Back in the early part of 2012 Grahame Jnr had to make a decision, he had an impending redundancy from the Army after the latest round of the MOD'S cuts. Still only young and in need of a new career he discussed his options with his dad Grahame Snr who had served in the Royal Navy. Both had always had a love for the brewery industry but had always wanted to put their own stamp on it. This was the perfect time and this is where Bosuns Brewery was born. Not only would it be one ticked off the bucket list' but also a viable business opportunity to do something they both loved. The name came from lengthy discussions , father and son, ex Army and Royal Navy. Bosuns Brewery had that instant ring to it which people would come to recognise. Its wasn't long till the wheels were put in motion and the company was registered in November of that year. There was no time to waste and by February of the following year premises were found and equipment was installed for brewing to begin. Late April the first Gyle was brewed aptly named “Maiden Voyage”. The brewery has gone from strength to strength with additional real ales and awards along the way.
