Craft Brewery: Where Everyone Knows Your Name

2024 NARI National CotY™ for Commercial Interior remodel; Kimberly, Wisconsin: The owners wanted to create a community gathering place to enjoy each other’s company, share stories and a laugh over a unique craft beer. It was important that it be accessible and welcoming to all (including dogs!). ​

​​

The brewery was built in the former walk-in cooler and warehouse of a grocery store. A major challenge was to bring warmth to what was literally a freezer and storage area. This was addressed through the design and materials used.​​​

​​

Another challenge was fitting the brewing equipment and plumbing fixtures into the limited space of the brewhouse. With planning, all the pipes and hoses were set into the brewery room and the concrete floor in an efficient and organized manner. ​

​​

The design vision is a contemporary, slightly industrial, taproom with a Pacific Northwest flair. Composed of a mix of sustainable wood, glass, and steel, the space is warm, inviting, and uplifting.​​

​​

The tap room is intimate and cozy, but not cramped. Its clean lines and contemporary design are energizing. Its warm, dark tones are inviting. Like a good friend, it’s a place people will be drawn to, for fun, for comfort, for company. A place where everybody knows your name. ​​

​​

“Everyday someone new comes in and compliments on how the space transforms their mood, their peace of mind and how welcoming it is. I can’t tell you how proud that makes me feel knowing that we can change how a person feels and bring happiness and joy without doing a thing except welcoming them in.”
