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 at cgarvieuk's. Pours unclear yellow. Aroma is Brett stables, elderflower, leather. Body is medium, quite sour and tart, some leather and lemon peel and elderflower indeed. Fizzy carbonation, lots of candy and yoghurt. Not greatly balanced, but quite good.
