Project Description
Wild Blue Yonder Brewing Company is a contemporary gesture to the site’s long history and sets a precedent for future developments to come. Completed in Fall 2018, Denver-based architecture firm Clutch Design Studio designed Wild Blue Yonder Brewing as Castle Rock’s newest addition to the Colorado craft beer scene.
Located on a prominent corner of Wilcox, a primary north/south street in Historic Downtown Castle Rock, the new development is a nod to the owners’ U.S. Air Force background, capturing a strong sense of adventure throughout the development’s interior.
The revered, quiet upscale area now speaks to a multi-generational customer with a pushed front exterior seating area (with market lights overhead) to the edge of the sidewalk, providing a much desired view of “The Rock” that engages passerby.
Choosing to celebrate the process and not hide the beer production facilities, the interior places the brewery front and center with tanks on display from both the exterior corner and the interior dining area. The bar top design is aligned with the bars subtle Air Force theme, decorated with an illustrative art piece displaying all the flights in the world currently in the air, filled with people exploring the Wild Blue Yonder.
