Make your way out beyond Glasgow Green to West Brewery and what you will notice first is the overwhelming scale of the place. It's a former carpet factory, now converted to business centre, with the pub occupying just a small part of the complex. Outside, there's an extensive beer garden which was proving popular on a sunny Friday evening. Head inside for 10 taps of German influenced and keg only beer; the food, equally, is Teutonic for the most part with a variety of wurst on the menu. You'll pay around £6 a pint for the beer, which is very good and the place definitely deserves a visit.

Large brewpub in a converted and very pretty former carpet factory building overlooking the park and a short walk from the (currently closed) People’s Palace. Inside is a very large industrial open space though liberal use of dark wood panelling softens it. Enter to a large bar with a separate glazed area off left whilst to the rear is a large beerhall with the brew kit in situ. Like the reviewer below I was mildly surprised by the lack of reference to the history of the building within. Outside there’s a nice beer garden with views of the greenery. 10 of theirs on keg at the servery and pretty good they were too, the USP is that they stick to the German purity law (not a gimmick, the founder is Teutonic). All rather decent, felt like there was a professional attitude and on a chilly Saturday late morning the place started filling-up nicely.
