Banded Peak Labatt Facility

Named after a prominent mountain in the nearby Rockies, Banded Peak Brewery began as a small homebrewing venture among childhood friends and has grown into a respected craft brewery. Located in the Manchester Industrial District of Calgary, this facility is known for its outdoor spirit and adventurous roots. This expansion project aimed to more than double the brewery's production capacity, enhancing its role as both a distribution hub and a destination.

The new design for Banded Peak Brewery Facility's expansion captures the brand's essence, drawing inspiration from the majestic Rockies. The facility features two mountain range-like structures framing a glazed passage, creating a visual connection between the brewery's activity and the street. This innovative approach integrates industrial materials with modern urban design, reflecting the character of both the brewery and the Manchester neighbourhood.

The expansion employs simple yet striking metal siding and perforated screening to add textural depth to the façade, offering visitors a compelling visual experience as they approach the brewery. The rooftop patio is a standout feature of the new design, which enhances the brewery's appeal as a social destination. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views while overlooking the vibrant brewing activity below. The brewing equipment is prominently showcased along the north building edge and through a glazed corner, allowing rooftop patrons to view the brewing process through skylights.

The expansion of the Banded Peak Brewery Facility increases production capabilities and reinforces the brewery's status as a key destination in Calgary. By blending functionality with aesthetic appeal, the expansion continues Banded Peak Brewery's tradition of celebrating craft and community.
