About the Brewery
Vault City is a Scottish brewery known for bold, modern sour beers with big fruit additions, bright acidity, and creative flavour combinations. The brewery has built a strong following among craft beer fans who enjoy expressive, fruit-led beers that push beyond traditional sour styles.
Punch Mandarin Mango Pineapple Sour is a great example of Vault City’s approach. Rather than offering a restrained, delicate sour, this beer goes all in on flavour.

Vault City’s beers are especially popular with drinkers who enjoy juicy, dessert-inspired, and cocktail-like sour beer styles.

For customers looking to explore exciting fruit-led releases, this is a strong pick from the wider Craft Beer & Craft Cider range.
Food Pairings
Vault City Punch Mandarin Mango Pineapple Sour is a brilliant beer for food pairings, especially where fruit, spice, and acidity can shine. Its tropical profile works beautifully with spicy dishes such as Thai curry, chilli chicken, Korean fried chicken, jerk chicken, fish tacos, and hot wings. The juicy fruit character helps balance heat, while the tart finish keeps the palate refreshed.
It also pairs well with seafood, especially prawns, crab, grilled white fish, calamari, and citrus-marinated dishes. The mandarin and pineapple notes bring freshness, while the mango adds a softer tropical sweetness that works nicely with delicate savoury flavours.
For cheese, try goat’s cheese, feta, mozzarella, or creamy soft cheeses. These allow the fruit and acidity to stay in focus without overwhelming the pairing. For desserts, this beer is a natural fit with mango sorbet, pineapple upside-down cake, citrus tart, passionfruit cheesecake, pavlova, or fruit salad.
It can also work well as a lively alternative to a cocktail-style drink. Serve well chilled and pour into a stemmed glass to make the most of the aroma and fruit character.
