Get out of the House this Christmas

8/12/2022

 
Picture the scene, it is the 27th of December, the turkey is almost finished and you are about ready to stop sitting around. This happens every year and there is almost always a family debate about what you should do. This year, why not skip the debate and head out to one of Scotland's freshest beer bars, taprooms or kitchens and extend the festivities just that wee bit longer.

Bellfield Brewery Taproom

Are you based in or around Edinburgh? Get yourself along to the Bellfield Brewery Taproom and Beer Garden in Abbeyhill this Christmas.  As well as making top-notch, drinkable, delicious beers which happen to be the perfect accompaniment to food (which they also serve), Bellfield pride themselves on producing gluten-free, Coeliac Society UK certified beers! This means that if you are Coeliac, you don't have to miss out on the beer fun this Christmas... Pop down around the holidays to enjoy their delightful range of IPAs, lagers and ales; there's something for everyone!

The Griffin

Celebrating it's recent re-opening in Glasgow earlier this year, The Griffin provides the ideal warm, cosy and friendly atmosphere that everyone is looking for around the Christmas holidays.  The Griffin has been taken over by the Isle of Skye Brewing Co. and so is now sporting a great range of their own beers behind the bar, including some quality cask ales along with some fantastic draughts.  Located right across the street from the King's Theatre, The Griffin would make the perfect pre-theatre pub for your festive night out in Glasgow.

OGV Taproom 

If you're kicking about in the Granite City this Christmas and looking for somewhere to drop in for a few beers, stop by the OGV Taproom located not far from Aberdeen train station.  The OGV Taproom offer great beers made using locally sourced ingredients, so why not support a local, small business while you're out for drinks with your friends and family? Originating from an energy company, these brewers launched in the middle of the pandemic, but have made it through and have some fantastic beers to show for it.  Their taproom is also dog-friendly so bring along your furry friends...

Food & Drink Gift Ideas from the Scottish Borders

25/11/2022

 
The Scottish Borders does not always spring to mind when you think about the best Scottish food. A lot of people probably think of Aberdeen Angus beef, some fresh Perthshire veg or Edinburgh Gin. Well, here at ScotBeer, we love The Borders, and we are here to give you food and drink recommendations from the Scottish Borders that should be on your 2022 gifting list.

Borders Distillery

Perfect for the spirit lover in your family, the Borders Distillery produce not only whisky, but gin and vodka using locally sourced barley.  The distillery opened in 2018, making it the first distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837! Located along the Teviot river in the picturesque Borders, they offer distillery tours complete with tasters! If you would rather purchase some of their products as a warming Christmas present, visit their website where they have some festive gift packages available…

Left Field Kombucha

If you are looking to stray away from the stronger alcoholic drinks which come out during the festive season, how about considering kombucha as an alternative? First of all, what is kombucha? Well, it is essentially tea, sugar and water that has been fermented by yeast and bacteria.  With trace amounts of alcohol, kombucha is a great low sugar, low calorie, healthy soft tea drink which contains health-beneficial nutrients.  Left Field Kombucha provide a fantastic range of different flavours and styles of kombucha which have been made with particular focus on taste and quality. We definitely recommend checking Left Field Kombucha out if you are looking for new and different gift ideas this year.  Choose from many options on their website or their stockists, purchase a taster pack or even treat someone you love to a subscription box!
