Sure The Big E State Houses are cool, but have you been behind them?
While the iconic State Houses at The Big E draw crowds of visitors, many fairgoers may be missing out on a hidden gem tucked just behind these popular attractions. Beer gardens, nestled behind, between and beyond the six State Houses, offer a refreshing retreat for those in the know.
Sure there are dozens (hundreds?) of spots to grab a beer at The Big E, but these secluded beer gardens provide a perfect opportunity for fairgoers to relax and enjoy a beverage away from the bustling main thoroughfares of New England’s largest fair.
The beer gardens represent one of several “hidden gems” at The Big E that even regular attendees might overlook. While the state houses themselves showcase regional products, culture and cuisine from across New England, these behind-the-scenes spots offer a more laid-back atmosphere.
