Where Glasgow drinks local: brewpubs, taprooms and the new wave.
Taprooms, brewpubs and the local beer scene in Glasgow worth taking a tram to.
Drygate is a craft brewery, bar and kitchen beside Tennent's on Glasgow's east side, with 23 taps, a view into the brewhouse and an upstairs beer hall.
TipThe upstairs beer hall and terrace are more relaxed than the ground-floor brasserie; both look into the brewery.
WEST brews German-style lagers to the Bavarian purity law in the landmark Templeton building on Glasgow Green, a vast beer hall, bar and riverside garden.
TipThe beer garden on Glasgow Green is one of the city's biggest; the St Mungo lager is the flagship pour.
Shilling Brewing Co is a city-centre brewpub in a former bank on West George Street, Glasgow, pouring 30-plus taps of its own beer alongside wood-fired pizza.
TipIt brews on-site in the old bank hall; the pizzas from Roberto the pizzaiolo are the food to order with a flight.
Grunting Growler is a craft-beer bottle shop and taproom on Old Dumbarton Road in Glasgow's West End, stocking 300-plus beers, natural wines and ciders.
TipFill a growler to take away or drink in; the rotating tap list leans hard into Scottish and independent breweries.
Overtone Brewing is one of Glasgow's most prolific modern craft breweries, running from a westside industrial unit and pouring hoppy beers in bars citywide.
TipThere is no full taproom bar, but you can order online and collect cans direct from the brewery shop.
