I'm tempted to agree with you -- because beer gardens are bordering on cliche now -- but the reason why there are so many beer gardens is because there are so few places to drink in Boston, particularly outside. Until the shit liquor license situation gets fixed, things like this will always be an attraction.
 
The city is getting activity in the park and supporting local business, sounds good to me. The brewery on the common/ Boylston stop was a nice activation of the Tremont Corner. I think the City and parks department have the right idea about activities in the city. People on streets make for safe streets. By the way, the Red Bull snow boarding on City Hall Plaza a couple weeks ago; WoW, it was great to see how many people were downtown on a cold weekend!

While you are right about market saturation on the horizon, this is only for three weeks, and Roundhead is one of the more innovative small breweries in the Boston area. Further, I think this is a much better spot than the Tremont and Boylston beer garden.
