The Edinburgh Craft Beer Festival is back this summer, and set to be bigger and better than ever.
Taking place from Friday 17 – Saturday 18 July at The Biscuit Factory, the Edinburgh Craft Beer Festival will offer up a huge selection of beers from some of the world’s top names in brewing, including Scottish brewers: Fierce, Tempest, Pilot and Vault City. English breweries travelling North for the festival will include The Kernel, Verdant and North Brew Co.
Also taking part are international representatives like Mikkeller from Denmark, The White Hag brewed in Ireland, Collective Arts from Canada, Dugges travelling from Sweden, and even the likes of Stone & Wood from Australia.
Some of the hottest new breweries on the block will be showcasing their products at the festival, which celebrates the best beer in all its forms: from sour beers and IPA’s to low ABV beers.
As well as this, a bespoke festival beer brewed in collaboration with Tempest Brew Co will also be available exclusively over the weekend.
And, following last year’s stellar line-up of music acts, which included a DJ set from Belle & Sebastian and Gentleman’s Dub Club Sound System, this year’s festival will welcome more top-class performers to keep crowds entertained all weekend.
