About Vault City Brewing
The Vault City story is their modernisation of a traditional style of brewing with their take on fruited sours. While sour beer has roots stretching back centuries, this Edinburgh team has reinvented the style for the modern palate. By pairing a complex, mixed-fermentation base with an uncompromising amount of real fruit, they have created a "modern sour" category that prioritises bold, authentic flavours and a refreshing, accessible finish.

Whether it is reimagining nostalgic dessert flavours or showcasing the pure essence of tropical and forest fruits, their beers are defined by their thick, juice-like consistency and striking colours. It is a philosophy of brewing that invites everyone to reconsider what they think beer can be.
