THE Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has announced its headline sponsorship with Innis & Gunn, which will allow audiences to enjoy a beer on the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade for the first time.
As presenting partner, the Edinburgh-based brewer will provide a bar service for every performance from August 5-23, including the opportunity to pre-order before the event and collect on arrival.
Drinks on offer will include Innis & Gunn’s beers ‘The Original’, a single malt whisky cask matured Scottish beer, and ‘Innis & Gunn Lager’, brewed with naked golden oats for smoothness. Innis & Gunn’s bars will also offer red wine, white wine, prosecco and soft drinks alongside their premium beers.
In addition to the recommended pre-order and collect service, Innis & Gunn’s bars will also be available across the venue before the show starts.
Buster Howes, chief executive of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, said: “The Tattoo and Innis & Gunn are both Edinburgh-based, proudly Scottish and loved around the world.
“Those are several reasons of many, why this partnership is such a happy fit. Quality, authenticity, innovation, originality, and creativity are shared qualities.
“What better way to enjoy a world-class spectacular, than with a cold beer in hand for the first-time in the Show’s history, in the majestic Castle Esplanade setting.”
Dougal Gunn Sharp, founder of Innis & Gunn, added: “We are all incredibly proud to be partnering with The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, giving people the chance to revel in everything that is great about Edinburgh in August; iconic beers and an iconic show at Scotland’s most iconic setting, Edinburgh Castle.
“Our shared global audience and clearly aligned values make this a natural partnership and we are excited to be able to bring a new dimension to the show this year, offering our award-winning beers to the thousands of attendees each night, a first at the Castle.
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo will make its return this 5-27 August, with its Voices Show which celebrates expression and the power of connection through spoken word, song, music, and dance.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
