Additional Info

Vault City Buckie Bomb Iron Brew Buckie And Caffeine Sour is a bold sour beer and a standout in craft beer Ireland, brewed by Vault City Brewing at 7.8% ABV and inspired by the unmistakable flavours of Irn-Bru and Buckfast. This high-impact craft beer delivers a unique mix of sweet citrus, herbal depth, and a subtle caffeine edge, making it a strong choice for anyone searching for craft beer online, craft beer Dublin, or craft beer delivered across Ireland.

This sour beer leans into modern brewing creativity, combining nostalgic soft drink character with a tangy, refreshing base. Expect bright orange citrus, a lightly spiced herbal note, and a balanced tartness that keeps it highly drinkable despite its intensity. Compared to a traditional lager beer or stout beer, this is far more experimental, offering a playful and flavour-forward take on beer.

Vault City have built a reputation for producing beers that stand out, and this release is exactly the kind of craft beer Dublin customers are looking for when they want something different.

About This Beer
Vault City Buckie Bomb Iron Brew Buckie And Caffeine Sour is a modern craft beer that captures the bold, experimental energy of today’s sour beer scene. Brewed in Edinburgh by Vault City Brewing, this 7.8% sour beer takes inspiration from Irn-Bru and Buckfast to create a beer that is bright, tangy, slightly herbal, and completely distinctive. It is exactly the sort of craft beer Ireland drinkers are increasingly drawn to when they want something outside the usual line-up, and it stands out immediately for both flavour and concept.

The beer opens with vivid citrus character and a sweet, almost nostalgic soft drink note before the herbal Buckfast-inspired edge starts to come through. The sour base keeps everything lifted and balanced, helping the sweeter elements stay lively rather than heavy. That balance is important, because this is a big-flavoured beer with plenty going on, yet it still manages to stay refreshing and drinkable from start to finish.

If you enjoy bold, flavour-driven beers, you can explore more options within our Sour & Lambic Beer selection, where modern sour styles continue to grow alongside traditional examples.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Bright orange with a hazy, vibrant pour
  • Aroma: Sweet citrus with herbal undertones and a hint of spiced fruit
  • Flavour: Zesty orange sweetness up front, followed by herbal Buckfast-inspired depth and a light bitter edge
  • Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with smooth carbonation and a refreshing tart finish

About the Brewery
Vault City Brewing has become one of the most recognisable names in modern sour beer. Based in Edinburgh, the brewery focuses on producing bold, flavour-led beers that challenge expectations and push beyond traditional brewing limits. Their approach centres on creativity, often taking inspiration from unexpected sources to create beers that stand out immediately.

They have built a strong following across Ireland and beyond, particularly among those looking for something different from standard beer styles. Their ability to combine high-impact flavour with balance has made them a go-to brewery for modern craft beer fans.

Food Pairings
This sour beer pairs well with foods that complement its bold citrus and herbal profile. It works particularly well with spicy dishes such as chilli chicken or tacos, where the sweetness and acidity help balance heat. It also pairs nicely with citrus-based desserts, orange cake, or even rich chocolate dishes where the contrast enhances both elements.

For a wider look at what is available across different styles, take a look through our craft beer and craft cider collection, or discover more traditional European brewing in our Belgian Beer range.
