The Brewhouse A-Frame Communal Table is the long table at the heart of a beer hall: 94½ × 35½ in (240 × 90 cm) of travertine-look sintered stone on two black steel A-frames, seating four a side plus one at each end.
We chose sintered stone for this top because a taproom table spends its life wet. Beer, cider and kombucha are mildly acidic and sugary; sintered stone doesn't absorb them, doesn't etch like marble and doesn't swell like a damaged laminate edge. It also tolerates a hot skillet of mac and cheese from the food truck. The 2 in (5 cm) edge is built up from mitred slab, so it looks like solid stone without the weight.
The A-frames splay out at the floor for a wide, stable stance and sit in from the ends, so guests at the heads still have leg room. A low stretcher ties them together and stops the table racking when a full row leans in. Frames are powder coated and fitted with adjustable glides for brewery floors that slope to a drain.
Longer versions are built in two sections on a concealed steel rail.
