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’.

On tap at the brewpub. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Soft and pleasant mouthfeel. Moderately malty aroma and flavour with some butterscotch. A drinkable helles, but no masterpiece.

On tap at the brewpub. Served ice cold. Very dark ruby colour, nearly black. Low off-white head. Moderate and slightly roasty aroma. Moderately roasty flavour, notes of brown bread, not sweet, low bitterness. OKish, but not very exciting at all.

Draught at the brewpub. Deep golden, almost no head. Sweet and buttery, medium bodied with unploished mushy mouthfeel. There are some light grassy hops, but with it’s dull, clean malt profile it does not live up to my expectations.

Draught at the brewpub. Dark brown, small head. Aroma of tobacco and ,olasses. Sweet and a bit thin with clean mouthfeel. Finishes with low bitterness. A primitive, lifeless attempt at a dunkel.

Draught at the brewpub and at Blackfriars, Glasgow. Cloudy yellow. Evident banana aroma. with a twist of lemon. Medium sweet with a tad thin mouthfeel, but a very authentic yeast induced clove/banana flavour. Mustardy finish.

On tap at Blackfriars, Glasgow, as "West End Hefeweizen", according to my notes. Cloudy pale golden colour. Typical hefeweizen aroma of cloves, but with some strange sidenotes of rotting vegetables. Citrussy flavour, notes of cloves, thin mouthfeel. Not a very successful hefeweizen in my book.
