Gate City Brewing Company

GATE CITY IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ROSWELL, GEORGIA

Gate City’s two-story space is anchored in the heart of Historic Roswell. At the corner of Canton and Magnolia Streets, what used to be two Roswell mechanic shops is now a 30bbl brewhouse and 3,000 sqft taproom with up to twenty house-brewed beers on draft. Stop in each weekend for live music, taproom exclusive beers, 6-pack tastings to-go, community-based events and an overall good time—where the history of our growing city meets the future of craft beer culture.

THE FOUNDERS: PAT RAINS & BRIAN BORNGESSER

Brian Borngesser and Pat Rains met in a Roswell Rotary Club meeting roughly ten years back. The two connected over common interests in home brewing and serving their local community. As the duo made beer, the beer made friends, and two future flagships were born: Copperhead Amber in Pat’s garage, and 1864 IPA in Brian’s.  In 2012 the vision for Roswell’s first craft brewery evolved into a business plan, and in 2015 the business plan evolved into Gate City Brewing Company—a local venture still as dedicated to community as the pair who met a decade ago.
