Another epic year at Midsummer Beer Happening festival in Stonehaven. Probably the best beer festival in the world? We don’t know, we haven’t been to them all but this is definitely a favourite of ours.

Thanks to all the Six°North team, our INCREDIBLE volunteers and everyone who tolerated us for a weekend.

Also shoutout to Two Towns Down Brewing for bringing a Television 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️

🇩🇪 DUNKEL 🇩🇪

Made with a host of Scottish & German malts and speciality Bavarian Lager yeast. This is a continental style of beer we’ve been wanting to make for a long time.

A malt forward, dark, crisp, toasty lager with a satisfying dry finish.

Available now on our webshop, in the brewery shop and pouring exclusively from Friday at and at the gala day spectacular!!

Canning line fixed!

We often say the term “craft beer” is defined by not having all the equipment you need.

Tough couple of weeks here at Pilot HQ with some canning line issues.

Does the man in this photo look like an engineer? Because he is not.

Shout out to Pat, Matt and the production team for working extra hard and getting it fixed!

We’ve got a back log of new beers coming to you this week, and thanks for all of our customers for your patience!

WE FIXED THE CANNING MACHINE

When I say we*, not the guy doing the social media.. but the guys who know how that stuff work.

POST PINK - our tribute to THE DEATH OF THE CRAFT BEER REVOLUTION or something like that… who cares.

Lots of Pink Stuff going on, Grapefruit, Salt and Peppercorns. Absolute flavour BOMB. Saltier than the North Sea and as sour a craft beer equity investor.

Also, we also only managed to can half of it, so it’s rare.
Clever marketing stunt? Hell yeah punk rock.

Our collab with Edinburgh legends returns!

We’ve brewed up a tribute to the mighty ANZAC biscuit—oats, golden syrup, and toasted coconut, all packed into a beer that’s rich, roasty, and ridiculously drinkable.

Finished off this year with Antipodean hops Eclipse, Vic Secret & Rakau as a nod to our pals down under 🇦🇺🇳🇿

Available now from our webshop or exclusively on Keg & Cask at The Bow Bar

NEW BEER RELEASE..... Mostly

We've a new recipe on the scene this week!

POST PINK 4.8% - Triple Pink Gosé

While POST PINK Itself may not be pink, three rose-tinted additions work in perfect harmony with each other, bringing zen-like balance to the acidity of this delicious Leith Gosé; tangy pink grapefruit, warming pink peppercorns and salty pink salt

It's a POST PINK REVOLUTION

Here's the catch... We're still very much a small operation and pride ourselves on doing everything in house. We've had a mechanical issue with our canning machine this week and will have to postpone Post Pink cans for the foreseeable.

However, kegs are pouring tonight at and the at the grand opening of and will be going out to trade next week.

A super rare pint indeed!
