Cold Town Beer Brewery.
Where is it based? Edinburgh, with a main brewery on Dunedin Street and a microbrewery at Cold Town House in the Grassmarket. The brewery was named in honour of Calton Hill Brewery in Edinburgh, which was the first in Britain to brew lager in 1835.
What does it produce? Cold Town is a crisp, fresh, session-able and refreshing lager. We have brewed over 20 different beers in all to date. Styles include pale ales, IPA’s, pilsner, saison & berliner-weisse sour beers. The brewery uses Scottish Pale Malt from Crisp Malt in Alloa as the base malt across its range. The barley is 100 per cent Scottish and is sourced from the east coast. The maltings at Alloa date back to the 1890s.
Cold Town House As we rush to the nearest restaurant or pub it’s worth remembering that there’s not a meal or drink that can’t be improved by the accompaniment of a fantastic backdrop. Here are six of Scotland’s finest pubs with views.
1.The Pierhouse Port Appin, Loch Linnhe Tucked away on the shores of Loch Linnhe, The Pierhouse boasts sweeping views across to the Isles of Lismore and Mull. The charming original building dates back to the 19th century when it was a stopping-off point for steam vessels travelling between Oban and Fort William. Now a small hotel and seafood restaurant, its menus include Argyll langoustines and mussels, alongside oysters from Loch Creran. Take a seat on the terrace or find a place on the newly-created outdoor decking area for dinner and drinks this summer.
