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.

Draught @ Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Sourish, tart and heavy with sweet strawberries, earthy notes and berries. A total strawberry overdose.

Draught @ Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Smooth, tart fruity and citrusy with some lemon, sourness, lactic notes and hints of funky yeastiness and juicy tropical notes. Interesting, quite juicy sour ale.

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Cloudy dirty pink orange colour. Lasting white head. Strawberry jam aroma. Then a lemon sour beer with more fresh strawberry . Certainly fun. Really good fruit.
