Photo provided | | | | | | Amid the selection of many eateries that line the streets of downtown Lafayette, there is one type of establishment that has been notably absent - a brewery. That is set to change this coming spring.
The Headlands Brewing Company has announced it has signed a lease and begun the design and build phase for its new brewery, taproom and beer garden, which will be located at 3420 Mt. Diablo Blvd. next to Bonehead's Texas BBQ and Locanda Positano.
"Our first Bay Area home has been a long time coming, but patience has paid off and we are thrilled to have finally found the perfect spot to continue building our vision for Headlands and the adventurous lifestyle that we embrace in everything we do," said Alex Bru, General Manager of Headlands Brewing in a statement.
At the Lafayette location the award-winning brewery company will feature small batch ales along with guest beers, local wines and ciders, and a light "creative" food program. Headlands is currently recruiting applicants for its new brewing team in advance of its spring 2021 goal for opening.
Headlands is partnering with seasoned bar and restaurant designers, Ben Frombgen of BCooperative and Joel DiGiorgio of Farm League Restaurant Group, tapping these two companies as they have worked together on other beer-related venues including Drake's Dealership and Arthur Mac's Tap & Snack in Oakland.
"Our indoor and outdoor design plan for the new brewery will feature a taproom with a 20-tap floating draught tower, two outdoor patios with fire pits and family-friendly open landscaping," says DiGiorgio.
Bru is looking forward to the opening. "The people of Lafayette and Contra Costa County have been incredibly kind to us and we're eager to celebrate and toast our passion for quality craft beer and outdoor adventure with them all." |
