Alexander Thomson was also a maltster and baker, and ran a brewery and bakehouse in Burnside. He was declared bankrupt in 1831 and following the sequestration of his estates the brewery was offered for sale several times. He died in 1837 at the age of 52 by which time he was in partnership with his son James, trading as Thomson and Son.

Thomson's Brewery was probably established in the 1810s, and was offered for sale several times after Alexander Thomson was declared bankrupt. In 1832 it was described as having cost upwards of £3,500 but was offered at £1,500 for the brewery, dwelling-house, malt barn and utensils, and £320 for the associated bakehouse and stables.
