On Tuesday, September 19, 2023, Chamber members converged on Denver’s newest butcher shop, Rugby Scott. Rugby Scott, located in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood, features the highest quality meats and provisions. It is fifth-generation, family-owned and operated.

Glendale Mayor Mike Dunafon was in attendance to cut the brisket at the local shop and Chamber members were treated to some of the best brisket in town. Rugby Scott held its grand opening on September 8, 2023, but this was the first exposure for many Chamber members.

Reviews from the community have been overwhelmingly positive since the store opened. “The owners are both incredibly kind and savants of all things meat,” said Joseph on Facebook. “Come here and you’ll know exactly what you are getting, exactly where it’s coming from, and exactly how it’s made ­— all at very reasonable pricing! This knowledgeable duo puts out an extraordinary product, and I could not recommend it more.”

The story of Rugby Scott begins in 1884, on a rugged homestead in North Dakota where the Tuchscherer family put down roots. This 160-acre piece of land laid the foundation for five generations of cattle ranch­ers. And this burgeoning, not-yet-settled community will become Rugby, North Dakota.

For over a century — in a tradition that continues today — the Tuchscherers raise live­stock and sow crops to feed the family. They slowly expand their ranchland, parcel by parcel and callus by callus. They never waver from their great-great-grandfather’s legacy: to respect the land, leaving nature’s wide-open spaces better than before they worked them; raising animals naturally and humanely; and bringing real, nourishing food to the table.

Rugby Scott is located in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood at 731 South University Blvd. in Denver. Visit www.rugbyscott.com for more details.
