EDINBURGH BEER FACTORY The capital’s latest outbreak of beer culture is just a tram ride away One of the more striking arrivals on the craft beer scene in Scotland last year was Paolozzi lager, made by the Edinburgh Beer Factory and inspired by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, the Edinburgh-born sculptor and pop art pioneer. The state-of-the-art brewery where the Munich-style lager is made is located in Bankhead, and some of Paolozzi’s original artwork can be viewed during hour-long brewery tours that are now on offer for groups of up to 12. While the tours (£15 per head) have to be booked in advance, the site also incorporates a café-bar and a shop selling rei llable growlers. The factory is located just 100 yards from the Bankhead stop on one of those other local icons, the Edinburgh tram line. (Donald Reid) ■ edinburghbeerfactory.co.uk
