Vault City, an Edinburgh-based brewery, has unveiled a captivating trio of beers inspired by the iconic Irn-Bru, which will grace bars in the UK starting on January 9. The Brew Float draws inspiration from the classic Scottish dessert where soft vanilla ice cream meets the refreshing notes of Scotland's beloved Irn-Bru. On the other hand, the Fiery Ginger Iron Brew offers a tantalizing blend of spice and refreshment, presenting a unique take on ginger beer with a distinct Scottish influence.
Adding to the allure, each can showcase a limited-edition vintage design, cleverly incorporating elements of traditional Scottish imagery. Vault City's previous inspirations include nostalgic brands like Toxic Waste sweets, Wagon Wheel biscuits, and food like Neapolitan scoop ice cream and grape soda.
"This beer trio pays homage to one of Scotland’s great loves and two of Scotland’s greatest exports - an iconic ginger drink and an iconic ginger hair color. What could be better than toasting the haggis drinks like these?" said Steven Smith-Hay, cofounder of the brewery.
