Some recent history
The Davis family teamed with Great South Bay Brewery Founder Rick Sobotka, a practicing anesthesiologist, in 2016.
Before that, in 2012, the family had sold its aerospace company in Bay Shore. That company’s headquarters, a 40,000-square-foot industrial building at 25 Drexel Drive, would later become home to Great South Bay Brewery.
Since becoming majority owners (it was originally a 50/50 deal) the family members knew they wanted to grow the brand. Now it’s finally time.
“It took a little while to get there, but we feel super comfortable now and are really excited,” said Chris Davis. “We’re not done after these two. We’re looking to continue to expand the Great South Brewery name, and bring as much beer and smiles to people as we can.” More GSB Great South Bay is also opening a casual restaurant and tasting room at the Station Yards development in Ronkonkoma. They just got the keys to the location and expect to begin work later this month.
