THE BREWERY
Ganaraska Brewing Company is located in the historic town of Port Hope, Ontario, within Northumberland County. Our brewery is situated right alongside the Ganaraska River, a stone’s throw away from Lake Ontario.
Working with local architect Reno Piccini, we wanted to build a structure that fits in with the look and feel of heritage Port Hope. We are so happy with the final product and people around town have taken notice. It’s probably the rooftop patio overlooking the town, river, and great lake. We know that constructing a beautiful-looking brewery is only the beginning, and we have to back it up with a product that reflects its beautiful, refreshing surroundings. After all, it’s all about the BEER!

Piccini Architect PORT HOPE Read More
With all of his architectural experience, Reno Piccini was such an essential partner in our development and completion of the Brewery. He knew exactly how to make the structure feel like authentic Port Hope. It’s almost as if the brewery has always been part of the town.
Every decision, big or little, was handled with professionalism and care. Reno has crafted a structure that he can truly be proud of, and will be a landmark in Port Hope for many years to come.
Dalren General Contractor COBURG Read More
Dalren was a pleasure to work with from day one. Every construction day was efficiently laid out, and they kept to the schedule all the way through the build, despite many hurdles and restrictions that they had to deal with in the current climate.
Site Manager Kevin Clement and Project Manager Paul Kelly took the project on as if it were their own. From extremely long days to managing the many different subcontractors… we’re extremely grateful for all of the hard work and outcome of the project.
And many thanks to all of the local contractors who worked with Dalren to make it such a success.
If there were ever a Ganny Brewery #2, we know who we’re gonna call…
At SignsCOBURG Read More
Kevin was great to work with, and the signs you see hanging around the building have all been crafted and installed by him. You can’t miss the sign on the rooftop patio; it really ties everything together.
Shawn Burnside WoodworkingPORT HOPE Read More
Come and see the finely crafted taproom bar and surrounding cabinets… as well as the rooftop lookout bar that was all designed, built, shaped, and installed by Sean. He knew exactly what we wanted, and when you sit down at either bar, you can see the effort that went into these unique and original areas to dispense our beer.
Sean also installed the beautiful blackboard that we display our beer menu on. So, you really can’t avoid seeing his influence on our brewery.

If you have been in almost any brewery in the last few years there is a good chance that you have seen Rob’s impressive work. He has helped us every step of the way from the conception of The Ganaraska Brewing Company, and without Rob we probably wouldn’t be where we are now. He always looks out for your best interests and is an all-around great person. We look forward to continuing to work with Rob and his team in the future.
