Architecture and PlanningUnited States2-10 Employees

OPA Design Studio has worked with breweries of various sizes, scales and scopes.  Our firm has more experience in providing architectural design and consulting for small and large production breweries than any other design firm in Texas. Whether it be a small production brewpub or a large  production & destination brewery , OPA Design Studio can help you maximize your production, growth potential and profit. 
Our team has considerable experience in working with numerous brew house, vessel,  and keg washer equipment providers. It is critical to understand the spatial, process, utility, and operations impact of all the equipment components vital to brewing production.  We recognize that the process of brewery design requires repeated and thorough discussion on how the facility will operate at each phase of production.  
Our principal, Stephen Oliver, has served on the City of Austin Planning Commission (currently chair) during the evolution of local ordinances related to breweries under recently amended state laws for on-site sales.  He has a deep knowledge in the working structure of the ordinance and applying Austin’s code to a wide range of sites and facility conditions.  We specialize in navigating the feasibility, design and complex permitting requirements and maximizing the investment of our clients at each step of the process.  
Maximizing production efficiency and functionality is critical to brewery design but remember that opportunities are always present to maximize the experience visiting the brewery through tours and tasting room opportunities.  Breweries present unique brand presentation opportunities through architecture which have the ability to build upon the foundation provided by the quality of the beer itself.
We have enjoyed being a part of the market evolution and continue learning about both current and future trends.  We look forward to continuing to grow with clients and build new relationships both inside and outside the craft industry.
