The Catskill Brewery makes fresh ales and lagers using the best natural ingredients available. We make beer here, but we live here too, so we keep an eye on the steps we take and make sure we don’t leave a trace. In our building, our beliefs, and our process, we look for every opportunity to make the best beer, share the best stories, and introduce new people to this place we love.
The Catskill Brewery is a 7,050 sf facility that house two beverage businesses- the state of the art brewery, and an importer of organic fruit nectars from around the world. The 5,000 sf brewery is a single story steel structure with a central clerestory that brings in daylight throughout, and a dedicated grain milling room with dust capture filtration to ensure good air quality in the work environment. The brewery hosts both oak cask aging racks and a reclaimed wood-paneled tasting area that add warmth and character for visitors can enjoy.
Other sustainable features include: -Redevelopment of a previously occupied site, with demolition debris and asphalt recycled and reused -100% permeable paving and native plantings with no irrigation -EV charging and bicycle amenities -Storm-water reduction reduced by 39% from pre-construction site conditions -Low-flow fixtures -Day-lighting and views throughout with lighting controls -LED high-bay fixtures and task lighting -40% of energy costs met through on-site renewables -Off-site energy provided through Green Power -25% recycled content of building materials -28% energy performance over ASHRAE 90.1 2004 Appendix G baseline – The ECOSTEEL BUILDING envelope efficiencies include continuous, thermal bridge-free exterior insulation double the R-value per code, resulting in reducing the ground source heat pump system by approximately 50% -Ground source heat pump for heating and cooling, solar thermal collection for brew house process water, heat-recovery from process water, and photovoltaic electricity generation.
