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’.

At the West Brew Pub, Glasgow. Gold, thin off white head. It’s a lager, not that good really. No off flavours, but no great character either.

At the West Brew Pub, Glasgow. Advertised as the Amber Hefe, but it couldn’t have been due to the colour. Tom confirmed with the guy behind the bar, that it was the regular Weizen. It’s a hazy pale gold, with thin white head. Some banana, little bit thin in mouth, malt/cereal isn’t great. Some lemon. Really just a bit light in the flavours.

Tap@brew pub, "West Hefeweizen". Hazy bright yellow-orange, small creamy white head. Very light dark fruity, malty nose. Crisp, wheaty, more on bitter lemon side than banana sweetness. Medium-bodied, roasted banana flavors pop up in the finish.

Tap@brewpub. Alc. 4.9%. (at restaurant name for this beer was claimed to be "West Fest"). From white clay mug, you can’t see much how it looks like. Dark honey colored, decent white head. Very bready malty aroma. Malty, barley tasting beer. Very hand crafted helles, maybe not it’s prime yet (made "too quickly"), but good thirst-quencher.
