Clockwork Beer Co, 1153-1155 Cathcart Rd, Glasgow G42 9HB

Clockwork Beer Co is located on Cathcart Road, not far from Mount Florida Railway Station and Hampden Park (handy for a pre-game pint).  We popped in to have a look at their brewery tour.

I've long been a fan of Clockwork Beer Co, they link in a lot with locals such as Glasgow Beer Week and other local groups wishing to make beer out of Elderflower etc.

I met with Declan who has been at the Brewery for around a year.  Unfortunately it was clean up day and not brewing day but still an excellent tour and explanation of every part of the process was given.  I really didn't know that the brewing area was so extensive.  You get a peak through the window in the bar but this also extends further into the back of the bar.

As well as to the different types of malts used.   I was unaware of how vast an array of hops and malts were used for just one brew.  The process reminded me a lot of cooking, various tastes, smells and seasonings to create the perfect recipe.

After the tour you get to try a selection of their home brews.

Clockword Beer Co produce a selection of home beers using ingredients from around the world.  I never knew malt and hops came from so far, and had such different tastes and smells.

Clockwork Lager  - 4.8%, A pale and light tasting, clear lager.  Malt - Lager Malt, Hops - Tettnang from Germany and Saaz from New Zealand.

Hopscotch - 5%.  Fruity and fragrant, easy to drink. Malt - Maris Otter Pale, Cara.  Hops - Columbus (USA), Green Bullet (New Zealand) and Centenial (USA).

Red Alt - 4.4%. Rich and Red.  Malt - Maris Otter Pale, Melanoidin and Chocolate Wheat. Hops - Cascade and Columbus (USA).

Thunder and Lightning - 6%. Strong, dark ale.  Malt - Maris Otter Pale, Chocolate, Cara and Crystal.  Hops - Cascade (USA) and Bobek (Slovenia).

Would recommend a visit to the brewery, great insight into the process and to be educated in the nuances of beer.
