In 1997, husband and wife Robin and Gay Graham bought the pub in south Glasgow
that now houses Clockwork Beer Company and proceeded to trash the entire
premises and rebuild it. The result was Glasgow's first and only
remaining brewpub. The pub opened in December of
1997 and includes a non-smoking area that is family friendly, offers
regular entertainment and houses the clearly visible brewing equipment
that makes this on-site brewing operation into a brewpub. After a short term
under new owners, Clockwork is now owned and operated by Maclay Inns.
Brewing is performed using a five-barrel plant capable of turning out
some 1250 to 1440 pints at a time. In true Scottish tradition, the bar is
fitted with Aitken Tall Fonts - over 50 years old - for serving without the
use of return trays as they were originally used (and still are in other
parts of Scotland).
All of the beer brewed at Clockwork is consumed and/or sold on premises. In addition to their own beers, many finely kept guest ales are available. They also boast one of, if not the, largest selections of commercially available selections of German and Belgian beers in Scotland.
