Beyond the Pale to open taproom, events space at former Courtyard Restaurant building (OBJ)
The Ottawa Business Journal (OBJ) - Sept 18, 2024
The former location of the Courtyard Restaurant is no longer sitting empty as work begins to transform the space into a taproom and event space that will retain the charm of the historic property.
Beyond the Pale Brewing Co., which has been brewing beers in Ottawa since 2012, has signed a lease with the National Capital Commission and last week began the process of restoring the space.
“We’re lucky in a way that everybody else has treated it as a heritage building in their construction,” co-owner and brewmaster Shane Clark told OBJ during a tour of the property. “They haven’t made giant holes in the brick. They haven’t cut into any of that structure. It’s been maintained. So really, for us, it’s just removing the years of buildup and cables and layers and layers of drywall and flooring.”
