Photos: Here’s How Lafayette’s Future Western Flyer Brewing is Looking Today

LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA – Here at the Bay Area Telegraph, we’re super excited for the debut of Western Flyer Brewing at the new Brant development right in downtown Lafayette.

Western Flyer had originally planned to open in late 2025. That timing has arrived, and it seems like there’s still work to be done.

The brewery hasn’t released an update yet, but we stopped by to see how the building is coming along. (All photos are by Bay Area Telegraph).

Western Flyer took delivery of their building 35 weeks ago, and they’ve been hard at work outfitting it as a full brewery.

The patio is still under construction, but firepits are going in.

Peeking through the windows, we saw big stainless steel tanks. We’re not sure if they’re actively brewing yet, but all the machinery seems to be falling into place.

A deck chair inside hints at long hours spent attending to the tanks!
