New York-based design studio Alda Ly Architecture completes the Talea West Village taproom fueled by history-inspired detailing. The brewery is female and veteran-owned and this marks the company’s third outpost, following two in Brooklyn.
It takes over a building on Christopher Street in Manhattan, which was first built in the 20s. This location embodies a rich heritage having been a space of business and landmarks that are in association with the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Alda Ly Architecture explains that “This new taproom on Christopher Street reclaims the masculine identity of a West Village saloon to celebrate voices of women and LGBTQ+ communities in the Village, all while serving Talea’s popular sour brews in an elevated, vibrant space.”
