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.

14th September 2020, Shrewsbury Beer Share gathering with Syrian Supper in Chez Sophie, five in attendance. Cheers Mike for the 375ml bottle of this strange brew. Red body, pink head and a grain/oat silo aroma. Taste is sour coffee (is there such a thing?), grainy and red berries, a weird mix and one I didn't really like!

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy golden body with a few bits floating beneath a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Aroma of lemon, hops, orange rind and lychee. Flavour of cloudy lemonade and mint. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. This is only the second Vault City beer I’ve tried but I think they’re amazing. It’s a ‘wow’ experience when you first try them. Unique, slightly sour and worth the (not insignificant) price.
