    Do any fellow BAs know of any small breweries or brewpubs that have their brew houses located on the second floor of the building they are in. I know that Bluejacket in DC is set up this way, how about any others?

    Rock Bottom in Portland, OR. They use a freight elevator to move stuff up and down, iirc.

    Maumee Bay brewing in Toledo Ohio has their main brewery located across the street from their brewpub which is in the historic Oliver House which was a VA hospital many years ago. The brew pub is operated on the 1st and 2nd floors with the second floor being home to their small batch brew kettles.

    Newburgh Brewing Company has their beer hall on the second floor of an old paper box factory. You can see the double doors where they lifted up the crates.

    Seven Bridges Grille and Brewery in Jacksonville, FL has their brewhouse on the second floor. Ferementers are also there; brite tanks and serving tanks in the cold room on the first floor. They have base malt in silos and an auger to move it up to the brewhouse. Not sure how they get sacks of specialty malt there. A favorite hangout.

    Snake River and Standing Stone are two recent visits that come to mind with being on an upper level over the brewpub. Cranker's here in Michigan (Big Rapids location) has brewing equipment on the main floor and upstairs. All three of these probably could be called a 'mezzanine' level rather than a second floor, but it is upstairs. Gravity feeding of grain during the brewing may be a factor in the two-level brew houses.
