Allanwater Brewhouse - Craft Beer and Pizzas

It all began in 1996 when Douglas Ross turned his passion for brewing into reality by founding the Allanwater Brewhouse. Since then, the brewery has flourished, delighting seasoned ale enthusiasts and newcomers with its wide range of handcrafted beers.

Douglas and his team masterfully balance tradition and innovation, offering classic brews like 70/- Gold Pot and Pot Black Stout alongside adventurous creations such as Thai Pot and Chilli Pot. With every batch, they stay true to their ethos of using only the finest, natural, and ethically sourced ingredients.

But it’s not just about the beer—the Allanwater Brewhouse is a warm, welcoming place where locals and visitors can relax. The dog & children friendly bar is a perfect spot to stop by with your furry companion & your family. You’ll also find at weekends some amazing stone-baked Scottish pizzas, perfectly paired with the craft beer of your choice.

For those who want a deeper look into the brewing process, the Allanwater Brewhouse offers bespoke brewery tours where you can learn about the craftsmanship behind every pint. Whether enjoying a freshly poured ale, a slice of stone-baked pizza, or just enjoying taking in the friendly atmosphere, the Allanwater Brewhouse promises an experience to remember.

So if you’re a craft beer connoisseur, a foodie, or just looking for a cosy, dog-friendly spot, Bridge of Allan’s Allanwater Brewhouse Bar & Brewery is the place to be!
