Métier Brewing Co., which is one of only a few Black-owned craft breweries in the nation, opened its new flagship taproom in Seattle's Central District over the weekend.

Graham Baba Architects designed the new 2,000-square-foot space at 2616 E. Cherry St. The brewery has an industrial but warm feel, with steel and wood as the dominant materials. The taproom serves eight to 10 MBC beers, alongside a Japanese street food pop-up by Umami Kushi.

Marc Greene, founder and contractor of Greene Home Redesign, was in charge of the taproom's buildout. GHR is a veteran and Black-owned business that focuses on hiring other minority subcontractors.

“Expanding into one of Seattle's historically Black neighborhoods is an important step in living our mission to brew damn good beer and build stronger community to inspire bigger dreams for all,” MBC co-founder, Rodney Hines, said in a statement about the opening. “We're excited to open our doors at Cherry Street and look forward to seeing new and familiar faces who share an appreciation for building community while enjoying a well-crafted brew.”

A grand opening event was held Saturday featuring prize giveaways and live music. MBC also has a location at 14125 N.E. 189th St. in Woodinville.
