A passion for craft beer and supporting community led three North Bay friends to found Gateway City Brewery. Founders Jeff Hodge, Mike Perreault and Sully Sullivan share a deep sense of pride for North Bay and want to see their community grow and flourish. They figured what better way to spread that love for their city than with great tasting, fresh craft beer.

Rounding out the team is John “The Brewer” Palko, a southern Ontario resident who took to the west to learn this craft, earning the head brewer position at Jasper Brewing Co. in picturesque Alberta. John (“JTB”) is eager to share his delicious craft beer recipes with North Bay and all of Ontario.
