Excerpt:

Mere months later, Admiral Maltings has already become a nucleus of a new beer district of sorts, flanked by a couple heavy-hitters: The Rake and Almanac Beer Co.’s Barrel House & Taproom.

The former is more than just physically attached to Admiral Maltings; it’s fully part of it. Having opened in February just before Beer Week, it’s a spacious spot with cork-stoppered test tubes of malt grain on the bar and pictures of Admiral Akbar from Return of the Jedi bedecked with more military decorations than a Latin American dictator, all of it cheek-by-jowl with 1940s-era propaganda about good ol’ American wartime ingenuity.

While it’s quiet by the standards of manufacturing, the menu comes on a stamped attendance record that looks to be of World War 2 vintage, and a “This Department Has Worked __ Days Without a Lost Time Accident” sign mounted high on one wall seems like a joke. At least none of the employees was wearing a cast or a cone of shame.
