Since I’ve moved to the Southside of Glasgow, my wife and I love to venture into Shawlands, celebrating many a special occasion dining at The Dapper Mongoose or, when we both share a day off together, having (kill me for saying the word) brunch at Café Strange Brew or Bramble. 

Our visits always result in a magnetic pull towards Curious Liquids which we treat as a museum for alcohol, admiring all the fantastic artwork on their impossibly infinite ale collection. We buy based on our favourite labels, and the contents of the cans never disappoint, with aptly curious concoctions such as cinder toffee stout or Irish coffee and vanilla. 

Every can we’ve brought home remains intact and decorates our house, favourite being the puppy-adorned Dog Day Afternoon Kölsch-style beer, which is fitting as we run a soft play for dogs called The Dug And Bone in East Kilbride.
