A Taste of the Lake, Born from the Land

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

Meet Jerrianne & Erik Stevens
Veteran-owned and family-grown, Great Sacandaga Brewing Co. began as a passion project in a garage—5 gallons at a time.

Erik, a U.S. Army veteran, found solace and purpose in brewing. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a calling: create clean, intentional beer that actually tasted like something—and meant something too.

Jerrianne, born and raised in the area, brought the vision to life with her background in operations, community organizing, and deep local roots.

Together, they’ve built more than a brewery—they’ve built a legacy.

One that honors Broadalbin’s Scottish heritage.

One that uplifts small farms and local makers.

One that invites everyone—from beer nerds to curious first-timers—to gather, learn, and enjoy.

It’s Not Just What We Brew—It’s Where We Are.


There’s a reason people return to the lake again and again. The water, the woods, the sense of slowing down. We’ve bottled that feeling—and poured it into every experience we create.

  • Live music every week

  • Signature events like the Breadalbane Scottish Games and the GSB Car Show

  • Kayak meetups, Jeep Meets, and family-friendly festivals

  • A growing food scene with local trucks and scratch-made boards

This is your place to connect. Your place to celebrate. Your place to come as you are.

Let’s Raise a Glass to What Matters Most

From grain to glass, we keep it local. From stranger to friend, we keep it real. And from sunrise to last call, we keep it rooted in love for this land and this lake.
