The Picaroons brewery purchased the former Gibson Roundhouse from the City of Fredericton for $100, transforming it into a brewery and community space. The building, a recognized historic site dating back to 1885, had fallen vacant following its use as an automotive repair service centre. Facing outward to the Saint John River, this space offers an exceptional third space – a space between home and work – for community members to gather.
