Up to 40 guests can sit outside, enjoying the river views on Adirondack chairs and at table seating. The space is also dog-friendly.

Oppermann Architects designed the deck to match the brewery's interior, with cedar posts, black trim and railings with cable. 212 Degree Construction brought the vision to life.

Opened in 2023, Sturdy Shelter Brewing has 18 beers on tap, all brewed on-site. The current draft list is live on the brewery's website.
