Odd question Re: Brewpub/breweries on 2nd floors

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.

 

Not a Brewpub but a great Taphouse The republic is on the second floor Calhoun Square Minneapolis

 

I can't remember for sure, but I think Nodding Head in Philly has its set-up on the second floor.

 

IIRC, the Gordon Biersch outpost in Seattle is on the 4th floor of their building.

 

Offshore Ale Co in Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard.

 

Triumph Brewery in Princeton, NJ.

 

Paper City brewery in Holyoke. It is on the 4th floor (give or take a floor).

 

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.

 

That is correct.

 

Big Boss in Raleigh, NC has their tap room on the 2nd floor. Its like a frathouse inside. Very cool place.

 

Against the Grain's system in Louisville spans three floors.

 

Boston Beer Works on Canal Street in Boston may have the brewery on the second floor IIRC.

 

I love Nodding Head and I think you are right. Might have to make a trip to be sure...

 

The Mitten Brewing in G.R. Is in an old Firehouse. They brew on the second floor.

 

The brewhouse is on the first floor behind the kitchen, 3 barrel electric system.
