The investment has seen two new staff members join the team to deliver one of the best- loved tourist experiences in Glasgow. In the short period since opening, Wellpark Brewery has jumped up three places to seventh, in the top ranked things to do in Glasgow on TripAdvisor with a host of five-star reviews flooding in.
