BY SARAH BARONOWSKI

This morning's fire at Murray's Brewery along Nelson's Bay Road has reportedly caused some damage to the business's cellar door and kitchen area.

The brewery itself, however, is in a different building and has been completely unaffected.

General Manager Jane Clack says it is still too early to say too much.

"The most important thing is that nobody was injured and the fire is under control.

"The brewing of our beer and the wholesale side of our business continues to operate as normal."

She says more information will arrive later on today.

"When our wonderful local police and and fire service have finished the work they need to do, we will have access to our property and update everybody later on today.

"Our focus is to reopen for trade as soon as possible."
