THE DOGRUN

Lake|Flato Architects is pleased to announce that San Antonio’s own Alamo Beer Company Brewery is on its way.  Located east of highway 281 and just south of the historic Hays Street bridge, the 18,000 square foot brewery is uniquely positioned at the gateway to the Dignowity Hill neighborhood.  In addition to crafting crisp, tasty brews, the project aims to catalyze the city’s growing east side, providing a vibrant destination for locals and visitors alike. The design organizes and connects the 3 primary programmatic elements:  brewery operations, administrative offices, and beer hall.  The buildings and the existing bridge help define a shady courtyard and public activity zones for all ages. The simple pre-engineered steel structures with rusted metal skins include broad openings that afford glimpses into the brewery operations and allow the indoor occupants to mingle in the central outdoor spaces. Along with a fully-functional microbrewery, the site will host tours, tastings, a bar and beer garden, as well as a variety of outdoor games and activities.  Here at Lake Flato, we can’t wait for the brewery to break ground this fall! The project team includes Cameron Smith, Greg Papay, Jamie Sartory and Matt Hlavinka above: vicinity map above: site plan above: program diagram above: view from hays street bridge above: view from parking
