To re-quote the reviewer below, this is a completely unexpected haven from the outside world that is well worth visiting (if you can find it). A lovely place in an old outbuilding, made to feel traditional inside and nicely laid-out with some eclectic touches. Items of note included a log burner, hundreds of old bottles above the bar, various breweriana, a carved wood bear and a selection of board games. As the Allanwater (formerly Tinpot) brewery tap it was no surprise to see five of their cask available; my 90/- was fag-end (NBSS 2) but the Green Hop was much better (3.5); this place was GBG’23 listed but has dropped out of the 2024 edition. If I recall, there was also some cider to be had. We partook of the pizza menu with the bear looking on like it was begging for a slice and were quite satisfied with our chow. A nice stop and worth getting the train up from Stirling to try.

Completely unexpected haven from the outside world that is well worth visiting (if you can find it). Tucked away in an old outbuilding behind a hotel, the door marked 'visitor centre' leads in to an incredibly cosy and eclectically furnished bar with a splendid range of handpumps. Beer bottles and other paraphernalia cover the walls, with a bottled beer shop and the brewery itself through the back. The beer itself covers a wide range of styles and flavours, so probably something for all tastes, and samples are free. Regular live music too.

The complete package in one place consists of a pub, a brewery, a shop, various events, tours and a visitor centre. Check out http://bridgeofallan.co.uk/ before visiting and pre booking of the tours. There is parking in front of the brewery.
