HISTORY

Before opening as Central Machine Works Brewery in 2019, 4824 E. Cesar Chavez was home to a custom metal fabrication shop that began producing airplane parts during World War II in 1940. The facility continued fabricating custom metal components for decades, operating until its closure in 2016.

Today, the space honors its industrial roots—original machine parts and historic details remain throughout, preserving the legacy of the building and its place in Austin’s East Side history.
