Monday 16th [to Sun 22nd]
Stockbridge Tap beer festival
The Stockbridge Tap, 2-6 Raeburn Place
Further Information
Continuing from Thursday last week, the next seven days sees the culmination of the Stockbridge Tap’s beer festival. Head down to one of the very best pubs in the city for some cracking beers – including (but not limited to) Moor Hoppiness, Stewart Black IPA, Kelham Island Atomic Blonde, Cromarty Red Rocker and one of only two pins in Scotland of Alechemy’s 11% Octomore barrel-aged release – Monumental.
Monday 16th 8:00pm
Imperials at Appellation CB
Appellation Wines Comely Bank, Comely Bank Rd
Appellation Wines website tickets £10
Ahh, imperials. The highest of the high. The loftiest of the lofty. Ashton McCobb is a man who knows a thing or two about oomph, and if you head down to Comely Bank on Monday night, you’ll be able to find out exactly what. The weekly Appellation Wines tasting will be covering six Imperial beers – big stouts, huge IPA’s and the like – all guaranteed to deliver depths of flavour that many other beers just can’t get near. Should be a great evening.
Thursday 18th [to Sunday 22nd]
Septembeerfest
The Radical Road, 229 Willowbrae Rd
Radical Road Twitter feed
On Thursday, the third annual Septembeerfest kicks off once again at the Radical Road in Duddingston. A selection of real ales will be on – as you’d expect – along with food and live music. It may be slightly off the beaten track for city-centre types, but there’s plenty going on over the end of the week to get people along – and the food comes highly recommended.
Thursday 19th 7:30pm
