Dougal Gunn Sharp, Innis & Gunn founder and master brewer said: “We have been big fans of what the team at Argyle St Arches have been building since the venue reopened, so it’s amazing to now be a central part of the journey at what is definitely one of the most exciting venues in Scotland right now.
“The space is stunning, it’s exactly what we wanted it to be when we had initial conversations about the project a number of months ago, and we’re looking forward to showing the people of Glasgow what we have to offer as we welcome the first customers from today.
"We’re particularly excited about the new brewing facility, so make sure you stay up to date with our exclusive Arch brews as you won’t want to miss any.”

Innis & Gunn has invested a six-figure sum in the space, occupying the entire arch in the beloved venue.
The opening extends the capacity of Argyle St Arches by around 350. The bar is one of seven venues across Scotland where the brewery-fresh tank lager can be sampled.
Brewers will also be getting in on the action of the Banksy redesign by lending a hand to the artists tasked with recreating the iconic piece.
Innis & Gunn will regularly rotate Argyle St Arches exclusive brews created on site, as well as offering beer lovers the chance to take over the brew kit themselves in the months to come.
The Innis & Gunn bar is open alongside Platform at Argyle St Arches from today, from 12pm to 10pm tomorrow and Saturday, and again on Sunday from 12pm to 6pm.
