Description
Established in 1992, Devon Ales is situated at the Mansfield Arms, Sauchie on Alloa’s outskirts. The Mansfield Arms is a family owned and run local hostelry that has seen over the last twenty years four generations of the Gibson family working in a public bar which is soaked in atmosphere and can be classed as a true Scottish working man's bar steeped in character and tradition where both the “patter” and ale flow in ample supply.
