TinPot Microbrewery and Allanwater Brewhouse

A young micro-brewery, Tinpot’s brewmasters Walter Dunlop and Douglas Ross are mostly into experimenting with different, somewhat left field flavours. Brewing for the Allanwater Brewhouse bar and various festivals, the range has included Thai Pot, with a lemon edge, Marmalade Pot, Five Spice Pot, oregano-flavoured Pizza Pot and the more inclusive-sounding Raspberry Pot. They do a couple of gluten-free beers as well – Treacle and Honey. If you’d like to do some experimenting yourself, they offer half or full day brewing experiences. The Brewhouse has a bar and a visitor centre providing tours of the brewery.
