More About Pilot Idris Melba

The ever-popular Peach Melba Sour has just cause for sibling envy here. Double the malt, fresh peach & raspberry, plus extra vanilla sweetness. A fruit-crush named after everyone's favourite man-crush and clearly we've violated our strict no puns policy. Just this once

Meet the Producer, Pilot Brewery

Pilot Brewery

Style: Brewery

Edinburgh’s beer scene has increasingly moved beyond traditional cask ale and into a much broader mix of modern brewing styles, and Pilot were one of the breweries helping push that shift early on.

Founded in Leith, the brewery built its reputation through approachable modern styles, particularly pale ales, lagers and mixed fermentation beers that favour balance and drinkability over sheer intensity. The beers tend to feel thoughtful without becoming overly serious about themselves, which suits Edinburgh quite well.

The pale ales usually carry soft tropical fruit and citrus character while keeping bitterness intact rather than disappearing completely into haze. The lagers are particularly good too. Clean, crisp and properly structured in a way that quietly demonstrates good technical brewing underneath the more relaxed branding.

Pilot also spent time experimenting with barrel ageing, sour beer and fermentation projects without abandoning the core idea that beer should still be enjoyable by the pint rather than merely admired in tiny pours.

Leith itself has become one of the more interesting food and drink areas in Scotland over recent years, full of breweries, distilleries, wine bars and slightly damp converted industrial buildings. Pilot fits naturally into that environment. Modern but unpretentious. Creative without trying too hard to become an “experience”.
