West Brewery Round Up

It's safe to say all of the WCB crew who attended the tour of WEST Brewery in Glasgow had a fantastic afternoon (and evening). The staff were friendly and informative and it is, in my opinion,  one of the better brewery tours available in Scotland. 

WCB says thank you first for foremost to Mr Harry Savory for organising this fantastic event, to WEST Brewery for being gracious and informative hosts, and finally to the staff of Maggie May's, Citation, Booly Mardys, Hillhead Bookclub and Bar Soba.

WEST Brewery Live Updates 2

WEST is situated in the old Templeton carpet factory on Glasgow Green, a grade 1 listed building based on a Venetian palace. The bar is styled like a German Beer Hall. 6 years ago, the brewery had one distribution contract - to the WEST Bar. Today the brewery had over 320 distribution contracts. The company has begun construction of a new brewery in Dundas on the old Tennents site, which will triple their output.

West Cost visits WEST Brewery in Glasgow today for some beery shenanigans. We'll be posting live updates of the tour with videos and pictures for those who couldn't make it today!

Love, Howie
