The Blackburn Group came to DCS with a vision to build a state-of-the-art brewhouse and Production Facility in the heart of Niagara's' growing business sector. Their goal was to create a unique and diverse space, where members of the local community can come and gather to experience the makings of a local brewery, share food, stories and local knowledge. The process started with a group trip to Columbus Ohio to visit the 100,000 SF BREW DAWGS flag ship brewery hotel. Capturing a sense of large open spaces with comforting vibe, our design and construction team (Blackburn Group, ACK Architect, DCS) left full of inspiration and a and with a vision of what is now one of the largest players in the contract brewing game within the region.
