About This Adventure
Experience the ultimate brewery adventure with a unique tour at Tennent’s Visitor Centre, where you'll explore the beer-making process and enjoy a freshly poured pint from copper tanks. Afterward, savor a delicious two-course meal at Drygate Brewery, perfectly paired with your favorite beverage in a vibrant gastropub setting.
Experience
If this sounds like bliss for you, then you’ll jump at the chance to book in for the special offer we currently have with our friends at Drygate Brewery. They’ve partnered with us to offer a unique tour experience that is topped off with a two-course meal at their restuarant/bar.
Tour
You’ll kick off with the full tour experience at the Tennent’s Visitor Centre, where your guide will take you all over the brewery. We pride ourselves on being able to offer an access-all-areas style tour where you get to see the process of making Scotland’s favourite beer from start to finish. After the tour, it’s common for guests to work up a thirst, so it’s lucky we offer a pint at the end that is extra special. Poured from small copper tanks, it’s your chance to taste the freshest pint of Tennent’s anyone could get their hands on.
Meal
When the tour is over, we’re hoping you’ll have worked up an appetite for some of the great food on offer at Drygate Brewery. Just next door from the Wellpark Brewery, you’ll find yourself in a Craft Brewery serving up gastropub fayre and, of course, the perfect meal accompaniment in the form of a pint of Tennents (or glass of wine/Drygate Beer if you prefer).
