Work Starts at Kernel’s New Brewery Tap

Fleet Architects has embarked on an exciting new project to design a bar and restaurant for Kernel Brewery, leveraging their extensive experience in creating award-winning bars, pubs, and hotels. The project commenced in March 2024 and is set for completion and opening in August. The design process has been heavily influenced by the minimalist, stripped-back branding of Kernel Brewery’s bottle design, aiming to reflect the brewery’s aesthetic ethos while introducing a fresh, contemporary atmosphere.

The new bar and restaurant will feature innovative materials such as hemp board and recycled strand board, chosen for their sustainability and modern appeal. These materials will be used to create a space that is both contemporary and comfortable, aligning with Kernel Brewery’s commitment to quality and simplicity. The design seeks to offer a refined departure from the traditional rough and ready brewery tap ethos without completely abandoning it, maintaining a connection to the brewery’s roots while offering an elevated dining and drinking experience.

Fleet Architects’ design for Kernel Brewery is poised to become a standout addition to the local hospitality scene, blending sustainable materials with a clean, modern aesthetic. This project highlights the firm’s ability to adapt and innovate within different contexts, building on their proven track record in the hospitality sector. The new bar and restaurant will not only enhance the brewery’s brand but also provide a welcoming environment for patrons to enjoy Kernel Brewery’s renowned products in a setting that reflects the brewery’s unique identity.
