Edinburgh’s iconic Cold Town House has announced the return of its popular craft beer festival in the city’s Grassmarket on Saturday 4th October to help celebrate Scotland’s thriving independent craft beer scene.

Following the success of its beer festivals over the past two years, Cold Town House is now gearing up to welcome back hundreds of craft beer fans from across the country in the heart of the capital from 12pm to 6pm.

The Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival promises to deliver a fun and vibrant experience, with 10 Scottish craft breweries showcasing their finest seasonal drinks.

This year’s line-up features some new faces, including Falkirk’s Not That California Brewing Company; Thistly Cross from East Lothian; Harviestoun Brewery and Williams Brothers from Clackmannanshire; and Edinburgh’s Walkie Talky Brewing.

Edinburgh’s Closet Brewing and Moonwake Brewing will also be returning for the October event.

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 enjoy some of their famous street food and Neapolitan pizzas, whilst also enjoying live music courtesy of Jono Connelly and the Brass Rats.

Tickets are £15 per person and include entry, a Grassmarket Beer Festival tote bag, and a reusable festival cup.
