The Edinburgh Restaurant Festival continues this weekend with, among other attractions, the West End Beer Festival on Sunday.
Five of Edinburgh’s West End bars – Teuchters, The Melville, The Grosvenor, The Ghillie Dhu and Ryan’s Bar – have teamed up with the finest Scottish microbrewers to bring a range of authentic craft beers to the Capital’s thirstiest foodies from 12.30pm.
Here’s the Meet the Makers schedule:
12.30 pm – Fallen Brewing Co. at Teuchters
2.00 pm – Caledonian Brewery at The Melville
3.30 pm – Alechemy at The Grosvenor
5.00 pm – Speyside Craft Brewery at The Ghillie Dhu
6.30 pm – Barney’s Beer & Stewart Brewing at Ryan’s Bar
Stewarts Brewing have crafted a beer especially for the festival and promise it’ll be ‘something a little different; a little funky’.
Steve Stewart, Owner and Master Brewer of Stewarts Brewing’s Craft Beer Kitchen says ‘We thought carefully about choosing what beer to brew for the West End Beer Festival. The style is a Belgian Blonde beer, not often seen on cask here in Scotland. Taking inspiration from the Abbey brewers of Belgium, a special yeast strain was chosen that imparts notes of ripe fruits and gentle spice. There is intrigue tempered by the soft body and drinkability. A blend of old world character and modern sharpness.’
