Edinburgh’s Craft Beer Experience will take place at the Assembly Roxy from 31st October to 2nd November and will offer guests a top line-up of more than 20 breweries.

Boasting the likes of local legends Tempest Brewing Co, Cross Borders, Campervan and Pilot, as well as Scottish superstars Six Degrees North, Fallen and 71 Brewing, this year’s event promises to be even bigger and better than last years.

The festival’s aim is to showcase the best local and Scottish produce, so is not limited to just beer — there will be a cocktail bar featuring delicious concoctions made with Scottish spirits, three street food vendors serving up dishes that use the finest local and seasonal ingredients, and a packed programme of masterclasses hosted by industry experts, plus entertainment from local DJs in the Main Hall.

Edinburgh Craft Beer Experience sessions will take place on the following dates and times:

Thursday 31st October - evening: 17:30 - 23:00
