Edinburgh Beer Factory | BUNK! Edinburgh Brown | John Drinks
In 1952 Eduardo Paolozzi delivered his ‘BUNK!’ lecture at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. Presenting “undervalued, underrated and misunderstood” materials from pop culture as collaged art, he blurred the divide between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forever. Imagery from Sci-Fi sat alongside pulp fiction and packaging, advertising and movie stars.
With our BUNK! series we’re looking to take underrated beer styles and re-present them to a new audience.
The World's End Pub in Edinburgh - Belhaven The World's End Cask Ale & Black Scottish Stout
The World's End pub, right on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland! This pub has a great selection of Belhaven brews and cheap (at least by UK standards) scotch whiskies! In this video we check out The World's End Cask Ale, which is brewed by Belhaven and likely a beer they brew commercially, as well as the Black Scottish Stout, also on cask. Enjoy the video!

Eating a Deep-Fried Mars Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland
On a quest to try a deep-fried Mars bar, we found a local chip shop in Edinburgh, Scotland that specialized in deep frying chocolate bars including Snickers bars and also Twix.
I remember seeing a program featuring Scotland nearly a decade ago where a deep-fried Mars bar was featured.

In my teenage years at the time, I thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea. I loved deep fried chips, battered fish and fried rice. Why not fry a chocolate bar?
Now that I look back in hindsight, I wonder if this was the rational of the chipper who first fried a Mars bar in the mid 90's in Stonehaven.
Little did he/she know what a phenomenon they would create.
Now nearly 1/4 of all chip shops in Scotland offer the option of deep frying a Mars bar (or any chocolate bar for that matter). Some even feature a dedicated fryer exclusive for the chocolate bars only. In popular tourist areas certain shops sell as many as 50-200 bars per week!
Hunting down a shop in Edinburgh was a little more tricky than it is in say Glasgow.
When I finally did locate a shop, I immediately noticed an impressive selection of different chocolate bars.
Upon the recommendation of the chipper I decided to go with a deep-fried Mars bar, deep-fried Snickers and deep-fried Twix.
Although this may sound glutinous to some, I felt a responsibility to report which bar was the best ;)
The kind owner let me into the back of the kitchen to film and learn the tricks of the trade first hand: You just stick it in the batter and shake it around. It's a secret recipe. Keep it in the fryer for 2-3 minutes. It's 170 degrees.
Before I knew it, I had four slabs of deep fried chocolate in my hands and it was time to experience a taste test. Audrey, feeling queasy from an upset stomach, left me to my own devices to sample all three for the two of us. Oh, what a pity ;)
I started off with the Mars bar. The first thing I noticed was that the bar appeared to have shrunk a bit in size and was a little flimsy from the melted chocolate inside. Upon taking my first bite I felt the crispiness of the deep fried batter give way to melted chocolate and caramel. This was so much better than just a regular bar on its own.
This is part of our Travel in Scotland series showcasing Scottish culture, Scottish arts, Scottish foods, Scottish religion and Scottish people.
What's your name? Sam. Sam how you doing man? We're doing a deep-fried snickers, a Twix and we've already done a Mars bar already. Awesome. I'm going to unwrap it. Stick it in the batter. I can't tell you that because it's my secret. Hahaha...secret recipe? Of course. The Twix. One. Two. Mix it around. Give it a little shake. We fry them separately. This is just for the Mars bars. Mars bars only. Awesome. So the temperature. This is 170 degrees. And while the batter cooks the chocolate will melt. So the batter will cook before the chocolate.
So we've been hearing lots about the Mars bars but Sam here went overboard and tried three different chocolate bars that have been deep fried. So what do you have? Well, at the recommendation of the guy at the chip shop. He recommended I also try the Snickers and the Twix bar, so we've got it all right here. Let's unwrap that. I don't want to drop it here. Okay. Let's see that thing of beauty. Isn't that gorgeous. Alright, so which is which? So I believe this is the Snickers. We've got the two Twixes here and that is the Mars bar. Alright. And you're feeling a little queasy today, so I'm going to be the one trying them all. And you can tell they really feel as though they've been deep-fried and melted. This is flimsy in the hand. Yeah, this is a Mars bar. I can tell from what is seeping out. Take a bite. Oh, Wow.
It's all melted inside. Okay, so you've tried all three. Which was our favorite? Definitely the Snickers. Why? Because I love Snickers bars and this just enhanced it. So, it's not surprising that taking something that is already unhealthy and making it even unhealthier would make it taste better.

Abandoned Brewery (Offices?) - 19th Century - Scotland, UK
This is a mixture of old and new. The older sections and wood paneling is really nice and I loved the staircase and the walk-in safe. Although my footage was a bit rushed as we thought there was someone else in the building, and there was a strong smell of weed coming from one of the rooms so didn't stay too long in here as it was late at night so left quite soon, just to be on the safe side! I'm guessing this was the office part to the main brewery.
