Airlie Arms, Kirriemuir

Good Beer Guide pub, restaurant and hotel in the centre of the rather pleasant town of Kirriemuir. As you enter the bar is slightly off to your left, with dining areas to the right-hand side and further down on the left-hand side. 2 real ales are available. On my visit, these were both from Loch Lomond - Southern Summit & Lost In Mosaic. Whilst most customers were there for food, drinkers are well catered for and this did feel like a real pub.

An old hotel which stands sideways to the road at the back of the town centre, on the one way system. The whitewashed building is attractive, but once inside it has been modernised in sports bar style. There are two hand pumps on the bar counter, but only one beer on at the time of my visit, a Tuesday afternoon. This was slightly disappointing, as I had seen an advert placed by the pub in the local Camra magazine, so I had been anticipating a more enthusiastic offering. The local MòR brewery's oddly named Tea, Vicar? 3.8% was an equally odd orange colour, but had a well balanced flavour and was in reasonably good condition.
