Scotland’s oldest working brewery, Belhaven, has been named the Official Beer of the New York Tartan Day Parade and its related events, running from April 2nd – 10th, 2018.
Beers will be available at many neighbourhood bars throughout the City, with special tasting events lined up at selected venues throughout the week. Event details will be announced shortly.
On Saturday 7 April 2018, immediately following the Parade, mark your calendars now and plan to attend the Official Tartan Day Post Parade Party at the renowned BB Kings.
Full event details and announcements can be found on the official website at www.nyctartanweek.org
With Pipe Bands and Clans joining us from throughout the United States and Britain, the excitement is mounting.
The Edinburgh Reporter is already quite excited too about going to Tartan Week. We will bring you some exclusive photos and videos from New York. Are you going? If you are then get in touch and we will ensure that you and your group get some ‘local’ coverage.
If you are a Clan, Pipe Band or Organization, or a Piper or Drummer who would like to join the Mass band, you must register by going to the website.
The Parade is now the largest Scottish celebration of its kind in the United States.
The streets will be awash in tartan and the sound of the bagpipes from 44th to 55th Street on Sixth Avenue. The parade steps off at 2pm.
The National Tartan Day New York Committee thanks all the Pipe Bands and individual pipers and drummers who have joined them each year from our first days along a sidewalk, and then into Central Park – to their proud place on Sixth Avenue.
Belhaven’s range of beers available in the USA includes:
- Twisted Thistle IPA, a bold and juicy all-malt IPA with a bright grapefruit-zest aroma and a refreshingly bitter bite,
- Scottish Ale, a classic malty nut-brown ale with a biscuity aroma and smooth, rich flavour,
- Belhaven Black, a deep and distinctive Scottish stout with dark chocolate and coffee notes,
- Kilted Pilsner, a clean, crisp and refreshing pale lager beer brewed using classic continental brewing process and Scottish ingredients,
- Wee Heavy, a strong, sweet, rich and fruity ale. Christmas cake in a glass!
- Scottish Oat Stout, a dense and treacley stout with a profound depth of flavour and a silky smooth mouth feel.
