Two brothers walk into a bar.

It’s true. Before bringing Davidson Brothers Restaurant & Brewery to a 130-year old building in downtown Glens Falls, neither Rick nor John Davidson had ever brewed beer, owned a business, or even worked in a restaurant. Natives of nearby Fort Edward, Rick and John say their business has thrived because they have the best staff and customers anywhere.

Adds John, “Having a great distributor like Saratoga Eagle and a top-notch brewery like Shipyard working with us doesn’t hurt!”

While the draught products are brewed right in Glens Falls, New York, Davidson Brothers Brewing Co. has enjoyed a ten year collaboration with the Shipyard Brewery in Portland, Maine, where the ales are bottled. British Master Brewer Alan Pugsley and partner Fred Forsley share the Davidson Brothers’ commitment to quality ales produced using time tested methods. Shipyard’s 85,000 barrell capacity has allowed Davidson Brothers to bring the successful Sagamore Ale and their famous IPA to market.

 The Davidson Brothers’ goal is simple: To make our community a better place. Many have said that just by founding a brewpub and bringing Davidson Brothers Ales to Glens Falls, they’ve achieved that goal. Rick and John want to do much more, so they’re always active in the North Country community, and particularly in charitable endeavors.
