Behind the scenes at unique Edinburgh pub named Scotland's Beer Destination of the Year - Cold Town House

We went behind the scenes at the unique Edinburgh pub recently named Scotland's Beer Destination of the Year - Cold Town House in the Grassmarket.

The iconic Edinburgh Castle-view bar was awarded the top accolade by a panel of brewing industry experts from across the country earlier this month at this year’s Scottish Beer Awards.
