The new brewery is the brainchild of Duncan Alexander and Mark Griffiths. The former has spent the last five years running a community microbrewery in Edinburgh.

A 7,200sqft industrial warehouse will house the 2,400l-capacity facility that has been made possible due to funding from Scottish Enterprise, Regional Selective Assistance and The Scottish Investment Bank, as well as private investment.

Fit-out works on the site are expected to commence this month, while the brewery is due to be fully operational in October.

Overseeing the installation of the brewery is brewing consultant, David Smith, a brewing consultant and former head brewer at Samuel Smiths of Tadcaster, is overseeing installation of the brewery.

Co-founder Duncan Alexander explained: “There’s something in the water here that was justification enough for us to establish a brewery in Dundee, beyond the fact that I’m a very proud Dundonian and wanted the city to contribute to this great new beer revolution that is sweeping the country.”
