The recently opened The Bruery in Dunfermline has created a new chapter in Fife’s brewing history and a new venture for David Austin, owner and manager of Reubens Café and Wine Store.
“I wanted to add a local beer to our wine store so contacted brewer, Douglas Ross, for help. It took just six weeks from that initial thought to the first bottle.
“Our Dunfermline Blond Ale is a nod to the town’s medieval brewing history and the name, de Brus, is taken from the ancient family name of Robert the Bruce. The bar gives a face to the product while the beers are brewed in the basement’s micro-brewery,” said David.
“Business Gateway Fife has supported my business improvement plans and helped me secure funding for the micro-brewery. My adviser, Brian, is very helpful and understands what I’m trying to achieve,” explained David.
Brian Blackburn, Business Adviser with Business Gateway Fife added: “David is extremely forward thinking and Reuben’s Café is very successful. We are pleased to support his new venture and look forward to The Bruery becoming an equally popular Fife business.”
The Bruery is located on Canmore Street and boasts a large function room that will host musical, private and corporate events. As well as de Brus beer, they offer ciders, also made on the premises, malts, wines and delicious bar food.
