Hannah and I enjoying some of BrewDog’s newest experiments
Advanced Beer School: off-flavours
Advanced Beer School: hops
Advanced Beer School: We’re now Certified Beer Geeks!
In the afternoon, we went to Brewdog Glasgow for a couple of drinks and an Advanced Beer School. Megan taught us about off-flavours, hops, food pairing and more.
Morning well spent: Provand’s Lordship, coffee at the Brew Box Coffee TARDIS, an animal mummy exhibition at the Kelvingrove, concluded with a cheese steak sandwich at Roast.

Arrived in Glasgow with a little delay, so we quickly checked into the hostel to shower and change. Headed to the very hot Merchant Chippie for some battered haddock, haggis, and chips.
We needed to cool down after that, so we had a couple of beers at Drygate. We finished the first evening at the DogHouse, BrewDog’s only restaurant at the moment, but luckily just a bar as well. Another BrewDog location to check off our list!
Leaving for Scotland again! We enjoyed traveling by rail so much last time, we decided to take the train again. We’re only using daytime trains this time, and stopping in London just long enough to have lunch in between our connections.
But first, let’s leave, so we can actually catch our train!
Anonymous asked: “I’m Dutch. I went to Glasgow, and visited Stirling. I wasn’t having issues with the inclines on foot. I guess it depends on the person. The Glasgow subway is magic.”
It sure is. Before the recent refurbishment, it was like stepping back into a seventies living room. Waxed brown tiles on the wall, the trickle of water water running between the tracks, yellowing tiles underfoot, as a vibrant garishly orange train lurches to a stop.
Last day in Glasgow. Exactly one year after the Independence Referendum. Lots of people on George Square remembering/celebrating this.
Just enough time to meet some friends over Fyne Ales, and for a last visit to BrewDog Glasgow…
Fallen Brewing Co tap takeover at BrewDog Glasgow yesterday. Surprisingly good ‘pilsner’! But afterwards we returned to the beers from the ‘regular’ guest bottle list anyway.
Had a nice, leisurely day today. Scored a great Barbour jacket for h–na at Mr Ben’s, went to MegaByte for a drink and to play some Street Fighter, we finally managed to get to the Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, and we went to the Glasgow Police Museum.
Apparently they quite like Dutch beers at Blackfriars: not just Heineken — oh, the horror — but Rooie Dop and De Molen as well. We stuck to British beers however. 🙂
