Bomber Brewing
In an inspiring tale of resilience and renewal, Bomber Brewing, founded by Don Farion in 2014, has come full circle as Farion repurchased the brewery in October 2024, following periods of corporate ownership and market challenges. After surviving his own battle with cancer, Farion is steering Bomber back to its community-focused roots with a renewed emphasis on balanced, quality brewing and local connections. The story of Bomber Brewing exemplifies the enduring spirit of craft beer culture, demonstrating how passion, community ties, and a return to fundamentals can revitalize a neighbourhood brewery.
The brewery is situated on the popular Union-Adanac bikeway, meaning its tasting room is a popular spot for another active demographic: The bike racks outside are often full and many cyclists make use of the free air pump before stepping inside for a glass or a growler fill.
