WINNER: 7 Seas Waterfront Taproom

Category

Hospitality Development of the Year

Description

The second retail location for local craft brewer 7 Seas, this waterfront taproom and brewery combined historical reverence, architectural innovation, and environmental harmony along with a smidge of irreverence. Affectionately named “Beer Church” by the design team, the project’s construction was a complex collaboration between Washington Patriot Construction, Ferguson Architecture, and a team of superb consultants and subcontractors. The completed taproom has become a local favorite gathering spot since its opening in October last year.
