Brewers Hill by Foot: The Architecture of Brewing Beer

Natty Boh Tower Parking Lot 3600 O'Donnell St, Baltimore, MD, United States

The 27 acre brewery site is surrounded by the Brewers Hill neighborhood, which developed between 1915 and 1920 and is replete with rows of brick homes and marble steps. Join David Knipp, a project manager for the redevelopment of the Brewers Hill complex, on a tour of the brewery site in all of its beer-making glory and current buzz of activity.
