Brewery plans second site in £2m expansion

West, the fledgling specialist brewery, restaurant and beer hall based at Glasgow Green, is set to expand its current beer-making operation and open a second brewery in the city’s East End with an investment of more than £2m, The Herald has learned.

Petra Wetzel, West’s German-born founder and owner, said the expansion was being driven by increased demand for its portfolio of specialist beers, all of which are made to the strict standards of the Reinheitsgebot of 1516, the medieval German beer purity law.
