Over the course of several months a building that once housed an antique shop was transformed and in December of 2017 the doors of K2 Bros Brewing opened for the first time.

Word quickly spread about the quality and unique flavor combinations being created at K2 and business became progressively busier as time went on. It was becoming rapidly clear that this little family owned and operated craft brewery was poised for growth. As more staff was added and business grew, The Kennedy Brothers made the conscious decision to reinvest as much as possible into the business of K2 Bros Brewing. This strategy allowed the beer garden to evolve from a fun and cozy backyard setting to one of the premier outdoor venues in the Western New York Beer community.

K2 also made it a priority to focus on improving and expanding the brewing process by adding additional equipment such as larger fermentation tanks, a centrifuge, our own canning and bottling line and many other small items to solidify the high quality and consistency that allowed K2 to begin distribution to other bars, pubs and retail stores.

Everything was growing rapidly and suddenly, the whole world was rocked by the Covid 19 pandemic. Never one to panic or focus on the problems, K2 immediately pivoted and became an online beer shop in less than 24 hours. Over the course of the various stages of the pandemic there were several rules and regulations that were created. Thankfully, K2 successfully navigated those challenges and evolved our service model from truly pub style food and drinks to a hybrid model able to accommodate large parties, small groups, full restaurant style table service and more casual “self service” dining options.

K2 is very proud and fortunate to have grown during the pandemic and did not lay off a single employee.
