Indie Beer Scotland, a new independent craft beer festival, is to launch in Edinburgh next month.
The event will take place in Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, on 19th and 20th August. It will feature more than 100 cask beers, craft keg, cider, and spirits, all from independent Scottish producers.
Indie Beer Scotland is organised by Scottish brewers from the not-for-profit trade association SIBA (the Society of Independent Brewers), which also organises the BeerX UK trade event and Love Beer London craft beer festival.
The festival organiser is Fiona MacEachern, from Loch Lomond Brewery, who feels that the event is a must-attend for Scottish beer lovers. She said: “It’s a really unique festival because we are bringing together some of the best Scottish independent craft breweries all in one place, with no big brands or mass-produced products available anywhere throughout the event.
“There will be brewers and beer lovers volunteering behind the bars, and we’re really proud of the list of breweries involved. You won’t find a better range of Scottish beer anywhere in the UK.”
The event also aims to offer great value for money, with advanced tickets just £5. “We’re really proud of the fact the event offers great value,” Fiona added. “With entry just £5 and beer prices from just £4 a pint, we want to be an event that is open and welcoming to everybody, and keeping the ticket price low is a key part of that.”
