“We’re so proud to continue our support of the Swampscott Fish House,” Aaron Reames, co-founder and president of Bent Water Brewing, told Patch. “It’s the oldest still-working fish house in the entire country, which is a pretty amazing piece of history tied so close to our roots here on the North Shore.”
The Fish House operates to connect fishermen and women with each other by providing a space to store their fishing gear, trade supplies and share stories.

“Between the Bent Water on the Beach event and personal donations from members of our team over the years, we’ve helped raise thousands of dollars towards preserving the Fish House both as a landmark and as an active storage facility for local fishermen,” Reames said.
This year’s event features music by Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket, DJ Double You, and Big Flows & Stacking Stones Band, and food available through the Swampscott Yacht Club.
There is a $7 admission charge to the food and music area or a $25 admission that includes entry and two drink tickets.
Tickets can be purchased the day of the event or in advance here.
