Edinburgh Gold

Edinburgh Gold is a refreshing, balanced, and full-flavoured golden ale that captivates with its sophistication and rich colour. Pouring a deep gold with a crisp white head, this ale offers a complex aroma of noble hops and a touch of caramel sweetness. With continental hops and moderate bitterness delivering a smooth, satisfying finish.

What is a golden ale?
A golden ale is a light, easy-drinking beer style known for its golden colour, subtle malt sweetness, and gentle hop bitterness. It’s often brewed with pale malts and European or American hops, making it a perfect gateway beer for lager drinkers looking to explore the world of ales.

The name “Edinburgh Gold” pays tribute to the legendary HMS Edinburgh, a Royal Navy cruiser that sank in 1942 while carrying a cargo of Soviet gold intended to pay for wartime supplies. Resting in the icy depths of the Barents Sea, the ship became the subject of one of the most daring and successful deep-sea salvage operations in history. In 1981, divers recovered over 400 gold bars, an incredible story of resilience and reward that mirrors the richness of this ale.

Perfect for those who appreciate golden ales, balanced bitterness, and a taste of history in every sip.

Mini Cask Information

Each mini cask contains 5 litres of fresh cask beer.

How to Use Your Mini Cask

1. Settle Your Cask
Place the mini cask on a sturdy, level surface in a cool spot (around 12°C) with enough space to fit a glass underneath.
Do not refrigerate — serving too cold will deactivate the yeast and result in a flat beer.

Allow the cask to settle for at least 12 hours. We recommend up to 24 hours for best results.
If the cask is moved or disturbed at any point, it will need to re-settle.

2. Vent the Cask
Pull up the red ring pull on top and turn the ventilation tap one quarter turn in the direction of the arrow.
Let the cask sit for another 30 minutes.

3. Pour Your Beer
Without moving the cask, pull out the dispensing tap at the bottom and turn it (in the direction of the arrow) to pour.

4. Storing After Opening
Enjoy your beer and close the ventilation tap when you’re not pouring.
Once the cask has been vented, please drink within 7 days.
