The Beginning

Groove Brewing started in 2020 with the simple goal of bringing a  microbrewery to Scranton. With over 25 years of brewing experience, Brewmaster Ed Generose is the brains of the operation. As a certified BJCP Judge, brewery world traveler, and comprehensive beer nerd, Ed was made for this.

Co-owners Joe and Shannon Bonacci’s mission for the brewery is to promote the redevelopment and prosperity of Scranton, its people, and to introduce Northeast PA to craft beer culture. 

With a lot of help from friends, we opened a small operation in March of 2020. In January of 2023 we expanded our operations from a 1BBL “nano” brewery located in a former dental office to a 5 BBL brewery a few blocks away from the original location. We now have garage doors, an upper and lower tap room, and a separate space for private events. We enjoy being a neighborhood brewery that patrons can walk or bike to! We are located in an underrated section of Scranton that is beaming with promise and character. ​When we aren’t at our day jobs, we are thinking about how to make this place better.

We hope you like our work and enjoy our beer, cheers!
