Blackberry Farm Brewery sought to construct a place for their community to gather and enjoy their carefully crafted beverages. Located in Maryville, TN, a 3,043 SF pre-engineered metal building was renovated to house the newly imagined taproom. Now, the warm and inviting space not only highlights the brewing process but emulates what the company is all about: community, craft, and collaboration.
