Grab a drink, and join Drink Wise Age Well for a discussion about Glasgow’s pub and drinking history in 20 objects. What was important about the pubs of our past? Are the pubs today that different? What clues does our historical relationship with the pub have to our drinking culture today?
We often put off big lifestyle changes (like running, cutting down drinking and dieting) for our future self to do. But what if you decided to tackle your relationship with alcohol now? What could the future you look like?
Drink Wise Age Well invite you to their pub the Droothy Bothy. Grab a pew and have a blether with someone who can point you in the right direction: What a future you could look like with less alcohol.
Nourished by Nature founder and passionate fermentation expert Janice, from Slow Food Glasgow will talk about Kombucha and Water Kefir.

Come along to the Club Soda Lab and join in our research into how low and no-alcohol beer is sold! What do you look for on those decorative bar pump clips in pubs? Do you want to know how strong your beer is, or if it’s low calorie, low carb, or vegan? Where do you look on restaurant drinks menus for your alcohol-free drinks? Do you prefer them to be in their own section, or would you rather they were just treated as “normal” drinks? Have a play in our lab, and you may even win a box of alcohol-free drinks delivered to you home!
