Glasgow beers

I didn't spend all my time in Glasgow last week in the archives. I also went to a couple of pubs. Mostly in the company of my mate Robbie Pickering.

First was the Three Judges. Which I literally had to walk past to get from the archive to the subway station. I kicked off with a Stewart 80/-. And a double Glenlivet. The beer is very dark. As dark as Dark Mild. It's OK, though there's a a slight whiff of vinegar.

Next round, I go for a half of Broughton Old Jock. And another double malt.

After that, I need to get into the city centre to check into my hotel. And meet up with Robbie. At 6 PM in the Imperial, which is almost next door to my hotel. A nice pub, but with no cask beer. I have a McEwans 80/-. It's OK, in a keggy sort of way.

We only have the one before moving on to the nearby 'Spoons. Where I have a cheap pint of Jaipur. Lovely, as always.

We cross the Clyde to go for a curry. Which is yummy.

While we're on the posh side of the rives, we drop by the Laurieston. One of those single-storey, flat-roofed Glasgow pubs. As seen in Rab C. Nesbitt. I have a pint of something brown and Scottish.

On the way to our final destination, I spot a Tim Horton's. Didn't realise they had them in Scotland. Or the UK, for that matter.

What do I drink in the Pot Still? Can't remember, I'm afraid. Might have been a whisky.

Next day, I start with a small fried breakfast.

Before heading on to "Spoons. To kill some time before my flight. Where I get myself a Red McGregor. Which isn't bad at all.

And later a small fish and chips. And a Raven Amber Ale.

I have whisky in the lounge. And a quarter of a sandwich. Don't want to go too crazy.
