Vegan and gluten free beer from Scotland

by

I’m a big beer fan and I love sharing brewed news with you, especially when it’s an independent business behind the scenes.

The good people of Bellfield Brewery in Edinburgh, Scotland make vegan-certified beer and they sell it online for shipping all around the UK.

And extra news?

All the beer from Bellfield is also certified gluten free.

Bellfield sent me a bunch of their beers to try and I currently have them chilling in the fridge!

You can order for UK delivery from the Bellfield online shop.

New vegan eatery in Edinburgh

by

There is a brand new vegan eatery set to open in the Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh, Scotland.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi6UqT2lzXD/

Thrive Cafe:Bar is all a bit top secret at the moment ahead of its August 2018 opening, but this is what I have been able to work out from snooping around on social media:

  • the food and drinks menus will be 100% vegan
  • will feature a wine list
  • they promise exciting craft brews
  • Thrive is hiring staff

Yes, that is correct. If you are looking for a vegan job in Scotland, Thrive might be the right fit for you.

The new cafe and bar is looking for an assistant manager, supervisors, waiting staff, bar staff, a sous chef, a line chef, commis chefs, and kitchen porters.

You can follow Thrive on Facebook and Instagram, and email team@thrive-edinburgh.co.uk if you are interested in a position with this new eatery.

Excitement!

There is a brand new vegan venue opening TOMORROW (Friday June 23, 2017) in the Scottish capital and it’s called Harmonium Bar and Kitchen. This is so very exciting.

Brought to you by the team behind such legendary Glasgow hotspots like Mono, Stereo, The Flying Duck, The Old Hairdresser’s and The 78, Harmonium is set to inject a whole lot of vegan tastiness and vibrancy into the Edinburgh neighbourhood of Leith.

Check out the happy team and the gorgeous work being done on the interiors.


It should also be noted that the head chef of Mono in Glasgow is in charge of this new Edinburgh endeavour so you know food and flavours are going to be world class. Comfort food is the name of the game with exciting and nutritious dishes also taking up a lot of the menu.

Get along as soon as you can to be a part of this new vegan location.
