Yards Brewing Company

70,000 SF Brewery Headquarters
Philadelphia, PA
​
We are proud to have provided engineering services for our favorite brewer. Philadelphia's finest brewing company has relocated all operations to an existing facility located at 5th and Spring Garden. All MEP systems were upgraded and modified to suit the needs of the new tap room, private event space, and production spaces. We've never been so excited for a project to be finished since we now can patronize this stunning brewery and taste the beers of our labor.
