Site-1 Brewing (2566 Farnam St) - TAP ROOM CLOSED

Post by iamjacobm »

Liquor license request for "Launch Brewing" at 2566 Farnam, the Farnam Hill redevelopment. Supposed to be an incubator for brewers so the offerings will be everchanging.

Site-1 Brewing on 25th and Farnam opened just before Christmas. They changed the name from Launch to Site-1 prior to opening. I dropped by over the holidays and it was slow but I expect that it' going to be a great place as we get past COVID.

Just curious when and why they changed their name from Launch Brewing to Site-1 Brewing?

Read a couple positive reviews on this place.

There is a Launch Pad Brewing in Colorado that was going to contest the name. Went to the soft opening, good beer and food. The building is an old Historic Firestone Dealer, it is listed on the Historic Register and received tax credits.

I've been to Launch Pad and Site-1. Both are nice, but Site-1 has much better looking tap room.

Backlot is one of our favorite restaurants in town and the ownership/management has always been amazing. Just hosted my wife's 50th birthday at Backlot in Elkhorn and they had talked about their acquisition of Site 1, adding their pizzas to that location, etc. I hope they do very well!

Taproom has closed, still brewing beers.

Our brewery remains in operation, and our beers will continue to be available at local bars and restaurants throughout the area.
Thank you to everyone who supported the taproom over the years. We look forward to continuing to provide great beer to our customers and partners. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement!

I believe they were going to re-brand and open a location at the former Old Chicago near Oakview (144th and Center). Ironically I had looked at that location before opening in the Field Club. I like the spot, but it required a 2nd rear exit, and bathrooms to be installed. The 2nd exit was the big problem due to the lower level of retail spaces on the backside of the building. The building owner didn’t seem very eager about adding a 2nd exit which rules out any kind of food or beverage business.

Didn't Good Evans move into where Old Chicago used to be?

Do they have a rear exit or 2? Was their partial rental the reason why the other side does not have a 2nd rear exit?

I don't know. We just ate there once and didn't get all the way to the back.
