Craft brewery's on-site bar serving its own ales in a lively and laid-back industrial venue.
The only Microbrewery operating in the historic heart of Glasgow, Drygate has been brewing with Open Doors and Open Minds for three years, mashing in for the first time in 2014.
Operating across our state of the art bespoke 24Hl Brewhouse + 250L Studio Brewery, our brewing team share a passion for great beer. Housed in a converted box factory under the iconic Seven Peaks of the roof, our building reflects on Glasgow’s industrial past while the experiential brewery inside invites visitors on a journey of brewing and discovery.
85 Drygate was built in 1964, originally as a box assembly and screenprinting factory, using brick, steel and concrete. The design concentrates on existing eccentricities of the building, bearing traces of all its previous incarnations: box factory, print works, bottling plant and storage unit.
The original structure and details of the building have been preserved including the restoration of the original Seven Peaks of the sawtooth roof, exposed brick walls displayed behind newly installed panes of glass and the preservation of paint marks on the concrete floor, celebrating traces of the building’s functional heritage.
