This property has a long history and we were determined to keep that history while updating towards a more modern, welcoming look. Constructed in 1891 during the waning years of logging in Eau Claire, the David P. Graves house features a gable front and wing façade and wood frame, characteristic of Folk Victorian architecture. The house maintains its original wood siding and windows, as well as original decorative gable trim featured on the front two gables.  
  
With updated amenities guests will feel right at home. During the summer guests can enjoy a beautiful three seasons patio and short walks to local parks.

The Brewing Projekt's TapRoom is a gathering place for friends, families, and strangers who are on the hunt for fresh, interesting, and innovative beers. Regularly you'll find "pilot" beers or "projekt" beers they're working on to refine for full production or just some goofy idea we decided to give a shot. The official motto is "Work worth doing, beer worth brewing" and the unofficial motto is... Well, it isn't exactly family friendly. That said, the TapRoom IS family- and dog-friendly, as long as they're both well behaved. Sit at the bar or chill on the rooftop patio. Try a beer from our 20 line tap tower and play a game of kubb from our kubb pitch.
