The building takes its name from the brewery that once defined the neighborhood and its preserved exterior walls tell the story of local craftsmanship. Visitors can observe how the architecture reflects the importance of beer production in shaping this district's character.
The site has been converted to office spaces but the exterior structures remain visible and accessible from the street. Walking through the neighborhood gives the best view of how the building relates to its surroundings.
