On entering it is a spacious and cosy looking bar that is definitely suited for tourists with a collection of beer mats almost being used as wallpaper to cover most of the free space behind the bar, some of which I had never even heard of! The decor and feel to the sitting area itself is traditional with a modern fusion, little tweaks like old spirit bottles (JD mainly) being used as candle holders are excellent to the vibe of the place and really let you settle happily in to one of the booths and take the surroundings in. We went in here because my better half was feeling hungry (I was saving myself for the North Berwick Fry which is just next door to the Ship Inn, in hindsight I should have eaten here) and decided to pop in here for a drink & a bit of lunch/dinner, we definitely weren't disappointed. A chicken and bacon burger was ordered and a chicken and bacon burger it was. Where the chicken that this chicken breast came from I don't know but it was definitely doing some serious weightlifting and bulking up. It was MASSIVE, in all it's chickeny beauty I found it hard to resist taking a huge bite out of the burger. Long stoy short, I ended up taking a huge bite out of the burger. The chicken was beautifully juicy for general pub grub and the bacon was lovely, sweet but slightly salted which gelled all the flavours of the breaded chicken and the toasted roll together. Thinking about it now, I'm getting hungry again. Every time I have a pub burger, the side salad always lets it down, every time, it's like the bars expect people not to eat it, but not this bar. The salad was crisp and fresh, served up with a deliciously sweet vinaigrette that was perfect for dipping a wee bit of the roll in. The spirit measures were 35ml and the guest ales on offer covered breweries such as Innis & Gunn and The Inveralmond Brewery (who do beers such as Lia Fail and Ossian) which justified the bar being about 60-70p more expensive than the others we visited.

It is so pretty in the summer when it is adorned with flowers that you just can't help but want to stop off there as you're passing through :-) Inside it is rather more modern than you might expect and quite smart for a pub.

At the other end of the pub there is an extensive dining area and the pub does seem heavily geared towards dining. We had just popped in for a beer and there was Black Sheep and Old Speckled Hen on both of which were very pleasant.

It's an unofficial local nexus for Fence Records, the small indie label started by a friend of mine over a decade ago, and chances are if you pop in here on a Friday afternoon you might just run into someone you know. Over the years the Ship has seen its share of music, and like any local pub worth anything it has a healthy cast of regulars who'll you'll find propping up a bar stool everyday. The nautical theme is par for the course in this seaside village, but there are loads of really neat historical shots framed and hanging on the walls that are worth checking out if you're ever in there. And be sure and say hi to Dave, the owner!

Out of curiosity, I did a Google search on Belhaven Brewery and realized that they're located right outside of Edinburgh. More Googling, and I realized that there's a train from Edinburgh to Dunbar, Belhaven's city. I excitedly told my husband I'd sent an email to the brewery to ask if they had any tours available during our vacation, and almost immediately got a reply from Vicky confirming their open dates and asking if we'd be interested. Hell yeah, I was interested! She told me that they don't run the tour with less than four people, so she said she'd let me know if they had to cancel. With that, there was nothing more I could do than wait and hope others joined the tour. The morning of our tour, we took the train into Dunbar Railway Station and walked a mile to the brewery, following the incredibly detailed directions previously provided by Vicky. We got there early, so we took a few pictures of the sign at the gate, then walked around the neighborhood for a bit. When it was time to check in, we pushed the button and were immediately admitted. Vicky welcomed us with a warm smile, and introduced us to the one other person on the tour, a nice gentleman from Glasgow. Turned out the tour would be just the three of us, which was fantastic (and amazing they didn't cancel). Tom was our guide - Tom is *everyone's* guide - and he was phenomenal. I think he was tickled by the fact that it was me who had pushed for the tour, and that I was the huge Belhaven fan (instead of my husband). He took us out onto the grounds, gave us a bit of history of the land and the buildings, and then took us into one of the buildings. Turns out Tom and Vicky are really the only ones that run the tours, which is incredible, given how popular they seemed to be. Tom runs both the public and the private tours and has been with Belhaven for years. He was very obviously proud of the beer and the company and took the time to shore up our knowledge of Belhaven's history before moving us along to the kilns. There were three brewers working the kiln room when we walked in, and they each welcomed us. Tom talked to us a bit more about what we were seeing, then took us upstairs to peek at the vats. He stopped to give us time to admire the equipment, answered our questions, and then took us to the last stop of the tour: The Monk's Retreat. But before we could get to the Monk's Retreat (and all the wonderful brews awaiting us inside), we stood in front of a fun light-up educational board, where Tom showed us the flow of beer, and how Belhaven manages every step from brewing to production to distribution. Then, it was (finally!) on to the best part: access to all the things Belhaven brews. The Monk's Retreat (so named because a monastery once lived on the lands) is a large open area fronted by a bar, just off a deck and an open courtyard. It's beautiful inside, and we three were the only ones around. Tom gave us a chance to taste as many beers as we wanted, after first giving us a brief overview of the styles he had available. The wall behind the bar is a showcase of the brewery's output, and the taps and bottle beer display is a showcase of the beers available for consumption that day. We made our way through many (several) of the beers on tap and were hazily thinking about starting our walk back to the train station when Tom asked me if I'd be interested in trying the Speyside Oak Aged Blonde Ale. My immediate response was "yes, please!" (because you never turn down a free beer), but I then followed that up with, "...as long as we split it between the three of us!" Hey, I love a free beer, but I had no desire to have to worry about my faculties - or my stomach - on the train back to Edinburgh. Turns out the Speyside Blonde was my favorite of the day...and also not available in the United States. Of course. We left the Monk's Retreat, slightly wobbly on our feet, and headed back towards Vicky and reception. We bought a few shirts (their stock was a bit low that day, but we made do), and then Vicky gave us more excellent directions on how to get from the brewery to "The Bridge to Nowhere". She said it'd be a quick jaunt, so though we were cutting it close, we hightailed it over. (She was right - it was a quick jaunt, but we stil had to hoof it back to the train station, and by the time we got there, our buzz was gone.) At any rate, I'm so thrilled we got a chance to visit Belhaven, and that we were able to meet both Tom and Vicky. They are great people brewing fantastic beer, and I encourage any beer afficiando to book a tour. You won't be disappointed!
