🏳️‍🌈 Proud Scotland Awards update! 📢

Well, we didn’t bring home any awards in the end… but Devine Tension looked fabulous — and she certainly enjoyed the table wine — so we’ve got no complaints! 😉

What’s next? 🤔 D&G Life awards? The Golden Globes? Who knows!!? 😎

Thanks for the support - it was lovely to be nominated - AND it was fantastic to see everyone in the pub over the weekend! ☺️

Lots on this week - and lots of exciting stuff coming up, including Scotland National Team at the World Cup!! 😯

🏳️‍🌈 It’s the Proud Scotland Awards ceremony tonight in Glasgow, and we’re beyond delighted to be a finalist for the Venue Award! 🏆

❤️ This category recognises and celebrates venues providing “a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for LGBTQI+ people and their allies” and we’re so proud to represent our fantastic wee town, alongside the other finalists from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen! ☺️

‼️ Our address might have changed, but the team and the ethos behind our venue is solid! ✊ If you’re heading out today/tonight, please come in for a drink or two and give us your support - after all, we can’t continue doing what we’re doing without you!! 🫵

⭐ Les is on the bar tonight, so she’s unable to make the awards ceremony in Glasgow — but we’ll be masterfully represented by our very own barkeep Dillon AKA Devine Tension, who is ALSO a Proud Scotland Awards finalist, in the Creative Arts category! 🎭 Go Devine Tension Presents [DTP]!! 🤞

🙏 Thanks once more for the nominations, and thanks so much for the continued support - it means the world to the whole team here at The Open Arms! 💗💗💗

☀️ The sun is shining and the beer is beautiful! 😍 Fresh on the handpulls - two absolute belters from Five Kingdoms Brewery! 🍺🍺

⚡️Superdelica (4.3%)⚡️
The latest in the cask only series - and it's an absolute Screamer. Loaded with Superdelic™ hops from Charles Faram and just a touch of Citra. Super-juicy and tropical, but still so clean and crushable.

⚡️Invisible Hand (4.2%)⚡️
Delicious Scottish heavy, brewed using traditional old Edinburgh yeast alongside a big malt bill with classic English hops. Full-bodied with balanced, warm roasted flavours leading to notes of sweet caramel, toffee and dried fruit.
