So – what’s happening in the Edinburgh beer scene over the next seven days?
Wednesday 27th 7:30pm
Meet the Brewer – Wild Beer Co
The Hanging Bat, 133 Lothian Rd
Further Information tickets here £20
The fourth Meet the Brewer event to take place at the Hanging Bat features another new and upcoming brewery – the Wild Beer Company. Based in Somerset, founders Andrew and Brett have developed their brewery around that particularly interesting theme. Many of their beers are fermented with wild yeasts, whereas those that aren’t have a different type of ‘wild’ ingredient added, or process used, as they are brewed. Head down to the Hanging Bat to meet the guys and find out exactly what they are up to, and why they’ve embraced the unpredictable. The beer list (on the first link above) sounds like it will be a must-visit occasion.
Wednesday 27th 7:30pm
Meet the Brewer – Alechemy Brewing Co
The Stockbridge Tap, 2-6 Raeburn Place

However, on the other side of town at precisely the same moment is another, unmissable, Meet the Brewer night, as the good Dr James Davies will be at the Stockbridge Tap for a launch event of the brand new Galaxy Burst. Seven Alechemy beers will be on cask in all – including, for the first time ever, his 8.5% Russian Imperial Stout (Ruskie Business). Also making its debut, the keg lager that James brews for the Crate in London, that even he hasn’t tried (we helped with a batch last year, and didn’t sample it then either). As if that weren’t enough, the staff at the Tap have brewed their own beer for Wednesday night – a Fruit Salad IPA (with actual Fruit Salads), and the event also co-incides with £6 burger night.
So, two tap takeovers this week, both on at once. Our advice? Head to both. Oh, and take Thursday off work…
The Edinburgh Beer Weekly will be published every Sunday here on the BeerCast. If you have an event in or around the city that you’d like to feature – please get in touch at the usual email address. Cheers!
