The Venue
Innis & Gunn’s Beer Kitchen on Lothian Road is the Edinburgh brewery’s own bar and restaurant, pouring their range alongside a full food menu. It is a comfortable, central spot that works as much for a meal as for a dedicated beer session.
Brew School
The stand-out here is the Brew School experience, a hands-on session where you learn how beer is made and try your hand at the process with guidance from the brewing team. It is a good rainy-day activity and a genuine step beyond simply drinking, so it books up and needs reserving in advance.
Practical Tips
- Book the Brew School experience well ahead
- Full food menu makes it easy to pair beer with a meal
- Central Lothian Road location
- A good indoor option on a wet Edinburgh day
