Scottish craft brewer, Stewart Brewing, has announced the return of its annual Edinburgh Beer Festival on Saturday 13th May.

Apparently, it is already Monday morning. Which means it must be time for some drink news.

If you like great beer, you will be pleased to hear that our friends at Edinburgh’s Stewart Brewing have pencilled in another hoolie.

The one day event at Stewart Brewing’s brewery will be the biggest yet. Guests can try over 40 craft beers, including favourites such as Radical Road, Jack Back, Hollyrood and Pentland IPA.

Stewart’s Lager

And there will also be the opportunity to drink their newly launched Stewart’s Lager.

Stewart Brewing Cider – specially made for the festival – and limited edition beers will help make it an event to remember.

Live music at Edinburgh Beer Festival

In addition, the Edinburgh Beer Festival will showcase live music and street food vendors.

Jo Stewart, founder, commented: ‘This is our third year holding a beer festival at our brewery and it’s set to be our best yet. We’re looking forward to introducing visitors to some of our favourite beers from across Scotland and beyond. Of course, these include a few special collaborations we’ve created with friends at other breweries.

‘This is clearly the perfect festival for beer enthusiasts but a love of beer is not essential. We want it to be a day everyone can come along and enjoy. As well as craft beer, the Edinburgh Beer Festival will feature a selection of wines, gins and soft drinks plus delicious street food including Big Blu Pizza and Fresh Revolution. It will all be accompanied by music from brilliant local bands.’

Tickets cost £15 per person which includes entry, a souvenir glass and can of beer on arrival. Children accompanied by adults can attend free of charge.

Tickets are on sale now.

The Edinburgh Beer Festival takes place at Stewart Brewing, Bilston Glen Industrial Estate, 26a Dryden Rd, Loanhead. Bus routes 37 and 47 provide easy access to the brewery from the city centre.
