Food & Drink, Drink & Tastings.
Pitt Street Market and Barney's Beer are teaming up to bring an all Edinburgh inspired Oktoberfest to Leith. Last year The Pitt hosted its inaugural version of the Munich event, but with this year's German outing cancelled, the Leith based market will return to celebrate the capital's own city brewers instead with a smaller, socially distanced event over three weekends. Mirroring a similar model to Oktoberfest which features six breweries from that city, The Pitt will feature six from within Edinburgh's city limits. Serving up in steins; Barney's Beer and Campervan will be there to provide their own taste of Bavaria with new beers created especially for the event, and New Barns - Scotland's newest brewery - make their Festival debut joining Bellfield, Edinburgh Beer Factory and Pilot to bring a quality taste of home-brewed beer to locals and visitors making the most of this year's unique staycation season. The best in the Scottish street food scene will be back with some German inspired dishes to provide the perfect pairings for your pints: think bratwurst and then some! Plus plenty of veggie, vegan and gluten free options. In keeping with The Pitt Street Market's existing safety measures, advance bookings are recommended to ensure your table. The capacity has been reduced to accommodate social distancing measures and there's no need to get up with table service, so no busy bar queues. We'll prost to that! The festival will take place every Friday to Sunday over three weekends of 18-20 September, 25-27 September and 2-4 October. For more info, visit thepitt.co.uk.
