440ml can at the Allison Arms, Glasgow. Dark, almost black, almost opaque. Coffee, treacle, Marmite on the nose. Taste is sweet with syrupy coffee and a bitvof 9ak. A bit artificial but still very nice. Coffee grounds bitterness in the finish. Excellent stuff.

Draught keg at the Koelschip Yard, Glasgow. Light yellow gold and clear with a small foamy white head and a fair bit of lacing. Grainy Jones, some lemon and a touch of brett. Very balanced taste with the sugary sweetness being kept in check. Wonderful attenuation. Dry finish with gentle notes of lime in the aftertaste. Light to medium body, fairly heavily carbonated. Damn.

Incredible beer bar on Pollokshaw Road South of Glasgow centre. Take one of the short and frequent buses that'll land you here. On the outside its just another of the many pubs lining the street, but ho in and you'll find a veritable beer haven. It's called Koelschip Yard for a reason - there are loads of lambics and other wild beers - but there's also a draught and can/bottle lost awash with other styles. The beer isn't cheap because its the highest quality stuff. A fantastic place that cannot be missed!

Lambic in a box from Koelschip Yard, Glasgow. Vinous purple red and a little clear with almost no head. Tart with notes of red wine and balsamic vinegar. Sour taste with a big grape sweetness. Slightly more funk in the finish. Light body with no carbonation. A joy to try.

Draught from BrewDog Glasgow. Light to mid-gold and hazy with an uneven white head. Satsuma, some tropical fruit, a little dank on the nose. Clean taste, sweet but never overly so followed by an insistent but gentle bitterness. Light-ish body with very little carbonation. This is very good all in all.

Draught from BrewDog Glasgow. Dark and murky gold, hazy with a small uneven white head. Dank aoma dominated by pineapple, with some tangerine and vanilla malt. Sweet with vo siderable malt character before a serious bitterness ensues. Notes of canned pineapple and weed in rhe finish. Medium body, low carbonation. Very good.

Handpull cask at the Three Judges, Glasgow. Light gold and clear with a small off-white head. Grassy aroma, some light citrus and stone fruit. Sweet taste, some marmalade notes, more grassy character. Then some bitterness right at the finish. Not a great beer but enough character to enjoy it.

This pub, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with that ubiquitous shite lager. It's a decent and unassuming sports pub. Watching Ross County v Hamilton. The beer, well kudos for choice of seven cask beers but they are mostly nationals (London Pride and such), but there's one each from Gipsy Hill and Stewart so not all is lost. A few decent whiskies available. Honestly it's not a beer ticker's pub but I liked it.

Handpull cask at Tennent's, Byres Road, Glasgow. Golden amber and clear with a small even off-white head. Flowery, perfumed Hop aroma. Sweet taste with more floral hop but then there's an intensely unlikeable bitterness, astringent and uncompromising, throughout most of the sip. Light to medium body, almost no carbonation. Not great.
