Description
Mixed fermentation brewery specialising in locally sourced, heavily fruited and hop-forward beers with a sense of place and seasonality.

Big flavours and bright colours, that’s what you can expect from Vault City Brewing. We’re the UK’s biggest sour beer producer and we’ve been making fruit-forward, modern sour beers in Edinburgh since 2018.

Our mixed fermentation style and distinctive house culture create the perfect base for real fruit ingredients, which gives our beer its intense aroma and flavour, not to mention the eye-catching colours.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours black with beige head. Aroma of ginger bread, notes of chocolate. Tastes sweet. Full bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Far too sweet and unbalanced.

Pale pink head, fast disappearing over flamingo-pink to strawberry coloured beer; shards of lace. Raspberry jam, raspberry cake. Not much else. Faint sourish, citrus-like flavour twirling around raspberry - if again more like (homemade) raspberry jam, than like fresh raspberries. Good balance sweet-sour. Good carbonation, lingering light acidity, fruit-slick. Pretty decent, amusing. Txs to Stef!
