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.

Dark brown, transparent, with a small, quickly dissipating brown head. A sweet, nutty aroma with notes of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and toffee. A creamy, rather sweet opening. Distinctly nutty, slightly tart, creamy, with plenty of vanilla and toffee notes. The finish is creamy, with a long, successful finish, giving a pleasant toffee latte sensation.
