LAGRAD (Edinburgh)

Enjoy a pint of Stonewall? Fancy a Bear Ass? Would you go to a pub for a Blow Job? Is a march the second thing you think of when someone mentions London Pride?

Formerly known as Diverse Drinkers, we are the Edinburgh group of the Lesbian and Gay Real Ale Drinkers, CAMRA's Task Group for LGBT real ale and cider fans. Regular socials take place on the first Monday of the month at the Holyrood Tavern, Holyrood Road, from around 9pm. The pub, serves six real ales, typically Caledonian Deuchars IPA, Caledonian 80/-, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Greene King Old Speckled Hen, Orkney Dark Island and Heather Ale Fraoch. Pub crawls, trips to beer festivals and possibly even brewery visits are planned.

With the loss of real ale from the only gay venue in Scotland selling the stuff, campaigning might well be within our remit - input is especially welcomed at the moment. Contact John to discuss the matter over a pint or two. Mine's a Ginger Minge.
