The Beer Kitchen: The art and science of cooking and pairing with beer

Product Information

Perfect for: If, like me, it has been a while since you last ventured down Ashton Lane, The Beer Kitchen offers something new to an area that was in need of a bit of a boost. So get some friends and go drink some great beer. We also have the barrel aging room where we plan to mature a range of different beers in miniaturised (virgin) oak barrels so you'll be able to go in and actually taste beer from an oak barrel and actually see the effect that it has on the flavour.

Sharp says the team will also be offering plenty of advice on food pairings and that if any customer wishes to know what a particular beer tastes like before they buy, they can try a small taster for free. First and foremost, we will be offering amazing beer. The whole reason we are here is that we love craft beer and we are excited to share that with everyone.

Guy Morgan, co-director of Morgan McDonnell, led the Beer Kitchen’s design and build. He said the idea was to be “upfront and honest” about the whole brewing process and to make it as open and visual as possible “to highlight the freshness of the beer and allow people to see that process happen.” This is indeed the Dundee Tap room for the Edinburgh based Innis and Gunn Brewery, and now that St Andrews Brewing have moved into town they have had a recent makeover to make the place more spacious and show case more of their beers in something more resembling a tap room environment. The brand's founder says the micro-brewery isn't the only new toy the bar will have to play around with. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

Head upstairs and the design shifts to a speakeasy-style Attic Bar – a late night venue that will also host live music and private functions. Apart from the toilets, which were completely refitted, Morgan says it was a case of enhancing what was already there. Some existing elements of the loft space remain, including the magnificent wood triangular bar which will serve Innis & Gunn “hoptails” and two craft beer fridges have been installed at We invest a lot in staff training making sure the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about everything we do here."The burger topped with Innis & Gunn pulled pork looked incredibly good and the clean wooden serving boards returning to the kitchen seemed evidence that it was. We'll also be teaming up with our local distillery Auchentoshan to use some of their casks to age our beer and there will even be some ready for the launch." So, whether the beer lover in your life prefers ice-cold larger, quirky craft IPAs or traditional ales, there is sure to be something here they’ll adore.
