Description
Our quest for truly great Scottish beer started in 2006 when our brewpub was opened. Ever since then, we have been brewing the finest artisan lagers and wheat beers in the UK. We brew all of our beers in strict accordance with the Reinheitsgebot, the German Purity Law of 1516, which we believe is simply the best way to make great beer.

WEST, under the leadership of Bavarian-born Petra Wetzel, is the only UK brewery to officially adhere to the Reinheitsgebot, merging centuries of traditional practice with state-of-the-art equipment. Our German roots are firmly planted in Glasgow and our company ethos can best be summed up as ‘Glaswegian Heart. German Head’.

Dark brown beer, head disappears into a ring ad nowt else. Toasted malt aroma. Taste is malt and a dash of and caramel and a little chocolate but there's not a lot else going on. Fine though.

Bottle picked at Aldi Inverurie. It pours deep brown with a small off-white head. The aroma is malt - driven, earthy roasted, toasted nut, cereal, brown bread, malt loaf, bit of spice and burnt toffee. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, earthy roast, malt loaf, toasty grain, bit of dark fruits, some spice, rivita, cereal and toasted nut with a drying and spiced finish. Average body and moderate to high carbonation. Decent for the style.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Clear brown body with ruby highlights and a thin beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of rust, milk chocolate and nutty malt. Flavour of tea and wood. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Subtle and easy to drink.

Keg at Jake’s Place. Clear mahogany body with a thin off-white head that gradually fades. Light carbonation and lacing. Aroma of ash, plum, raisin, roasted malt. Flavour is plum, toast and wood. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Lively carbonation fizz. A really interesting beer, one of the best West I’ve tried. It’s a bit light on the mouthfeel, though.
