71 Brewing - Dundee

Great beers , but there's a big but.My last 2 order experiences have been abysmal. It's one thing receiving a wrong order , but it's it's a lot worse when you receive everything you've ordered to be bashed. My experience lately has left a bad taste in my mouth. Customer service really is not a core strength. Must do much better. A customer of 3 years lost.

It started with 71 Brewery's 'Luminous Nights.' I was about to say 'and it stopped with ....' but I'm still enjoying each and ever offering from these rather clever people from Dundee at 71 Brewery. I like to think I have good taste buds for beer, having tried many over the years. Local artisan beers I've had have usually disappointed so it was with hesitation I tried the selection of beers from 71 Brewery as I'd never heard of them before.

I wished I hadn't! I can't stop buying their products now! Luminous Nights is incredible: next up was 'Mandarina Sky' this one also is incredible. Subtle fruit tones that have you gasping to try, not too gassy and superbly hazy in appearance. The assault on my taste buds had me wanting to drink it all in one go: but no, I savoured every mouthful. Oh boy, hard to find superlatives that fit this review without sounding, well, 'gushy.' Truthfully, search them out, you so won't be disappointed.

Visited on a weekday, after a quiet beer alone.

Barman was really friendly and let me sample ALL the beers (I didn’t ask to) had a great conversation about them.

Settled for an IPA which was good value.

Saw some DJ decks presume the atmosphere is livelier on the weekends!

Couldn’t stay too long but did enjoy the visit!

I attended my first ever piss-up in a brewery here for a friend's 50th birthday - it was remarkably well organised!
Over 50 of us turned up in quite a short space of time and the staff coped admirably; I didn't hear a single grumble. I didn't have time to sample more than a couple of the dangerous number of beers they offer but they were bloody tasty and not unreasonably priced. Well worth a go - I think they do tours of the brewery.

Very good! Airy covered beer garden round the back on Ure Street. Check the flower gallery! Contactless ordering with their app is painless once enrolled. All Friday afternoons should be this way!

A taproom with 10 good taps, outstanding staff, and perhaps the best bottleshop in Dundee.

Good rotation of beers both on draft and in the bottleshop, some proper gems and rarities end up hidden in this tiny taproom that looks more like a student flat than a bar at first glance.

Don't be put off though - this hidden gem is Dundee's best kept beer secret. The beers they make range in styles and they come up with some winners too.

Tell your friends! Or don't, and make this hidden piece of Dundee all yours.

Had a great experience at 71 Brewing yesterday. Totally unexpected. Ian was pure Dundonian class as the tour guide, giving laughs and insight into the history of the building and the brewery. My old man loved it as a gift. Definitely recommend this! Now I’m off to watch Crystal Maze...🍻🙌🏻

Small bar selling craft and cask beers, mostly from their own brewhouse. Rustic interior with few comforts, but if you are there for the range of beer I am sure that won't matter. Off sales too, plus brewery visits available.
