BARNEY'S Beer, the craft beer operation based at Edinburgh's Summerhall arts venue, has created a new brew to honour Scottish band Idlewild and their new album, EverythingEver Written. The beer is entitled Barney's Idlewild Scottish Fiction IPA and the label carries the legend Hops is Important as a nod to the band's longest-serving fans. It will be available, in a limited edition of 1250 bottles, from February 16, the day of release of the album, Idlewild's eight and the first from the group in five years. The mix of Scottish malt is intended to mirror the band's musical influences and the name is that of an Edwin Morgan poem the band featured on their The Remote Part album.
Frontman Roddy Woomble said: "Idlewild are a band of committed and enthusiastic craft beer and ale drinkers, and Barney's Beer has been a favourite for quite a while."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
