However, two night earlier, on 26th November, there will be an opening party. It’s first come, first served to bag a place, with 250 tickets up for grabs. Register here.

All Innis & Gunn guests will get a free pint of lager on arrival to help kick-start the evening. Plus, revellers will enjoy a packed party with stage performances, exclusive prizes and giveaways, and limited-edition brews on tap. Nibbles will be served from the Taproom’s new Scottish menu.

With 21 rotational taps in total, the new city centre Taproom — Innis & Gunn’s second Glasgow venue — is located at 22-24 West Nile Street in a busy circuit of bars. It has created around 40 jobs.

Innis & Gunn founder, Dougal Gunn Sharp, said: “West Nile Street’s opening represents the next stage in our Taproom plan. The demand for great beers and great food is there in Glasgow, so we’re confident our new city centre premises will be a welcome addition.

“We want to give Glasgow beer and lager lovers the full Innis & Gunn experience, so we’re kicking off the celebrations with a party on Saturday 26th followed by our free pint giveaway on Monday, 28th. Come on Glasgow, let’s see how quickly we can get through those 5,000 pints!”
