More About Vault City Year 3 Tropical Sour

Vault City's Year 3 Tropical Sour revisits a recipe from 2020, back when the Edinburgh brewery was still cuckoo brewing in Dundee. Now part of its eighth birthday celebrations, this 7% sour brings together mandarin, mango and passionfruit, fermented with Vault City's house mixed culture.

Juicy mango leads the way, backed by bright mandarin citrus and the sharper tropical tang of passionfruit. The mixed fermentation adds a lively tartness to balance the fruit, keeping things fresh rather than overly sweet. Intensely fruity, properly sour and packed with tropical character, this is a welcome return to Vault City's archives.

Meet the Producer, Vault City Brewing

Vault City Brewing

Style: Brewery

Edinburgh has produced a lot of good beer over the years. Vault City arrived and decided the city probably needed considerably more sour beer.

Founded in 2018, the brewery quickly became one of the UK's most recognisable names in modern sour brewing. Fruit-heavy kettle sours, pastry-inspired releases and heavily fruited beers sit at the centre of the range, often carrying flavours that sound slightly ridiculous until somebody hands you a glass and it somehow works.

The beers are unapologetically bold. Massive fruit additions, thick texture and bright acidity feature heavily throughout the lineup. Raspberry, mango, guava, cherry and countless other ingredients regularly find their way into releases that often blur the line between beer, smoothie and dessert.

Despite the playful side, there is a lot of technical brewing underneath everything. Balancing acidity, sweetness and fruit character without turning the beer into complete chaos is harder than it looks.

Modern sour beer has become one of the fastest-growing parts of British craft brewing. Vault City helped push that movement from niche curiosity into something much more mainstream.
