Monday 5th 8:00pm
Scandinavian Beers at Appellation
Appellation Wines, 43 Dalry Road
Appellation Wines website tickets £10
Head along to Dalry on Monday night and get with some Nordic Noir (and saisons, and IPA’s, etc). Appellation’s weekly tasting relates to the flourishing beer scene of Scandinavia. Mikkeller, Nøgne Ø, To Øl – they all produce stunning beers. If you aren’t aware of them, get yourself in the know with Craig and the team on Monday!
Wednesday 7th 7:30pm
Time for Tea at Holyrood 9A, with Fyne Ales
Holyrood 9A, Holyrood Road
Further Details / Fyne Ales blogpost
On Wednesday, attention turns to the Holyrood 9A, as their taps will be pouring some very special collaboration beers. Argyll’s favoured sons Fyne Ales have joined forces with Eteaket to brew a range of ales infused with specific teas. Six different leafy blends were sent up to Cairndow, and after a fair bit of procrastination (and probably several packets of digestives), two beers were created; Blooming Brew and Chai P.A. Both will be on offer, alongside newcomer From the Ashes, and five other Fyne Ales beers on cask and keg. Get there early!
Thursday 8th 7:30pm
Hot Rum Cow beer launch
Jeremiah’s Taproom, Elm Row

On Thursday, Jeremiah’s Taproom is the place to be, as Leith’s finest magazine Hot Rum Cow launch their own beer. Produced at Stewart Brewing’s Craft Beer Kitchen, it is a 6.7% rye IPA and should definitely be worth seeking out.

The next evening, Leith’s Pilot Beer are putting their liquid wares up against food from Stockbridge’s Pantry – one of the most under-rated restaurants in the city. Four courses will be matched to a beer from Pilot, with all proceeds going to charity. Head along and discover the joys of beer and food matching, and to catch up with what Leith’s new kids on the block are up to.
Friday 9th [to Sunday 11th]
