Make your way out beyond Glasgow Green to West Brewery and what you will notice first is the overwhelming scale of the place. It's a former carpet factory, now converted to business centre, with the pub occupying just a small part of the complex. Outside, there's an extensive beer garden which was proving popular on a sunny Friday evening.

Head inside for 10 taps of German influenced and keg only beer; the food, equally, is Teutonic for the most part with a variety of wurst on the menu.

You'll pay around £6 a pint for the beer, which is very good and the place definitely deserves a visit.

Large brewpub in a converted and very pretty former carpet factory building overlooking the park and a short walk from the (currently closed) People’s Palace. Inside is a very large industrial open space though liberal use of dark wood panelling softens it. Enter to a large bar with a separate glazed area off left whilst to the rear is a large beerhall with the brew kit in situ. Like the reviewer below I was mildly surprised by the lack of reference to the history of the building within. Outside there’s a nice beer garden with views of the greenery. 10 of theirs on keg at the servery and pretty good they were too, the USP is that they stick to the German purity law (not a gimmick, the founder is Teutonic). All rather decent, felt like there was a professional attitude and on a chilly Saturday late morning the place started filling-up nicely.

Set inside the stunning looking former Templeton Carpet Factory, just a short walk from the People’s Palace, this is a large, open plan brewery bar and restaurant, specialising in German style brews. The bar has a large, spacious interior with modern floorboards and a slightly industrial flavour to its decor. The servery runs down the right hand wall and has an extremely deep counter, which makes it surprisingly difficult to reach over and pay. A plain bar back is dominated by large blackboards which list the entire drinks selection. Opposite the bar there are two large pillars with mid-height shelves stacked full of malt sacks, whilst beyond these there is a baby grand piano and some tables and chairs alongside a series of venetian blind screened windows which obscure a small side room. This room is fully wood panelled and has ample additional seating but looks like it might mainly be used for private events. At the front, near the entrance, there is what appears to be a disused bar counter with lots of high stools along it, which a few people were propped up on. The rear part of the room is the restaurant area – a large, open space with a greeter’s lectern to the front, set tables and broadly similar decor to the bar area. It seems like quite a nice place for a meal, but I can’t say the decor or the large size of the room lends itself particularly well to the drinker – perhaps it works better when there is a decent crowd in. Music was playing quietly in the background and the pub makes quite a bit of fuss about being dog friendly, although signs inside explain that there is a very strict ‘three barks and you’re out’ rule in force.
The brewery doesn’t produce cask ale, but instead focuses on replicating various German beer styles, so the West beers available on this visit included Heidi Weisse, St Mungo, Black GPA, Feierabend, Wild West, West 4 and Munich Red. I gave the latter a try and wasn’t really wowed by it, but then I suppose a cold keg beer wasn’t really what I was after having traipsed here through the snow.
I like the fact that this brewery has made good use of part of one of Glasgow’s iconic buildings, but found it was a bit of a shame that they had gone for a fairly non-descript decor scheme which makes no mention of the building’s history – there’s not so much as a scrap of carpet in sight! The beer is something that may be viewed as somewhat niche, but I can imagine would work well on a summer’s day or during Oktoberfest celebrations. I’d probably be more likely to return for food rather than just for a drink, but it’s certainly something a bit different and perhaps worth a look as part of a wider crawl.
