The Tryst Brewery is owned and run by John McGarva. The Tryst (meaning the gathering or meeting place) is an area north of Falkirk where in the past cattle were herded down from north of the central belt before being driven south to market. Since this is the area the brewery is based, the logical name for the brewery was the Tryst Brewery.
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, John McGrva's Tryst Brewery was born. In 2003 the Tryst Brewery started brewing its now award winning range of real ales and beers and continues to grow in 'strenght'.
