Overtone Brewing Co
Glasgow's most exciting modern brewery. Overtone focuses on two things: assertive American-style IPAs and barrel-aged stouts. Both are done extremely well. Their West Coast IPA is bracingly bitter and resinous — a proper throwback to the pre-hazy era. The barrel-aged stouts, matured in bourbon and whisky casks, are among the best dark beers produced in Scotland. The Glasgow tap room is small but stocks the full range plus one-off specials that don't make it to retail. Overtone has built a serious reputation on consistency and ambition without needing BrewDog-scale marketing.
