The Hanging Bat beer cafe opened on Lothian Road in Edinburgh in 2012. Since then it has become the major place in the city to try out an eclectic mix of craft beers.

We also have our very own brewing area where our brewer makes the finest ales, you won’t find these ales anywhere else in the world.

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - murky plum colour, unsurprisingly. Off white head. Nose - plum and apple. Light candied citrus note. Taste - edge of funk and tart followed by tart plum. Palate - medium bodied and tart with good length. Overall - has there been an accidental second fermentation here with the yeast on the fruit. Getting towards Brett. Is this intended by the brewer.
