Submitted by Editor on Thu, 22/06/2023 - 08:31

After 12 years in business, staff at The Beerhive are releasing their first beer, made in collaboration with the Closet Brewing Project.

Edinburgh-based Closet Brewing are one of the smallest micro-breweries (if not the smallest) in the country. Their name derives from the fact that the very first beers they made were brewed in a closet in their home!

They have now scaled up to their kitchen and this is where Peter Sherry and Beehive colleagues brewed the beer with them a couple of months ago.
