Where to drink · GLASGOW
The 4 best glasgow drinks tours you can book today, with what each one pours, how long it runs and what it costs a head. Number one is top for a reason; start there.
Spend about 90 minutes at Wellpark Brewery with a guide such as Tony or Calum, tracing Tennent’s story from 1556 to today, exploring brewing and advertising displays, then drinking a pint of unpasteurised Tennent’s Tank Lager drawn from the copper tanks.
“Tennent’s was lovely. Viator sucks. Was a solo on an outlander tour the day before. Was charged for 3 people. Denied reimbursement! Horrible customer service!!!”
Spend one hour at Clydeside Distillery with guides such as Nina, Linzi, or Madeleine. Explore the 1877 Old Pumphouse, watch the whisky-making process, admire River Clyde views, and taste three Clydeside drams. You keep the small tasting glass, and non-drinkers can take samples home.
“Loved learning about the history of Clydeside Distillery and tasting their whiskies! Really engaging and humorous tour, absolutely would recommend!”
Ride Glasgow aboard a restored red Routemaster while enjoying sandwiches, scones, cakes, quiches, tea, coffee, and prosecco. Add a gin cocktail served in a teapot. Hosts such as Helen, Nicky, George, and Jim keep the mood lively with music, jokes, and singalongs, while landmarks pass outside.
“What a brilliant time! Our host Helen was absolutely fantastic and driver George was amazing.Great food,great atmosphere and everyone up for a laugh and great time.Highly recommend! Get your singing voices at the ready!! 😃”
At Wellpark Brewery, an English-speaking guide such as Tony, Callum, or Laura leads you through Tennent’s history and brewing process. Expect the Heritage Centre, vintage packaging, classic adverts, more than 100 stairs, and a free pint in the brewery bar.
“Absolutely fantastic. I was born in Dennistoun as was my family and it was great to hear about how the factory came to be and how it evolved over the years. My father lived at the corner of Duke St and John Knox St and we all attended Trinity church across the road. My Uncle told me that my grandfather remembered young Hugh coming back from Bavaria and bringing the German beer makers back to Glasgow. My great grandfather unfortunately fell off the brewery wall. I have told my family about the tour and how it tied our family history together. The brewery was definitely a central point in Wellpark”
