The Alternative Scottish Beer Festival
Love flat beer, sandals with socks on and bad pipe bands? No neither do we! That’s why the Alternative Scottish Beer Festival is the place to be!
On Thursday the 16th June we will be launching the first Beer Festival to be held in our new Edinburgh Bar, at 143 Cowgate, EH11JS.
Brewdog Edinburgh has been a real hit since its opening in March, and following an awesome 3 day festival in Aberdeen last week we expect The Alternative Beer Festival to go off with a bang!
No Cask Ale
No Tennents
No Morris Dancers or Bag Pipes
No French
The central theme of the event is a rotating selection of sometimes never before seen BrewDog Beers on our guest taps. If you love good beer, then settle yourself down on one of our comfy couches, grab a burger from the BBQ and get ready to have your taste buds delighted!
12pm Everyday
We will be kicking things off every-day with a selection of seasonal brews, and sometimes never before seen beers you’re your drinking pleasure!
1pm Everyday
The first of our twice daily beer tastings, we will supply the whole bar with a taster beer and match it with one of our awesome pizza selections! We here at Brewdog think that beer and food pairings can take craft beer to a whole new level and were gonna show you how! One of our awesome Brewbar scamps will talk you through what the beer is, talk you through its malt character or that crazy hoppy zing you will be experiencing.
we also have games!
5pm Everyday
You thought our first beer tasting was great, well our second of the day is going to blow you away! We love hops, and we mean we REALLY love hops!! So much so we have had our mad scientist/engineer dude slaving away in a laboratory for the last few weeks developing our hopinator to allow us to literally soak the beer though fresh hops directly before it hits your glass! After the demise of our Hopinator mk1 in a very public soaking of our Head of Bars Bruce in Aberdeen, Hopinator Mk2 we hope is going to hop you like you’ve never been hopped before!!
Live Music
We will be pairing all this great beer with some equally great music. Live music will be played in the bar everyday on the below times, and will be paired (a la Martin Dickie, at our soon to be legendary AGM) with some great beers on our guest taps.
Thursday 5pm-7pm
Friday 5pm-7pm
Saturday 6.30pm-8.30pm
Beer Cocktails
Love beer? Love cocktails? Well we will be experimenting with some old favorites with a crazy Brewdog/Beery twist. From Tokyo Punch to Virgin Nanny in a State there will be something that will appeal to your pallet!
BBQ
We here at Brewdog are dedicated to Craft Beer/Food pairings and we will be stretching this to a new level with our Beer Festival BBQ. We will have beer infused meats, chutneys and sides for your munching pleasure!
Everyday 3pm-8pm
If you thought all the above was great then check this out!
Amazingly Rare, Stupendously Awesome Beers Everyday, Twice a Day.
Every day we will be introducing two very rarely seen beers onto our guest taps which will be on for that day only. This is an opportunity to be introduced to beers that you will perhaps never again see on tap! We get some awesome beers coming into the bars, and these are the best and the rarest. Do Not Miss It!!
Thursday 7pm and 9pm
Friday 8pm
Saturday 8pm and 10pm
See you there scamps!
