Big Ugly Brewing Company

On April 15th, as part of Architecture Week the AIA held a Tap Into Design event at Big Ugly Brewing in Chesapeake.  Around 40 members of the local architecture community converged on the brewery to listen to Jim Lantry and Tom Barton.  Jim discussed the brewery and its design aesthetic of using classic motorcycles and cars to bring a garage feel to the place and Tom Barton talked about the restoration of his Ford Galaxy 500, including a Mustang engine and dash swap and body work and electrics throughout the car.  Good brew and a fun discussion was had by all.
