Granite Coast Brewing Company

Granite Coast Brewing Company is the culmination of a long thought-out goal made many years ago by best friends Jeff Marquis and Rob Dunn. The guys have been friends since meeting in middle school and share a fondness for gaming, traveling, and sampling beer. The idea of one day opening a brewery originated while traveling and over many nights playing cards. As Rob moved all around the country, Jeff had many opportunities to visit him and sample great beer. Once Rob moved back to the North Shore, the guys started brewing in his kitchen. Slowly, they kept upgrading equipment until the brewing equipment overtook the kitchen. They next looked towards Jeff’s house, where they set up to brew in his garage. After some light construction and more equipment upgrades, the guys had a 1 barrel brew house in an unheated, unplumbed garage. After digging a three-foot deep trench from the house to the garage, power arrived at the pilot brewery.
