Description
Craft Beer Kitchen is a Nanobrewery that produces small batch one off beers to trade. Craft Beer kitchen also operates as a brew it yourself home brewery run by Stewart Brewing. Members of the public can come along and brew their own beer to take home in your very own personalised bottles!

The Craft Beer Kitchen team will guide you through the brewing process from start to finish. From choosing a brew date to bottling and collecting your brand new creation. We will ensure that your Brewday is both fun filled and smooth sailing. Then it is over to you to stick your beer in the fridge and perhaps most importantly, toast your success!

Whether a complete beer novice or a self-proclaimed beer geek, we can promise that the Craft Beer Kitchen will be a unique and unforgettable experience. Having booked your brewday either online or by phone, you will be faced with the rather tricky challenge of choosing what beer you would like to brew. From a fruity, hoppy pale ale to a Belgian Tripel, we have over sixty delicious beery delights for you to decide between. Then comes the part where you get your hands dirty. Under the Brewmaster’s watchful and experienced eye, you will begin your step by step brewing process. The only thing that Craft Beer Kitchen team will do is ensure that your beer ferments and carbonates as required so that it is ready for when you return in 2 – 3 weeks for your hands-on/rather unglamorous bottling shift. The rest is down to you!

Keg at the Southern. Pours clear golden orange, big bubbly head. Aromas of yeast and light spice. Taste is where the carrot is at. Nice. Orange bitterness, kind of like a carrot and coriander soup, mixed with beer, in a good way.

On tap at The Southern, Edinburgh, Saturday 15th March Pours warm gold wonderfully clear, sparklingly clear in fact slim white head atop. Nose is a little muffled initially but the hops do show. Hoppy, bitter but sweet, tastes quite strong (which it is) warming. Good IPA, but could be better. A7 A4 T6 P3 Ov14 3.5

On tap at The Southern, Edinburgh, Saturday 15th March Pours hazy thin blood red colour with mid carbonation. Tangy and sour berries in mouth but the nose is giving off sweetish notes, I’m getting a bit of blackcurrant cheesecake. Wonderfully refreshing and very enjoyable little tart at finish. V.good.
