Brewing news USA, Washington, DC: City-State Brewing starts construction after more than three years of fundraising and planning

After more than three years of fundraising and planning, a former Senate staffer’s brewery started construction last week near the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station in D.C.’s Edgewood neighbourhood, WTOP reported on July 27.

Attending the official groundbreaking were representatives from the office of D.C.’s deputy mayor for planning and economic development and the Department of Small and Local Business Development, as well as Council Member Elissa Silverman.

James Warner, also a former Peace Corps volunteer, signed a lease for 13,000 square feet at 705 Edgewood Street Northeast in January, and has ambitious plans for the space.

City-State will comprise two connected brew houses: a 20-barrel system for larger batches and a five-barrel brew house for experimental beers. It will include a large, on-site taproom, a biergarten, community use space, events rental space and a catering kitchen.

City-State will be able to host live music and will partner with D.C. food trucks for events and customers at the taproom.

Warner expects to incorporate D.C. history in the brewpub and its beers. A wall of fame will feature local legends and beers with D.C.-centric names such as 8 Wards Independent Pale Ale, Lost Laws Pilsner and a saison called The Brookland.

“We’re opening in a historically diverse neighborhood. I’m a Brookland resident, and I want to make sure that, as we build our microbrewery, we’re also building our community,” Warmer said.

Warner has also launched a new Opportunity Zone Fund to attract additional investors and will use additional investments for jobs and apprenticeships at the brewery, he said. He has also been working with local restaurateur Nick Freshman’s Mothersauce Partners to attract investors.

Warner spent several years working as a brewing apprentice, server and craft beer salesman to prepare for his own brewery business.

City-State will join more than two dozen craft brewers already in the District, many of them concentrated in Northeast, where warehouse space is available and rents are more affordable.
