Drygate

Glasgow


Dwarfed by the lager megabrewery Tennents next door, Drygate is a proud craft brewery that makes a tempting East End pit stop. You can watch the beer being made on the factory floor as you sip one of two dozen on tap in the likeably convivial, industrially fitted interior or hit the excellent terrace. Burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips and more provide ballast.
