Brewery and ‘beer experience’ venue planned for Glasgow

- Team:Graven (architect)
Inn House Brewery Company has asked Glasgow City Council for permission to open its “brewery and beer experience centre” on Finnieston’s Haugh Road.
Under the proposals, which have been designed by Graven, several businesses would operate from the premises, with the bar and restaurant catering for up to 200 customers.
Plans for a brewery and bar were previously granted consent in March 2017 but permission expires after three years.
The application said: “With the expanse of residential accommodation in the Finnieston area the site is envisaged to provide a place for people to congregate and enjoy company in a transformed post-industrial building.
“The area will be comfortably laid out in a lounge-style to encourage mixed-use activities such as meetings, dining, local group events, a break out space for those home brewing in the school and of course a venue for those here to drink great beer.”
The site’s principal use will be the brewery, with a production capacity of 7000 hectolitre per annum, which will be complemented by the restaurant and bar, a planning statement added. An off-licence and outdoor seating area are also included in the plans.
The statement said: “The vision is to create an experience venue where multiple-use customers can enjoy the environs of the building.
“Home brewers, beer drinkers, casual diners, locals, guest brewers and those wishing to learn about beer will all be accommodated for.”
