Stevenson Visits New Fraserburgh Brewery

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has today (Friday) visited Fraserburgh brewery, Brew Dog. Mr. Stevenson was invited to visit the recently opened brewery by owners/directors Martin Dickie and James Watt to view the facilities and discuss various issues of interest to the new business.

Brew Dog is an independent brewing company established by Mr. Dickie (24) and Mr. Watt (25) in April 2007. The company produces natural beers with no additives or preservatives and were runners up in the recent Shell Scotland Livewire Awards for Young Entrepreneurs.

Commenting after the visit Mr. Stevenson said;

“I was delighted to get the opportunity to visit this excellent local business. It is fantastic to see an innovative new business with such potential for success setting up in our local town of Fraserburgh. As local MSP I have always strongly supported small and medium size businesses in Banff & Buchan such as Brew Dog for the benefit of the local economy.

“I was highly impressed by the brewery’s facilities and their top quality produce. Indeed as I was not driving on this occasion I had the pleasure of sampling the freshly brewed beers which are made from only natural ingredients and can attest to their superior standard.

“The entrepreneurship shown by Brew Dog’s two young directors is extremely commendable and sets an excellent example to other young people in the area. I wish them every success with their new business.”
