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.

Innis & Gunn Beer isn't the best on the planet but I remember liking their Edinburgh taproom well enough. This taproom, near Hillhead subway Station and the Hunterian museum, is grubby and well-attended with a small bar in the back. It isn't so exciting with six Innis & Gunn beers (I think I'd had them all) with seven guests, mostly easily available but two Ossiansand a Campervan make up for that. Another 'can be missed' but completionists may wish to try it out.

Arts centre bar converted from a church. A couple of cask ales plus various basic keg such as Drygate's Kelvin. A number of whiskies are avilable so worth checking to see with your own eyes as the menu is far from accurate. Not a bad place to hang for a short while but can be missed, especially from a beer perspective.

Draught keg at Òran Mór, Glasgow. Light to mid-gold, clear with a small uneven film of white head. Clean grainy, malty aroma, decent if uninteresting.Taste is grain, some metal. Sweet without being saccharin and a bit rounded at the end. Lighter body with heavy-ish carbonation. Not bad but pretty basic.

Keg at the Imperial, Glasgow. Slightly ruddy light to mid-brown, clear with a film of off-white head. Light malty aroma. Not much there. Taste is decent although muted: sweet at first with a stewed tea bitterness in the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not great but enjoyable enough for what it is.

Belhaven pub tucked away to the south east of St Enoch centre, just north of the Clyde. Claims to be Glasgow's oldest pub from 1792. Olde wordle inside with a large U bar and a small snug to the right. Lots of live music. The beer list isn't great, with a couple of Loch Lomond on cask and a couple of West on keg. The rst is macro. Small whisky selection with some good 'uns hidden away a bit. Lots of bars like this in Glasgow: worth checking out for atmosphere but you won't get many ticks. Over 18s only.
