Last week at the Society of Independent Brewers - SIBA Business Awards 2026, we were named Brewery Business of the Year - one of the top honours in the UK’s independent brewing industry.

We also picked up a second award on the night, with the UK's Best Independent Taproom, making it a huge one for the team.

The SIBA Business Awards celebrate the very best of independent brewing across the UK - from innovation and sustainability to design, retail and overall business performance - so to come away with these wins means a lot.

It’s a reflection of everything that goes into Fyne Ales - from the brewhouse to the farm, the taproom to the office, and everyone in between.

We’ll raise a glass to that 🍻

✨ BID Member Spotlight: Juno Design Gallery

Tucked along Argyll Street, Juno Design Gallery is one of those shops you can easily lose time in. Step inside and you’ll find a carefully curated mix of artwork, jewellery, crafts and gifts, with a strong focus on pieces made in Scotland.

There’s something for every occasion and every budget. It’s the kind of place you pop into for a quick browse and leave with something you didn’t expect to find.

If you’re in town, it’s well worth a visit. Another great reminder of the independent businesses that make Dunoon what it is.
