Oktoberfest Comes to Brewhemia – Tartan Spoon
Despite the bad weather and shorter days, there is one thing worth celebrating this Autumn — Oktoberfest. Brewhemia has only been open in Edinburgh for one month, yet they are already ramping up for a month-long celebration of beer.
Boasting one of the UK’s largest selection of tank beer, this is set to be one amazing festival. It will feature many of the German traditions from German food to music and everything in-between.
