As someone who really, REALLY likes to get into the inner workings of things (in his other life as a Science teacher, he was always obsessed by how things were the way they were), Alex then spent countless time researching ingredients, brewing processes and methods, recipe development and hop profiles to find out what it was that made the beer that he wanted to drink, which incidentally seemed to turn out to be the beer that lots of others wanted to drink too. With the help of Ciaran of Acid Brewing Cartel, Winton Brewery in Haddington, and the crew at Brew Hub in Glasgow, he was able to bring his ideas to life, and Spectra Brewing was born. Our beers are heavily inspired by the US-led IPA revolution, with the East Coast style being our “go-to”, but also taking influences from West Coast beers. Hops are given a front-and-centre place in all our beers, and they are always full of flavour. Primarily, we want to produce beers that craft lovers will want to drink. However, we also take inspiration from the sorts of ales we have always drank in pubs (proper real ales), but give them a new lease of life. ## What they brew - IPA — 68% of the beers we track - Pale Ale — 32% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: Glasgow, Glasgow City, Scotland - Coordinates: 55.86167039999999, -4.2583345 - Website: http://www.spectrabrewing.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Clan Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/clan-brewing-company-7673.md) — 2.52, Limited — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 0 mi away - [Dead End Brew Machine](https://finding.beer/brewery/dead-end-brew-machine-13314.md) — 3.79, Fine — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 0 mi away - [Innis & Gunn Beer Kitchen Ashton Lane](https://finding.beer/brewery/innis-gunn-beer-kitchen-ashton-lane-17195.md) — 3.46, Poor — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 0.1 mi away - [Shilling Brewing Co](https://finding.beer/brewery/shilling-brewing-co-8486.md) — 3.03, Limited — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 0.1 mi away - [Drygate](https://finding.beer/brewery/drygate-9625.md) — 3.06, Limited — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 1 mi away - [Tennent's Caledonian Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/tennents-caledonian-brewery-17227.md) — 2.69, Limited — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 1.1 mi away - [Brewgooder](https://finding.beer/brewery/brewgooder-8470.md) — 2.83, Limited — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 1.2 mi away - [WEST Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/west-brewery-17216.md) — 2.97, Limited — Glasgow, Glasgow City — 1.2 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in Glasgow, Scotland](https://finding.beer/breweries/scotland/glasgow.md) - [Best breweries in Scotland](https://finding.beer/breweries/scotland.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
