We partnered with Rockwell Beer Company (RBC) to redevelop a former vacant machine shop into a craft beer destination. Located along Vandeventer Avenue within the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood adjacent to The Grove District, sits Rockwell Beer Company’s brewing facility, warehouse/shipping area, tasting room and retail space made from shipping containers and traditional materials. The space supports both beer on draft in the taproom and in cans with a permanent canning line.
Seeing the vision
The brewhouse features a 15-barrel system and three Missouri oak foeders for future aging projects. The 90-seat tasting room highlights a ceiling designed from foeder oak scraps and a container kitchen.
New light to the Neighborhood
The project took over two years from initial concept through completion and created 18 new jobs, bringing new life to a once overlooked Vandeventer Avenue.
A lot of developers wouldn't have taken a chance on Rockwell, but they saw potential in our project. They saw the vision for a revitalized Vandeventer corridor.
