Pub Tour of Edinburgh: Discounts

Hail!

As the posters around Edinburgh, on the facebook event page and on this very site may have alerted you, there will a special offers afforded to us by several pubs on the route.

Those of you joining us on this journey into ale will be issued with Ale to the Kingcards that will prove to staff at participating pubs that you are entitled to these discounts.

I’ll print off enough for all who have signed up as definitely coming, so you won’t have to be sharing around.

Ale to the King/CamRGB Pub Guide to Edinburgh: Stagger(ered/ing) Eating

Hail!

A quick note regarding eating during Monday’s Ale to the King/CamRGB Live Pub Guide to Edinburgh.

Due to the unexpectedly high turn out for our event (THANK YOU) the charming little pubs on the route have told me they simply don’t have the room to cater for all of us all at once!

Ale to the King knows that, thankfully, people usually don’t want to eat all at the same time, so we’d ask you to eat at whatever pub you like. After all, we’re advising a hearty breakfast and there’ll be free chips early on from the Malt and Hops!

I also ask if you could order your meal with your pint straight away so we can keep on some semblance of a timetable, that would be a gargantuan help to the event!

My thanks, not only in this but to all those who have signed up through the various ways!

I honestly can’t wait for this event and to meet those I haven’t before and be reacquainted with those I have!

Time: 11AM
Place: Teuchter’s Landing, 1C Dock Place, Leith, Edinburgh

“Quaintest thoughts, queerest fancies come to life and fade away. What care I how time advances; I am drinking ale today.” – Edgar Allan Poe

Ale to the King in association with CamRGB are staging a royal coup.

This bank holiday may be in honour of one particular woman, but there’s a better reason to celebrate these extra free days. So ready yourselves ale lovers! Join Ale to the King on the 4th of June for a leisurely afternoon of quaffing only the finest real ale in Edinburgh’s most welcoming drinking establishments.

Join us for an afternoon (and, let’s face it, evening) voyaging to some of Ale to the King’s top ten best real ale pubs Edinburgh has to offer. Meet fellow ale lovers, talk ale and try something new – with discounts and special offers along the way.

Have a hearty breakfast then get yourself down to Teuchter’s Landing at the Shore for an 11am kick off. Wear comfy beer boots, because we’ll be taking in lots of the city and remember to bring a mere £1.40 for a bus ride we have planned.
Cider/whisky/gin/whateverthehellyouwanttodrink lovers also welcome, but we think you really should give ale a try – because it’s great.

Just sign-up at the official Facebook Event Page, e-mail us at robertjbayley@gmail.com or give us a Tweet or Direct Message!

While there are discounts on offer from pubs this is a totally free event which Ale to the King, CamRGB and the pubs  have arranged purely in the spirit of promoting great craft beer culture, no matter where its brewed or served.

One final note – remember to pace yourself, you don’t want to miss any of the fun now do you?

It might be Queenie’s big day, but on Monday 4th June we’ll be saying – Ale to the King!

Join us on the day by joining our Facebook Event Page, Tweeting us or e-mailing: robertjbayley@gmail.com

Alevengers Assemble

“There was an idea… to bring together a group of remarkable drinkers, so that when we needed them, they could sup the ales that others never could.” ~ Nick Früli.

Tonight details will be unveiled of the very first event brought to you by Ale to the King in association with CamRGB.

On June 4th, let’s celebrate the true royal sovereign of the state.

Ale to the King is now on Untappd!

You can now connect with Ale to the King on Untappd! 

This great social app, which looks to have been around for a year or so, has only just come to my attention, but I can already see myself becoming addicted.

The idea is that of a digital beer log and ranking system. You can connect with friends from all over the world to swap and compare notes on whatever ales you’re supping that very moment. Along the way you can unlock special badges depending on what you drink and special times of the year… at least those are ones I’ve discovered, I’m sure there are plenty more!

So fire up the Android (or Lumia or iphone or Blackberry or…) download the free app and join us for a session of e-drinking.

Good deal!

A Spitfire pint glass and bottle of the beer itself for £3.49 from Aldi. If you’re a fan of the beer and want yourself a nice bit of glass to drink it from get down there; they’re sure to sell out soon.
