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. Beer Central, Sheffield. Fully hazy, dirty gold. Thick off white head settles to a thin, lacing foam. Nose has acid drop sweets. Lemon sherbet. Some pineapple. Some mango. A yoghurt thing runs throughout. Taste is juicy, tart, and lightly puckering. Juicy acidity on the palate. A little drying. Fine, crisp carbonation. More of the tart and juice to finish. Could have managed more hop character for me, but it’s a tasty beer regardless.

Caña en Cimmeria 17..01..2020. Color rojizo rosáceo con espuma blanca rosácea. Sabores a fresas suaves y ligeros ácidos. Cuerpo medio con bastante sabor, fino, fácil de beber. Bastante buena, Refrescante, buena combinación de fresas y ácidos. Para repetir sin duda. Gran descubrimiento.

Looks like mango puree. Thick puree texture. It's got lots of sweet creamy mango and chilli heat. An interesting novelty.
