Thursday 2nd [to Sunday 26th]
The Thinking Drinkers Guide to Alcohol
The Assembly Rooms, George St
Ticket details £10 (£9 concession)

The Edinburgh Festival is here again – whilst many of the locals will be hiding in the quieter pubs, there’s always something going on for the beer lover. Alongside the general hubub of being involved in the festival atmosphere – there’s now a show you can attend. Beer Writer of the Year Ben McFarland and Tom Sandham will be presenting the Drinkers Guide to Alcohol – a humorous look at booze throughout the ages, with six free drinks for each audience member over the course of the hour. Now that’s a session.

Thursday 2nd
IPA Day at the Caley
The Caley Sample Room, Angle Park Terrace

This coming Saturday (August the 4th) is #IPADay, the hashtag-heavy promotional day for the world’s favourite beer style. There are plenty of events in the USA, of course, where the IPA holds strong – and several across the UK. A couple of days beforehand, Edinburgh has a crack, as the Caley Sample Room turns over every cask tap to the hop. Full beer list is as follows – it’s going to be quite a night!

– Deuchars IPA,
– Black Isle IPA (tbc),
– Cromarty Happy Chappy (dry-hopped Riwaka),
– Williams Joker IPA,
– Tyne Bank Double IPA,
– Harbour Brewing IPA,
– Dark Star APA,
