A SCOTTISH brewery has won a contract to supply beer to the European Championships in Glasgow.
West will supply beer to the two bars on George Square and Glasgow Green.
Glasgow and Berlin will jointly host the exciting multi-sport event bringing together some of the continent’s leading sports, including the existing European Championships for athletics, aquatics, cycling, gymnastics, rowing and triathlon with a new golf team championships.
Glasgow will host aquatics, cycling, golf, gymnastics, rowing and triathlon while Berlin hosts athletics.
West’s pop-up bar will be pouring beer for the duration of the tournament from Thursday August 2 until Sunday August 12.
West founder, Bavarian-born Petra Wetzel, said: “Our brewery motto is ‘Glaswegian Heart, German Head’, which is just so appropriate given that these inaugural European Championships are co-hosted by Glasgow and Berlin.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
