Wednesday 4th 7:00pm
‘You Mustard Cresspect Your Kelpers’ Launch
Cloisters Bar, 26 Brougham St
Carbon Smith Twitter Feed / Elixir Brew Co Twitter Feed
Cloisters is the place to be on Wednesday night as Edinburgh’s latest collaboration beer launches, and it’s one that I seem to have been (indirectly) responsible for. In this post I wrote back in June, about whether saisons have become the style for craft beer tinkering, I casually mentioned a random wanky-sounding beer to illustrate my (laboured) point – a ‘Peruvian kelp-infused green tea and mustard cress pale ale’. Well, Ollie from Carbon Smith and Benjii – it would have to be Benjii – from Elixir Brew Co seemed to take this as a challenge, and have brewed a saison version. And it launches this Wednesday. Is this a case of life imitating art? Or being careful what you wish for. Either way, it should be something…
Thursday 5th 8:00pm
Stouts and Porters at Appellation CB
Appellation Wines, Comely Bank Road
Appellation Wines website tickets £10
It’s all about the dark beers on Thursday, at the Appellation Wines tasting covers stouts and porters. Head along to Comely Bank and find out what the difference is between the two styles, why they both warm you up on a cold February night, and why imperial versions can warm you up even more.
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!
