Emma Autumn craft beer festival in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket
Edinburgh’s Cold Town House has announced plans to host a new autumn beer festival in the city’s Grassmarket on Saturday 9th November to help celebrate Scotland’s thriving independent craft beer scene.
Following the success of its inaugural beer festival in May, Cold Town House is now gearing up to welcome hundreds of craft beer fans from across the country in the heart of the capital from 12pm to 6pm.
This Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival is being set up to offer a more autumnal and intimate experience, with nine Scottish craft breweries showcasing their finest seasonal and often darker brews, including Edinburgh’s Campervan, Closet Brewing and Vault City.
From further afield, craft beer fans can also get a taste for Glasgow’s Up Front Brewing and Dookit Brewing; Dundee’s 71 Brewing; Aberdeen’s Fierce Beer; and Linlithgow’s Strangers Brewing.
Cold Town Beer and Fierce Beer will also be launching their new collaborative brew, Smoked Session Stout. With an ABV of 4.8%, this will be the perfect tipple for the darker and colder winter months.
This fully immersive Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival experience will give people the opportunity to get a close-up view of Cold Town’s very own microbrewery and meet head brewer, Hayley Ransome between 12pm and 2pm.
Festivalgoers can look forward to some cosy, autumnal acoustic sets by local musicians, including Jodie Differ from 1.30pm to 3pm and Darren McElver from 4pm to 5.30pm.
Street food favourites and Cold Town’s famous Neapolitan pizzas are also up for grabs.
Hayley Ransome, Head Brewer at Cold Town Brewery, said:
“After the smashing success of our first event earlier this year, the Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival is back for round two! This time, we’re bringing you a more intimate experience, with local breweries showcasing the finest of their seasonal brews, whilst accompanied by some cosy, autumnal acoustic sets by local musicians.
“Since opening our doors in 2019, Cold Town House has quickly made its name as the home of Cold Town Beer, as well as one of Scotland’s most popular craft beer bars and live entertainment venues. We’re really proud to have our very own taproom and iconic roof terrace with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle.”
