Curator notes

  • Opened June 2019 in the old E. & B. Holmes Machinery pattern building on Chicago Street, part of the Old First Ward's comeback.[2]
  • Ground-floor taproom seats about 100 inside the original brick shell.[2]
  • Upstairs: a mezzanine that holds 125 and a private space for up to 300, both overlooking the working brewhouse. Good for events.[2]
  • The beer garden runs 20 by 165 feet, seats around 150, and has three fire pits plus a heated patio, so it works year-round.[2]
  • Programming leans toward trivia nights, paint-and-sip, brewery tours, and seasonal stuff like Oktoberfest rather than live music.[3]
