Kieran Farrell & Dave Lopez
Managing Partners
Kieran and Dave both have very strong ties to the Bronx. Kieran was born in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, and returned to go Manhattan College, while Dave's grandfather played football at Evander Childs HS, Dave's mother grew up in Riverdale, and Dave spent all 13 years of grade and high school in the Bronx.
After spending many years in the corporate world, Kieran and Dave decided it was time to startsomething more in line with their passions. Combining their love for craft beer, desire to create a thriving company, and a need to provide something better to the people, their vision for Gun Hill Brewing co. was born. Both are extremely proud to bring production brewing back to the borough.
