Rare Find's fourth Beer vs Whisky tasting event, pitting Fierce Beer against Rare Find Whisky at Fierce Beer.
Rare Find are back at Fierce Beer on Monday 26 October for their fourth Beer vs Whisky event. The format is a tasting that pits the two against each other, and it leans on Edinburgh's dual reputations for brewing and distilling. It's a simple enough premise: you'll be tasting beer and whisky side by side, and the night is built around that comparison.
It's the fourth time Rare Find have run this particular setup, so it's a returning format rather than a one-off. The whole thing sits within the wider Edinburgh whisky scene, which they describe as a blend of tradition and modernity. Across the city, that scene takes a lot of shapes: tastings, masterclasses and tours spread over everything from cosy pub function rooms and dedicated food and drink spaces to basement clubs and arts centres. It's a broad church, aimed at enthusiasts and novices alike, and this night fits right into that mix.
If you've never been to a Rare Find event before, this is a good place to start. You don't need to be a connoisseur to get something out of it; it's as much about having a drink and a chat as it is about the tasting itself. The Beer vs Whisky format lets you see how the two hold up next to each other, and since it's the fourth time they've done it, they've got the rhythm of the evening down.

It runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Fierce Beer, so it's a weekday evening that doesn't run too late. Tickets are £20. If you're into either beer or whisky — or just fancy seeing how they stack up against each other — it's a straightforward way to spend a Monday night in the city.
