Pilot Beer

Edinburgh's most consistently excellent craft brewery. Pilot started in a railway arch in Leith and has grown into one of Scotland's most respected modern breweries. Their lagers are the quiet standout — clean, crisp, and brewed with the kind of care that most Scottish breweries reserve for IPAs. Leith Juice (a hazy NEIPA) is the headline beer, but the Vienna Lager and Blonde are what you'll keep coming back to. The Leith tap room is one of Edinburgh's best drinking spots: industrial-chic, fresh tank pours, regular street food pop-ups. Everything Pilot makes is available direct from the brewery and from specialist bottle shops across Edinburgh.
