The Beerhive

The Beerhive is a beloved independent bottle shop nestled in Edinburgh’s Canonmills, offering a vibrant, ever-evolving selection of over 700 craft beers and 500 wines. Founded in 2011 by Peter Sherry—whose background in the drinks trade and travels through Europe’s vineyards shaped the shop’s ethos—it’s a place where quality, curiosity, and community come together. The shelves are thoughtfully stocked with everything from Belgian lambics to Scottish IPAs, natural wines, and small-batch spirits, with a focus on producers who care deeply about their craft. But The Beerhive is more than just a shop—it’s a hub. Daily tastings, Friday night meet-the-maker events, and a famously friendly team make it a welcoming space for both seasoned enthusiasts and curious newcomers. Whether you’re after a rare bottle, a local gem, or just a good chat about what’s fresh on the kegerator, The Beerhive delivers with warmth, knowledge, and zero pretension.
