Description
It all started in 1996 when Douglas Ross sold his business, put his love of brewing into practice and founded the Allanwater Brewhouse. Since then he has gone from strength to strength in perfecting recipes that not only keep the most expert of ale lovers happy, but also the drinkers who are new to the joys of craft beer.

First brewed in Spring 2010 using the name Tin Pot Brewery. In 2014, the name was changed to Wash House Brewery and again in 2018 the name changed to its current one.

Cask at Allanwater Brewhouse, Bridge Of Allan, behind the main street in the town. Mahogany coloured with a creamy head. Very light stout character, and there's a bitterness involved in this one, Crisp and fresh, it's brewed with eight different malts and you can taste plenty of them

Cask at Allanwater Brewhouse, Bridge Of Allan, before the walk back next to Stirling along the river. Tawny golden with a head. More caramels than the 80 as this one followed that for me. Has a bitterness to this one too.
