Are you Scotland’s biggest craft beer fan? 

One of Scotland’s leading craft microbreweries has launched a nationwide search to appoint an honorary chief taster to help develop its new summer beer range.

Cold Town Brewery, in Edinburgh, is 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.

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.

‘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,’ Hayley Ransome, Head Brewer said.

‘The winner will help develop our new summer beer range and put their tasting skills to the ultimate test.
