The Honest Brewery

This project aims to expand the scope of the situated and socially conscious micro-brewery typology, with a focus on becoming part of the fabric of local, diverse exchanges across the Castlegate area. Reinvesting profits into local opportunities and expanding into exchange networks across Sheffield creates greater interactions and exchanges that drive a greater collective ability to respond to challenges facing the area through local collaboration and activism. Across the site the dweller is placed within making and producing processes, to create a greater openness and honesty to these exchanges. Non-process time and space becomes ‘In-between’ space of exchange, collaboration, and potential for community wealth building events and program.
