The brewer also has a large facility in Tulsa and joins Frenzy Brewing Company as downtown Edmond continues to evolve with dozens of shops, restaurants and bars. The Silos, a 273-unit apartment complex with an integrated parking structure, is under construction nearby (in the background of the drone photo).

American Solera has a large space on the west side of the u-shaped Icehouse complex. Along with a big taproom with an l-shaped bar, there is also a large covered patio area and the entire Icehouse courtyard.

Woodward Pizza and the Fried Taco are already operating in the complex and a creamery/bakery/coffee shop is under construction in the center section.

Hours ar Monday through Thursday 4 to 9 PM; Friday and Saturday noon to 10 PM and Sunday noon to 6 PM.

The Icehouse Project was designed by AHMM Architects and the contractor is Modus Construction.

I stopped by on Saturday and from everyone I spoke to they had a very good Friday and were on pace to continue that on Saturday. Everything was very smoothly in order, no long waits and the staff knew their product. The space is really nice, very welcoming. We ordered Fried Taco's and AS said they'd take the tray's back over for us after we were done, very nice to see them blending in from the start.

This taproom is really well done, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their brews and we like the idea of taking the beer out into the courtyard. This is a pretty nifty development.

I’ve been 2 times and enjoyed it. However, they really need to expand the hours …9 on week days and 10 on weekends is ridiculous closing times for a brewery/taproom.
