1. History of Brewing in Syracuse. In 1858, English immigrants John and George Greenway established the Greenway Brewery in Syracuse. It brewed English-style ales and quickly became Syracuse’s largest brewery. By 1890, Greenway Brewery, which occupied an entire city block along the Erie Canal, was the largest brewery outside of New York City. It exported beer as far away as Europe, Australia and Asia.
