Drygate Brewery, Drygate
The only microbrewery operating in the historic heart of Glasgow, Drygate has become a firm favourite since it opened in 2014. Passionate, knowledgeable staff can help you navigate your way through the varied range of beers, ales and lagers available from their 26 taps. You can even get hands-on and brew your own!

With a slick bar, restaurant and separate bottle shop stocked with an astounding beer collection, DogHouse is one of Glasgow’s coolest venues and a jewel in the crown of the Brewdog bar collection.

West Brewery, Templeton Building, Glasgow Green
Boasting a great location in Glasgow Green, WEST beers are brewed in strict accordance with the 1516 Reinheitsgebot, the ancient German Purity Law which allows only malted barley, hops, yeast and water to be used in the brewing process ensuring an authentic, clean taste experience.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
