Raise a glass to Edinburgh’s Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival this October
Edinburgh’s 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.

Ruth Reid, Brand & Marketing Manager at Cold Town Brewery, said:
“We’ve gone bigger and better with more tickets on sale and amped up the live music with a five-piece brass band for this autumn’s Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival.
“We’re really excited to be welcoming a fantastic line-up of breweries to the home of brewing in Edinburgh. Time and again, this event has proven to be a brilliant celebration of the Scottish craft beer community, and this year’s edition is no exception.
“If the lineup is anything to go by, it’s set to be another standout occasion. We’re also buzzing to host an amazing selection of live acts, including Jono Connelly and the Brass Rats.
“It’s shaping up to be a showstopper of a day filled with great beer, great music, and great vibes—and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
Andrew McKnight, Vice Chairman and CEO of Harviestoun Brewery, said:
“We’re excited to be participating at the Grassmarket Craft Beer Festival this year and look forward to bringing some old favourites and maybe a couple of newer brews. It will be great to catch up with some other breweries too. Thanks to Cold Town for the invite!”
