s request was failed approval on a 1-1 vote when a board member, representing the police department, voted in the negative.

That same member did not attend Wednesday’s meeting.
