Cisk Tap + The Grist Multipurpose Space

Openworks Studio & Forward Architects

Located in the iconic Farsons Brewery, this project celebrates Malta’s industrial heritage and indeed the distinctive character of Cisk beer, so familiar to many on the Islands. The Cisk Tap and the underlying Grist multi-purpose event space work in synergy in function and reference the colours of the lager in their materiality. The beer counter was placed centrally and dominantly in the space, in allusion to the way in which people gather together to enjoy a Cisk lager.
