Cold Town Brewery, in Edinburgh, is on the lookout for Scotland’s biggest craft beer fan to put their taste buds to the ultimate test and give their seal of approval to its experimental new range, including the Pina Colada Sour and Pink Lemonade Sour. Handcrafted in small batches, Cold Town Brewery’s existing range of seven craft beers already go through a rigorous testing process to make sure drinkers love them before they hit the taps in bars and pubs across the country.

Joined by a guest of their choice, Cold Town Brewery’s competition winner will also enjoy a complimentary overnight stay at Edinburgh’s luxury boutique hotel, The Rutland, as well as receiving Cold Town Beer merchandise and brews to take home.
