Edinburgh’s award-winning Cold Town Brewery, one of Scotland’s leading craft microbreweries, is now on the lookout for Scotland’s biggest craft beer fan to put their taste buds to the ultimate test and give their seal of approval to its experimental new range, including the Pina Colada Sour and Pink Lemonade Sour.
Handcrafted in small batches, Cold Town Brewery’s existing range of seven craft beers already go through a rigorous testing process to make sure drinkers love them before they hit the taps in bars and pubs across the country.
Cold Town Brewery is now offering one lucky beer fan the chance to prove that they have tasting skills and passion for craft beer at the home of Cold Town Beer in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket.
The brewery’s honorary chief taster will go behind the scenes at Cold Town House and taproom to meet the head brewer and help launch this summer’s new range of beers. If they sell well on draught, the beers will also be made available to buy in cans and shipped anywhere in the UK.
Joined by a guest of their choice, Cold Town Brewery’s competition winner will also enjoy a complimentary overnight stay at Edinburgh’s luxury boutique hotel, The Rutland, as well as receiving Cold Town Beer merchandise and brews to take home.
Hayley Ransome, Head Brewer at Edinburgh’s Cold Town Brewery and Cold Town House, said:
“As one of Scotland’s most innovative microbreweries, we’ve decided to launch our first nationwide search for the country’s biggest craft beer fan. The winner will help develop our new summer beer range and put their tasting skills to the ultimate test.
“Our honorary chief taster will need to prove that have the ‘beer factor’ on Instagram to be in with a chance of winning the title. In return, our winner will go behind the scenes at the home of Cold Town Beer in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket, meet our head brewer and taste test our latest prototypes before they’re released to the public.”
Manager of Cold Town House, Jamie Napier, added:
“We make our entire range of Cold Town Beer freshly in our microbrewery and you can even enjoy a range of experimental and exclusive brews right here at Cold Town House.
“Since opening its doors in 2019, Cold Town House has quickly made its name as the home of Cold Town Beer, as well as one of Scotland’s most popular craft beer bars and live entertainment venues. We’re really proud to have our very own taproom and iconic roof terrace with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle.”
For a chance to be crowned Cold Town Brewery’s first honorary chief taster for summer 2024, craft beer fans from across Scotland are now being encouraged to post a short 10-second film clip on their personal Instagram feed to say why they should be selected. Entrants must tag Cold Town Beer:
