rom the beginning, we have sent out roots. We do so seeking that which gives us life, to anchor us to the firmness of what we know. Roots give us strength, allowing us to grow and extend our reach; they sustain us and nurture us. Our roots, vast and intertwined, mimic those of the earth and all life it supports.

B

eer is the craft of tradition; the art of creating a legacy.

The realization of exquisite technique, passed between generations, across oceans and expansive terrain, it is an expression of the perfection of simplicity, refined and given depth through diligent attention and commitment to perfection. Beer is a work of art, designed to bring satisfaction to its master, and enjoyment to those with whom it is shared.

In the Over-the-Rhine Brewery District of Cincinnati, the rich brewing history is defined by eras of exuberant progress, refined technique and mastery of the craft, and punctuated with exhausting periods of economic frailty.

rooted in heritage

O

ur heritage roots us to a place. A city steeped in German heritage, the Overthe-Rhine Brewery District was built around the traditions of those early settlers who settled in to the valley around the Ohio River, who brought with them their faith, families, and love of beer.

Germans living in Over-the-Rhine began the brewing revolution, defining it as the third largest beer producing city in the US during the mid-1800s. The beer gardens of OTR, modeled after those of German tradition, became popular watering holes and social centers for community members.

beer gardens

B

eer Gardens originated in the German kingdom of Bavaria during the 19th Century. In order to keep their beer cool during fermentation, it was buried by the river in wooden kegs and trees were planted to provide shade and additional cooling.

These cellars soon were popular places not only to store, but also to serve the beer.

Simple wooden benches and tables were set up under the trees and hearty meals were served to the patrons. Live music and other forms of entertainment were not uncommon.

Beer gardens are defined by their presence within a natural context. In an urban environment, such a place becomes an oasis, a watering hole where people find escape.

history 15

Our roots extend beyond the realm of humans and our histories. That which is fresh and vital renews us. Root will allow nature to reestablish roots within its walls, transforming an abandoned brick box into an urban oasis where we come seeking refreshment and discover this renewal.

16

rooted in nature

N

ature sleeps under the concrete jungle.

As what we have made begins to decay, nature fluidly reclaims what is hers.

What delight we take in discovering that the urban fabric has compromised its cold rigidity to the beauty of a small tree, peeking through an alley or a tuft of grass escaping the hold of the vast sea of pavement. As a tree’s roots grow around obstacles, so too will we coexist with those things that have been altered since we last occupied this place. A history has been recorded in its transformation; a rich story of human toil and excellence, subdued by the passing of time and reinvigorated by its reclamation. These many stories exist harmoniously together within the new construct.

17

Located on the future streetcar loop, Root will be within the area of major economic influence it will introduce to the area. Root will be a dynamic adaptive reuse that will simultaneously honor the history of the OTR Brewery District, support planting & beautification efforts, and create a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly destination.

otr brewery district master plan

T

he OTR Brewery District Master Plan is an urban revitalization effort to celebrate Cincinnati’s beermaking tradition and replace many abandoned spaces and connect isolated assets with pedestrianfriendly, sustanainale mixed-use spaces (specifically listed as residential, retail, office, institutional, entertainment & manufacturing. The target strategy is to focus on the blocks just north of Liberty St. (Root is within scope), to capitalize on the momentum of the revitalization efforts that have been so successful in Southern OTR. The strategists plan to create corridors that enable to creation of vibrant public places that connect catalytic businesses.

rooted in community

A

revival is beginning; an unearthing of this sleeping legacy. Independent brewers from the Cincinnati area have begun to rediscover the craft for which the Over-theRhine of old was once renowned. With a 14% increase in craft beer sales in 2012, It is expected that number will continue to rise (Watkins, 2012). Root is envisioned as a brewery that will celebrate this unearthing of the underground Cincinnati Brewery District.

The Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corp. is...committed to making the OTR Brewery District a healthy, balanced and supportive neighborhood ...by preserving, restoring & redeveloping our unique brewing history & historic urbanfabric.

27

Beer and nature are inextricably linked.

The ingredients used in the production of beer are pure & simple. The hops, wheat and barley require sunlight, soil & water to grow. Add fresh water and yeast, and what human hands create is as pure & good as the land from which it came.

28

so, what is it?

independent brewery & gardens

B

eer is best when it is shared. For that reason, Root will be considered a place for the sharing of finely crafted beer. Distilling this concept to its essence, it is natural to begin with the production of beer. Root will be a brewing workshop where local, independent brewers lacking proper equipment or space can come and produce their custom brews. The brewmasters will start a knowledge collective, which they will then share (in beer and spoken word) with the OTR community. Root will largely be described by the lush greenery complementing the built space. Expressing the beer garden tradition, they are a natural companion to beer, and will be a delightful gem in the urban canvas.

why this is a great idea

R

oot will introduce new life & vibrancy to a space, a community, and an environment that has forgotten its roots. It will heal and repurpose an abandoned space, and allow it to once again support life on many levels. It will fill a market gap for craft brews that Findlay currently does not vend, and encourage increased business for the Market and its vendors. The brewery will assist in the reemergence of OTR as The Brewery District, and host independent brewers to produce their craft in a well-maintained facility with high-volume equipment. Root will serve as a source of inspiration for this & other communities, and will move us to begin reconciling our relationship with the earth & our history for future generations.

31

client

T

he owner of Root will be Greg Hardman, founder & president of the new Christian Moerlein Lager House. Hardman single handedly resurrected the Moerlein & Hudepohl beers, once Cincinnati legends, sadly laid to rest by the Prohibition in the 1920s. Though neither the gastropub nor the brewery will be associated with the Moerlein name, Hardman is an appropriate candidate because he is extremely familiar with Cincinnati’s brewing history, its beers, and is strongly supports the growing community of independent brewers. He would give these aspiring crafters a voice, and let it be heard loud & clear.

32

The Over-The-Rhine Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corp’s goals laid out in the Master Plan allign with those goals for celebration of the past with redevelopment for a sustainable history of the Over-the-Rhine community.

client + partners Findlay Market will supply Root with fresh ingredients and in return, Root will act as a craft brew merchant for the Market.

Cincinnati Parks and its Urban Forestry division plants, maintains and protects trees in downtown Cincinnati, and their Greenspace program is an urban landscaping initiative to beautify and impact the economy.

{ independent brewers }

We welcome impassioned beer-enthusiasts of any age, aspiring to make a name for themselves in the world of beer, but lacking the proper equipment, space, or funds to make it big. Here they will find the workspace & support to live the dream.

34

{ market goers }

Inevitably, community members making the weekly trek to Findlay Market will stumble upon Root and peek inside. We can expect to see stay-at-home moms, perusing couples and the lovely elderly couple down the street pop in for a brew.

irst and foremost, Root is intended as a project of urban renewal. By awakening the sleeping earth below the concrete jungle of the urban fabric, Root will create an oasis for the OTR community which will supplement the impact and relative success of the gastropub and the social and economic realms that exist therein.

ranslated into the built environment, Root will be initially perceived as a garden space, which upon further exploration, becomes infused with the spirit of the beer garden, and eventually, the actual production of the beer. This progression from natural to mechanical mimics the progression during the brewing process from natural ingredients through the machinery that creates the brew.

Within the larger context of Gardens & Brewery, Root is distinguished by sub-spaces, including the workshop, where actual production occurs, the brewpub, where the beer is consumed, the lounge, an interior beer garden in the complex, and retail, where tasting & sale of merchandise and beer occurs.

Creation rooms are defined as those in which beer or food is created. The open kitchen, brewing room, bottling room and fermentation, cooling, and lagering chambers are included in this category, and are defined by a predominantly cool palate of concrete, whitewash brick, stainless appliances, and glass.

Consumption rooms are defined as those in which beer is consumed. The central bar, taproom, beer gardens, retail, loft, etc. are within this category and are defined by a palate of warm brick, dark woods, slate, blackened steel and copper.

context elder & elm { findlay neighborhood } Located directly across from Findlay Market in Cinicinnati’s Over-the-Rhine Brewery District, portions of buildings 1739, 1737 & 1735 Elm Street will be home to Root Brewery & Gardens. The buildings have entrances from both Elm St. and Campbell St. at the rear. Root will be located directly between one of the primary parking lots for Findlay and the Market itself. For this reason, Root will have immediate exposure to patrons using this lot, as well as the other 800,000 who visit the market annually. The urban context, proximity to the Market and the future streetcar will draw a diverse demographic to this location.

57

{ exterior conditions from campbell st. } 58

existing conditions elder & elm { findlay neighborhood } Built in the Italiante architectural style around 1890, 1735, 1737 & 1739 are characterized by heavy cornices and narrow brick facades.

1735 & 1739 have 4 stories, while 1737 only has 3 & range in height from 30’-43’. What appears to be single long buildings are actually two separate, with an interior courtyard (in reference to 35 & 37). 1739 has an existing vacant lot which will serve as a primary garden space. The buildings are standard brick and mortar construction with solid hardwood joists and iron posts & beams (39). 1737 & 1735 are currently abandoned and 1739 has been recently renovated.

The molding speaks to the Italianate style in which the building was created, and the floors are beautiful original hardwoods with a lot of character. Exposed steel structural systems reveal soaring ceilings and generously-sized of the windows. The basement has exposed bluestone foundation walls.
