In a recent article in The i Paper, Phil wrote: “Other cities might provide a similar variety, thanks to the craft revolution that’s brought new breweries and new beer styles to almost every corner of the UK. But I found Edinburgh to have the strongest sense of place. Whichever pub or bar, or taproom you’re in, you never forget you’re in Edinburgh.
“There’s a certain level of service there, a care for the customer and the beer, that I found to be consistently a notch above the rest. These are the venues that confirmed to me why the Scottish capital outshines all other towns and cities on a beer tour of Britain.”
After arriving at Waverley Station, Phil went on a tour of Auld Reekie's best boozers, describing it as a dream gig. Take a look through our photo gallery to see the ones that impressed him most.
