Blond

Peach Melba

Sour
4.3% ABV
VG

Quickly becoming an Edinburgh icon, our Peach Melba Sour is a lip-smacking sour beer inspired by the popular pudding of yore. Full of peach, raspberry & vanilla, and now (like all our beers) lactose-free – great news for both vegans and cows.

Pilot Beer

Pilot Beer

Vienna Pale

Pale
4.6% ABV
VG
GF

Our Vienna Pale is the ideal gateway beer, sitting somewhere between a malty Vienna lager and an old-school US pale. While it may annoy a certain corner of the beer internet, it's a nailed-on crowd-pleaser.

Tempest Brewing Co

Tempest Brewing Co

Long White Cloud

NZ Pale Ale
5.3% ABV
VG
GF

This is where it all began... a garage in New Zealand, some local hops, a small cobbled together kit and against all odds an icon was born. Those same hops, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka are still present and correct in this, our love letter to the land of the long white cloud. Carrying all the freshness of a kiwi sauvignon blanc, this is a beer you will keep coming back to.

Two Towns Down

Two Towns Down

Yes Sir, I Can Boogie

Lager
4% ABV

Brewed in collaboration with the Tartan Army charity 'The Sunshine Appeal' with 5% of proceeds donated to the cause. Brewed with Lager malt, Cara pils, Wheat and Chit malt for a crisp refreshing lager with good head retention.

Two Towns Down

Two Towns Down

Peacock Suit

Hazy IPA
5% ABV
VG

This full-bodied hazy really shows off new American hop strain Krush in all its tropical, zesty glory. This brew was originally part of our 'Stuck In The Middle With' single-hop showcase series but it's been so popular we felt it deserved its own identity, this time in honour of the Modfather himself, Paul Weller.

Strangers Brewing Co

Strangers Brewing Co

Suntrap

Blonde
5% ABV
VG

Brewed with pale ale malt, fermented with ale yeast and then conditioned like a lager, Suntrap is the best of both worlds. A crisp, refreshing, light blonde beer that tastes like summer all year round. Suntrap was inspired by a trip to Cologne in Germany, where their local beer – Kölsch – is drunk everywhere. It's fermented at a lower temperature than is usual for a pale ale, and then cold-conditioned to bring out a clean, lager-like flavour.
