Open air artisan food and drink market Neighbourgood is returning to Edinburgh’s Stockbridge area this summer, with local craft brewer Cold Town Beer as its official partner.
Neighbourgood, which this year runs from May 7 to July 27, is the brainchild of hospitality entrepreneurs Preston Mommsen and Edward Wilson.
Since its inception in 2020, it has become one of the largest outdoor events of its kind in the city, attracting tens of thousands of visitors to its offer of Scottish food and drink suppliers, and live music.
This year’s market, taking place on the sports fields by Portgower Place, behind Raeburn Place, will also feature large TV screens showing major sporting events such as Wimbledon.
The deal with Cold Town Beer will see the firm supply signature beers such as its Crisp Craft Lager, Baltic IPA, and Session Pale Ale at the event. There will also be capacity to showcase other beer types from the brewer, which is based in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket.
The partnership was described as the ’latest milestone on the rapid growth trajectory’ of Cold Town Beer.
Business development and sales manager Irma Jansen said: “We’re thrilled to be joining the Neighbourgood Market, bringing Cold Town Beer to the heart of Stockbridge alongside an incredible line-up of local businesses.
“As a proudly Edinburgh-based brewery, it’s an honour to be part of such a well-loved event that celebrates the best of our city.
“We can’t wait to serve our products to both existing and new Cold Town Beer customers, helping bring people together to create new memories – hopefully in the sunshine.”
Event founder Wilson said: “We are very excited to partner with Cold Town Beer at the Neighbourgood Market. Their team brings a breadth of energy and experience, as well as sharing our brand values.
“We love to showcase the best of Edinburgh and Scottish brands and products, and Cold Town Beer is a prime example of this.
“We’re very excited about this partnership and look forward to sharing it with customers and the community down here in Stockbridge. We have a fresh and exciting events line-up this summer, and we can’t wait to get started.”
Cold Town House and Cold Town Brewery are owned and operated by the Edinburgh-based Signature Group.
