Don’t worry if you’re bored of Dundee, there’s Arbroath coming up next.
But first, your authentic craft brewery tap with wall art and brewing vessels.
On the wall outside 71 Brewing are a series of frescoes depicting BRAPA entering details for Tayside pubs into his GBG spreadsheet in 2237 AD.
On the door it says “Private Function at 6pm“. I’m sure I told them to put that up just before Duncan gets here when 71 Brewing makes the GBG.
It’s a tiny tap for a brewery whose beers I saw at the V&A and Innis & Gunn, but I think you’ll see it ticks all your boxes.
Top marks for cheery welcome, a stunning Black IPA (NBSS 4) and allowing me to choose the music on the I-Pod.
Think I made a convert to the Julia Jacklin cause, too.
Will have made a change from the Toto and Styx demanded by the official CAMRA party who turned up later that evening.

I wonder how my usual trio of Pretty Vacant, Waterloo Sunset, and Lay Lady Lay would have gone down?

Nah. That warrants a non-ironic “Green, Green, Grass Of Home”.

Ok you’re teasing me now. And not just with that gremlin thing. It’s not (yet) a rule we all have to carry creatures round with us. That’s another certain pre-emptive that I haven’t done. And user friendly opening times.

Ah, a gremlin. That’s the one.
Apparently quite a few AGM attendees walked up here (took a taxi) but couldn’t get in due to fire regulations, which would be an irritating way to fail.

Speaking of certain pre-emptives, the micro pub in Callander (the Engine Room) opened this weekend.

That looks like an incredibly well hidden place and a magnificent beard on the barman!

I always feel I have to be careful when I talk about beards. It was magnificent, but paled in comparison to that of Royce Hunt, who managed protocol at the CAMRA AGM.
