The Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival will see 11 Scottish craft breweries showcasing their finest seasonal drinks. It will run from noon to 6pm.
This year’s line-up features some returning faces, including Edinburgh’s Campervan and Closet Brewing, but also plenty of new faces from the local area, including Pilot Beer, Stewart Brewing, Bellfield Brewery, and Barney’s Beer.
From further afield, craft beer fans can also get a taste for Glasgow’s Main’s Brewing, Falkirk’s Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing, Haddington’s Winton Brewery, and Linlithgow’s Strangers Brewing. There will be street food and live music, too.
“We’re thrilled to be welcoming a top-tier line-up of breweries to our third Grassmarket Beer Festival!” said Ruth Reid, brand and marketing manager at Cold Town Brewery.
“Time and again, this event has proven to be a brilliant celebration of the Scottish craft beer community, and this year’s edition is no exception.”
Kieran James, sales manager at Pilot Beer, added: “Pilot are looking forward to our first time at the Grassmarket Craft Beer Fest. A day sampling the best beers the capital has to offer? What’s not to like?”
