Sergeant Wilson Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I was at The West Brewery tour last night. Tour is short, but quite entertaining. The beers are a bit bland I think, Wild West and the stout were the best by quite a way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beers are a bit bland I think, Wild West and the stout were the best by quite a way. Yep, pretty much agree with all of that. I liked the short tour though; I'm only so interested in the processes. I like their beer too, was really glad when they they didn't go bust (and are now doing well)... but I was really pleased when we left to go to Drygate, where the beer and food is about 100x better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like their Munich Red though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Had an excellent day out at the Steampacket Inn on Saturday. Amongst others had Kelburn Jaguar, Five Kingdoms Capt. Morrison's IPA and their Stout, which was 6.9% and was so utterly fucking magnificent that it led to me buying a four pint jug of it for the bus home. And horsing the lot. Sair heid Sunday..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Glasgow Real Ale Festival is on from today to Saturday inclusive.[/size]http://www.glasgowrealalefestival.co.uk/ Spent a couple of hours at this yesterday with two of my sons. Lots of half pints of previously untried beers, some good, some not so. I'd never heard of Clockwork brewery in Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had seen that one morning before work and was intrigued by it. The fact it was over £5 a bottle though was a bit distressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Was at Shilling Brewing Company in West George Street in Glasgow tonight. Had been at the Japanese place across the street for food and saw that it had opened. Lovely stuff called Ten Storey Malt Bomb by Alchemy Brewery in Livingston. Like an old fashioned heavy/80 shilling with a slightly more modern hop kick. Lovely murky stuff - see the picture Also tried Black Star Teleporter from the Shilling folks themselves. Nice smooth porter with hints of coconut. Perhaps a bit trendy (i.e. everyone wandering around in skinny jeans and cravats and those incomplete haircuts that were last in fashion in around 1992) but both beers were very tasty and they had an interesting selection that I want to try more of in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there about the back of four. Had the Glasgow Red and the Telekom before I had to move on. Both good and I'll be back for more soon. Nice place as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly making a return and going through the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Gave The Hippo Taprooms a go on Friday night. Beer menu is very expensive but guest casks are averagely priced and had some nice stuff. Recommended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Bought some of this yesterday, been trying to source it for ages after having it on draft in the Guildford arms nearly two years ago. Lovely stuff, very nice aftertaste. I also had a nice pint of "silkie stout" in the Guildford arms yesterday. Very drinkable, Although at £3.90 a pint, one was enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Squad assembled (courtesy of The Cave and Valhalla's Goat at Kelvinbridge) for the UFC/NXT (depending on whether I find a stream) and Summerslam the morn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty meadow Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Morrisons are doing a wee Beer Festival at the moment. Probably about 30 different bottles all at £1.50 each. Bought a half dozen today including a rhubarb saison, a raspberry blonde and a sticky toffee pudding ale. Also bought a box of 6 different Wychwood beers for £7 in the same shop. I think Aldi's latest festival starts this Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
