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.

Bottle shared at the craft beer junction bermondsey tasting. Many thanks. A opaque black brown coloured pour with a halo of tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, peanut, jammy, oily, sticky, caramel. Brown sugars, too sweet. Harsh alcohol, bullshit.
