Gananoque Brewing Company

Like any good community-minded entrepreneur, Bruce Davis wanted to develop a business that was challenging, fulfilling, sustainable – and that would contribute in a positive way to the economic growth and diversity of his adopted home of Gananoque.

And with experience on the sales and marketing side of the brewing industry and a healthy appreciation for craft beers, Davis decided a small-scale niche brewery would be a perfect thing to do. So, after a great deal of research, groundwork and assembling a keen, expert team, The Gananoque Brewing Company was born in 2011.
