What: Castle Island Brewing Co.
Where: 10 Old Colony Ave., South Boston
Built: 2021
Owner: National Development
Boston’s newest brewing and tasting room retains the 18-foot ceilings and exposed concrete of an early 20th-century industrial building that’s part of the Iron Works mixed-use development.
Castle Island Brewing Co. includes a 220-capacity tasting room, 1,900-square-foot private event space and brewhouse equipped with seven 10-barrel tanks.
Project team members include Kaplan Construction, Somerville-based Joe the Architect, BLW Engineers and Souza True & Partners.
The building is part of the 2 million-square-foot Iron Works mixed-use project in a partnership between National Development and AEW Capital Management. Two life science buildings, two residential buildings and 55,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space are in permitting.
They Said It:
“This building has a strong personal significance to me as it used to be owned by my great-grandfather. I was very touched when the Kaplan team found an old blueprint of the building in the walls and had it framed for me to display. That level of thoughtfulness is unmatched in the industry.”
— Adam Romanow, founder and president, Castle Island Brewing Co.
