BRINGING BEAUTY TO BREWERY ’ S OUTDOORS SPACES Ayres ’ landscape architects , civil and MEP engineers , and land surveyors are teaming with Evolve Architects to develop design and construction documents for a Leinenkugel ’ s / Molson Coors Leinie Lodge property in Chippewa Falls , Wisconsin . The Lodge is expanding its outdoor patio and adding a second outdoor space to the private Pilot Brewery . Ayres and Evolve are designing each of these spaces to become inviting environments that tie into the existing aesthetic of the Lodge , blending industrial and rustic materials to invoke a beer garden-style warmth .

Additionally , the plan includes fire pits , permanent and movable seating , flexible game areas , and improvements that will extend the season of use . outdoor space will connect the party inside to the outside . To address the challenges of a nearby busy intersection and to improve curb appeal , the proposed design includes festoon lighting , food truck parking , seating for an additional 50 + guests , mural walls , and game areas , while maintaining operational use for brewing beer .
In addition to these two spaces , the team is also providing a flexible and easily maintained lawn and a design for a cold storage facility and masonry trash enclosure that solves the diminished storage resulting from the construction of these outdoor spaces . The architectural style will match the historic feel of the Leinenkugel ’ s grounds , complementing the original buildings with details like arched windows , stone and brick masonry , and architectural coping .
