Organisers behind Edinburgh's Oktoberfest have been forced to destroy 7,000 litres of beer after Storm Amy cancelled the event. ‌

The beer festival was due to take place at the weekend but events on Friday and Saturday were called off at the last minute as elements from Storm Amy gripped the country. ‌

It was anticipated the event could be postponed to the end of the month, however, ticket holders have recently been told the festival won't proceed until next year. ‌

Those who bought tickets for this year’s Oktoberfest will be able to roll their tickets over to 2026. In an update online, organisers told how they will be forced to destroy thousands of litres of beer, bratwurst and schnitzel due to not having insurance.
