Description
Situated in Larbert, Tryst Brewery has been producing quality ales since 2003. John McGarva, owner and head brewer, is always focusing on adding new twists to traditional recipes to create unique takes on classic ales. All of our brews are made with Scottish malt from Mungoswells in East Lothian with additions from Bairds Malt to add depth of colour and flavour. To keep our beers evolving we use hops from all over the globe allowing for a broad range of tastes and aromas.

We are committed to doing our part for the environment at the brewery. Our used malt goes to some local farms for use in agriculture. We also use our spent hops for composting, which helps enrich our small garden, where we attempt to grow some classic British hop varieties such as Fuggle and Target.

Closed because of retirement.

500ml bottle from the Scottish Real Ale Shop, Best Before - 02/22. Pours clear golden with a tiny white head. Aromas & tastes of flora, lemon, grass & biscuit. Light body. Under carbonated. Slightly sweet finish. Very underwhelming, expect so much more, just bland & barely drinkable

Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Clear dark brownish body, dotted spots on the glassware, covering off-white head. Inviting smell of choco-caramel. Similar taste of caramel and chocolate, hints of ripe citrus fruit in the background. Slightly roasted malty tail, mid-sweet. Quite pleasant to drink. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).
