BEER FOR ART'S SAKE

Although it sounds Italian, our flagship beer is named after a Great Scot. Eduardo Paolozzi (1924 – 2005) was born in Edinburgh to Italian parents and is regarded as the founding father of Pop Art. From working in his parents’ sweet shop in Leith to teaching throughout the world – via a stint at Saughton prison during the war – Eduardo’s life was as varied and colourful as his work.

For us, he represents the brilliant creativity and international outlook of Edinburgh, and is someone who should be better known. His philosophy of transforming everyday objects into works of art – revealing the ‘sublime in the everyday’ – inspires our brewing, and our Paolozzi Helles and Untitled IPA proudly display his screenprints on their packaging.
