PRESS RELEASE

“BARRELING INTO THE FUTURE THROUGH THE PAST”

BARRELHOUSE BREWING CO. EXPANDS IN PASO ROBLES TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE HISTORIC SHERWOOD FIELD HANGAR PROPERTY


PASO ROBLES, CA – BarrelHouse Brewing Co. is proud to announce its expansion in Paso Robles, CA, through their purchase of THE HANGAR. This historic property is on the corner of Niblick Road and Creston Road. The plans for THE HANGAR Project will bring excitement and variety to this expanding area of Paso Robles.  

BarrelHouse Brewing Co. is excited to write the next chapter in their history with the creation of THE HANGAR. This legendary 10-acre property, nestled within East Paso Robles, will become the home to their all-new production facility.  “We are bringing the Good People, Good Times and Great Beer that started in Tin City and expanding it to this amazing new location,” stated Jason Carvalho, BarrelHouse Brewing Co. Owner/Founder. 

THE HANGAR project consists of 100,000 square feet of conditioned space on 10 acres of property, which will house a larger brewhouse, new packaging equipment and will allow for the much-needed expansion of production. This updated brewing facility will be even more efficient, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and eco-friendly solar, water and CO2 technology. “BarrelHouse Brewing Co. strives to be good stewards of our environment while crafting high-quality, balanced beers,” stated Jason Carvalho. 

The 5-year vision for THE HANGAR includes an open market concept utilizing the 1940s hangar and surrounding grounds to service the growing population on Paso Robles's east side. The dream is to partner with the very best local purveyors and artisans, showcasing the premium foods, beverages, and services the area has to offer while locals can enjoy community with family and friends. 

The charm of THE HANGAR’s legacy stretches back to the golden age of aviation. Built in 1940 by the Army Corp. of Engineers, the original hangar was the Central Coast base of operations for the US Army Air Force and Navy during World War II. After the war, multiple generations of working families were employed by the Ennis Paper Company on these grounds, creating a unique history in Paso Robles that needs to be shared. 

BarrelHouse’s design vision will showcase this colorful history (including actual vintage airplanes and printer presses) while creating a spectacular new community experience. THE HANGAR Project is a unique tribute to local history, deepening the roots of BarrelHouse Brewing Co. in the community that it calls home.

BarrelHouse Brewing Co., the largest American family-owned Brewery on the Central Coast, is dedicated to producing premium quality craft beer while bringing the community together. THE HANGAR is an exciting new opportunity to further build BarrelHouse Brewing Co.’s promise of bringing together Good People, Good Times and Great Beer, where everyone is welcome.

F&Q

Is BarrelHouse House Paso in Tin City moving?

BarrelHouse in Tin City on Limestone Way in Paso Robles is not only staying but becoming bigger and better!

Our goal is to transition all brewing and packaging to the HANGAR in the Winter/Spring of 2024.

Production outgrew our current location in Tin City years ago. This will no longer be the case. This new facility will house a larger, more efficient five-vessel brewhouse, more fermentation space, a centrifuge to squeeze out every last drop, and a solid vision and plan to recoup and reuse as much of our processing products as possible (ie: CO2, water, process water, etc).

We’re excited to start produce (a lot) more beer, more efficiently, while increasing the quality even more!

Sour and barrel-aged beer production will move from the adjacent building to where our current packaging is handled.

Once that transition is complete, we’ll start renovating the entire inside of the existing Paso Robles taproom to create the ultimate taproom experience our customers deserve! 


Where will your corporate office be located?

Most of our managers will relocate to the new HANGAR location. These new offices will have a purpose-built design, harnessing our already strong team culture and taking it to the next level. 


Will the HANGAR have a taproom and live music?

The short answer is, Yes.  Although phase one is production. Phase two is to create the ultimate community gathering space. This new open-air space will anchor our new Public Market concept, tying together the dozens of other hand-curated purveyors, creating an experience unlike anything else in this county.


What is parking like at THE HANGAR?

THE HANGAR sits on nearly 10 acres of dirt and has ample parking for staff and customers.


I’m INTERESTED IN LEASING SOME OF THE SPACE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:

Much of the extra warehousing space is already leased out to local businesses, but if you are interested in the remaining spaces, please send us an email.


What does the timeline look like?

Here’s what we’re planning! Keep in mind, as with any project of this scale, it will keep evolving over time. Good thing there’s plenty of good beer to drink in the mean time.

2023-2024

Lease out peripheral warehouse buildings to local businesses. Design, build and move production and corporate offices to THE HANGAR.

2025-2026

Design and build THE HANGER marketplace and beer gardens.

2027-2030

Design and develop the East 5 acres of property to expand and enhance THE HANGER by providing commercial manufacturing facilities for our purveyors of the marketplace.
