Founder Andy Hille and crew have spent the two years transforming a former machine shop into a brewery and 90-seat tasting room. The brewhouse features a 15-barrel system and three Missouri oak foeders for future aging projects. Rockwell offers guest taps from 4 Hands Brewing Co., Civil Life Brewing Co. and Oskar Blues Brewing. Customers can also order simple cocktails from the full bar, like a Beermosa or a Manhattan, or sip one of six wines. Nonalcoholic options include Kaldi’s nitro cold brew, Confluence Kombucha, WellBeing Brewing Co. Heavenly Body Wheat and Topo Chico mineral waters. Hille partnered with James Beard award winner Gerard Craft to develop Rockwell’s food menu, inspired by the Cinq à Sept happy hour at Craft’s Brasserie by Niche in the Central West End. Brasswell chef Joe Landis prepares single or double-patty burgers, a classic beer brat and thin-cut crispy fries. Vegetarians can try a house-made veggie burger or an off-menu grilled cheese. Brasserie also lends Brasswell its brunch beignet recipe for a sweet finish, and Landis said the kitchen will soon churn rotating soft-serve flavors.
