After a number of years home brewing, experience with the Craft Brewers Association and a spell with a local micro brewery and with the help of redundancy package; the Tryst Brewery was about to be born.
On a trip to Manchester the ex Berkley Brewery was bought; consisting of a ten-barrel gas fired Boiler, a Hot Liquor Tank, Two Fermenting Vessels, Conditioning tanks, pump, loads of pipe work and spent a few months putting it together and upgrading both it and a small industrial unit in Larbert rented from Lite Engineering Co Ltd.
In 2003 the Tryst Brewery started brewing its now award winning range of real ales and beers and continues to grow in 'strength'.
