Edinburgh Craft Beer Festival has announced new October dates for this year’s event and a new outdoor venue; Outside at The Corn Exchange to adhere to Scottish government social distancing guidelines.
Taking place from Friday 9 – Saturday 10 October, Edinburgh Craft Beer Festival hopes to bring Edinburgh together to celebrate the flourishing craft beer scene in Scotland with a strong focus on local beers: Fierce, Vault City, 71 Brewing, and new kid on the block, Newbarns. Beers from some of the world’s most cutting-edge breweries will be shipped over by brewers unable to travel abroad including Equilibrium (NYC), which will be poured for thirsty revellers over the two-day festival.
Some of the hottest new UK breweries 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.
More than just a beer festival, ECBF2020 also promises to surprise and delight foodies with some of Scotland’s top restaurants and street food vendors serving up a tantalising array of culinary treats. Already confirmed is Edinburgh’s celebrated Harajuku Kitchen, serving up its authentic Japanese gyoza and Bross Bagels which will have a range of its Montreal style bagels available.
Tickets are priced from £46 and include entry, samples of beers from the breweries**, a special festival beer glass, access to the festival’s pop-up kitchens and music acts.
This is just a taster of what to expect, more breweries and food vendors will be announced at a later date. If for any reason a second lockdown is implemented and the festival is cancelled until 2021, tickets will automatically roll onto the 2021 or 2022 event.
