Lebanon Sunken Silo Brewery

The technical demands of brewing meet the warmth of a public tasting room.

Sunken Silo taproom with a long gray bar, metal stools, pendant lights, and brewing tanks at the rear.

At Sunken Silo Brew Works in New Jersey, Coppola Brothers balanced the technical demands of a working brewery with the welcoming character of a public tasting room. The team refined the original plans through value engineering to align the scope with the owner’s budget while preserving the project’s vision.

Behind the rustic commercial finishes lies a complex network of underground plumbing, electrical infrastructure, and process piping for heating and cooling the brewing vessels. Extensive concrete work, completed over multiple pours, serves both structural and aesthetic purposes. Custom bar and restroom design completes a space where production and hospitality work together.
