THE WIZARDS of sour beer have unveiled their latest in a long list of wacky creations – a beer that takes just like the beloved Wagon Wheels biscuit.
Vault Wagon pays homage to the classic lunchbox treat by combining the iconic taste of strawberry jam, dark chocolate and marshmallow with a delicious light sour base.
The biscuity snack has been enjoyed by both children and adults for decades, but with an ABV of 9.5%, this vegan friendly pastry sour is a treat for grown-ups only.
Vault City’s co-founder and big kid Steven Smith-Hay, said: “Wagon Wheels were a childhood favourite of mine, so they immediately came to mind when planning our new release.”
“We like to challenge what people would typically expect from a beer and so combining the taste of juicy strawberries, dark chocolate, sweet biscuit and fluffy marshmallow with our sour base beer was a great way to do that!”
“We’re wheely excited about this one – if there’s a better beer, it can’t be found!”
Every three weeks the Portobello based brewery drops new flavours, with Vault Wagon part of May’s Sour Sunday release. Other flavours this month include White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, Peach and Mango and a Papa Doble cocktail inspired beer.
Vault Wagon is the latest in a long-line of innovative flavoured beers produced by the company, with previous varieties including Fruits of the Forest triple stacked breakfast waffle, Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Raspberry Coconut Ripple.
Earlier this year the company launched its first-ever core range across 200 independent bars, pubs and taprooms across the UK. It is now available in more than 600 Tesco stores nationwide, and recently became the supermarket giant’s best selling craft beer
