Glasgow Red
Glasgow Red is a 4.4% red ale that leans further into bitterness than the style usually does. Candied plum shows on the nose, followed by toffee and caramel from the malt. A blend of Old and New World hops then takes over: a firm hop bitterness cuts through the sugary malt and leaves a finish that is bitter-sweet instead of soft. It has been part of the house range since the Glasgow brewpub opened in 2016.
