After the Common Roots Brewing Company experienced a devastating fire that destroyed their brewing and service operations, PDG was enlisted to design a new facility. The new building program combines a large-scale brewery with a full-service kitchen, filling a niche that was lacking in the nearby area. The design incorporates a modernized version of the surrounding agrarian aesthetic, allowing the building to stand out without looking out of place.

Traditional materials are incorporated alongside the clean lines of glass and metal.

This new modernized base of operation will facilitate the platform for expanding their distribution in the Northeast U.S. and beyond.
