This coming weekend, the third Summerhall beer festival takes place, as the arts venue that encompasses Barney’s Brewery opens the doors again. With a huge outdoor drinking area, let’s hope the sun shines, as plenty of beers will be on offer. From the home stable (literally), Barney will be producing new beers such as a pale ale brewed with gin botanicals (supplied by Summerhalls new distillery, Pickerings), alongside 25 beers from such a range of notables as Weihenstephan, Mort Subite and Elixir. Food and live music will also be available. The festival opens twice on both days; 4:30pm-7:30pm Friday (£5), 2pm-7:30pm Saturday (£6) and on both nights, 8pm-1am (£9). Tickets include your first beer, and a festival glass.
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!
