AN Edinburgh-based brewery has paid tribute to an iconic Scottish drink by launching a trio of Iron Brew sour beers.
Vault City is bringing back its popular Iron Brew beer alongside two new creations – Iron Brew Float and Fiery Ginger Iron Brew.
The novelty beers have proven popular in recent years and will launch in around 100 bars across the UK.
Vault City’s co-founder Steven Smith-Hay has said he’s confident the new release will go down well – after it sold out last year in less than 24 hours.
“Our take on the ‘nation’s favourite soft drink,’ is packed with pride and irony-goodness in every sip – it’s the perfect drink with Burns Night just around the corner,” he said.
“Every Scot loves a can of the orange stuff. The bold colour and unique flavour evoke a sense of national pride that’s otherwise only found when talking about Scottish tap water.
“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 colour. What could be better than toasting the haggis with drinks like these?”
The Brew Float offers a twist on the iconic Scottish dessert, which traditionally features a dollop of vanilla ice cream dropped into the soft drink.
Fiery Ginger Iron Brew meanwhile offers a new take on ginger beer.
Each can features a limited edition vintage design with each drawing inspiration from a stereotypically Scottish trope – including people ironing their kilts and Highland cows.
