17:30 Fairly busy. The brewer was sitting drinking at the bar so we were able to glean a lot of information about the beers.

We came here immediately after watching Olympic football at Hampden Park – unfortunately, so it seemed, did most of the other near 40,000 from the stadium. It was actually 40 minutes until I was away from the bar, juggling six pints. Probably the longest I have ever waited to be served anywhere – but with one of my friends walking with a stick and a collective lack of knowledge of alternative venues in the area, we decided to persevere. The pub remained very busy indeed throughout our stay.

Clockwork - Oregon IPA
5.50
Amber in colour. A balanced pint of solid malt and US hops.
Clockwork - Red Alt Beer
4.40
Very red, in both colour and flavour. More red than alt in fact I would suggest. Sweet, caramel malt tastes, a bit of Cascade hop character.
Clockwork - Maclay's Wallace IPA
4.50
Very sweet and a bit too tangy.

Elgood's - Mad Dog
4.40
Slightly cloudy copper colour. Very decent bitter, fine, some nice citrus. Bit of caramel, decent hop. NIce.
Clockwork - Kitchen Sink Ale
4.20
Attractive red/amber colour with thin beige head. Sweaty sox hop. Really quite attractive beer. Slightly sweet malt. Good beer, best of the Clockwork beers that I had.
Bank Top - Bikes Trikes and Beer
3.60
Pale gold, lasting white head. It’s a soft and gold and citrusy beer, little bit of stale malt. I think it’s pretty drinkable, decent tingly finish. Fine.
Clockwork - Ginger
5.00
Haze green/gold colour with no head. Really gingery, a bit harsh, very spicy ginger on finish. Wow, that wakes you up. Pretty harsh, bit minty on finish. Fine.
Clockwork - Red Alt Beer
4.40
Amber beer aroma. Some buttery caramel, some spicy hop on end. Some choc. OK.
Clockwork - Original Lager
4.80
Pale gold, thin white head. Fairly dull aroma, some lemon, malts are thin. The lemon fruit is a little like washing up liquid. Not great.
Clockwork - Amber IPA
3.80
Gold, lasting white head. It’s a fairly standard bitter, some bleach which pulls the score down. Not fantastic.
Clockwork - Gosch
4.80
A Glaswegian Kolsch. Pale gold, thin lasting white head. Stale aroam, cardboard, terrible and not good drinking.
The pub is found in Glasgow, Glasgow, City of, G42 9HB.
You have to take the local train south out of Central Station and get out at Mount Florida to get to this. It isn't far from Hampden Park. Large pub with the brewery housed in part of the building. Long side wooden pub serves the brewpubs beers and a few guests. Plenty of seating both on the ground floor and on split upstairs level.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 22 different beers and tried 12 of them.
