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’.

Can from Beer52 entitled 'gpa'. New brewery for me. Pours a clear gold with moderate sized white head, decent retention. Aroma is grassy, some floral notes, cracker like malts. Taste starts fairly sweet with malts at the forefront, cracker, bread, squeeze of lemon, grassy and floral hops, moderately bitter with toasted notes coming through. Good lager to be fair, its got a bit of flavour to it, no off notes.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Golden clear coloured brew with sweet hoppy bitternesh. Glasgow meets Bremen or Hamburg, but surely something Northern Germany.
