An Edinburgh brewery is teaming up with comedian Ed Gamble to make a limited-edition charity beer.
“Canned Laughter” is the latest creation from Vault City Brewing, one of the UK’s leading craft breweries and is made with one bizarre special ingredient. Stand up comic Ed Gamble played a role in making the beer by laughing into the tanks during production, which they believe will make people cheerful when they drink it.
The brewery got in touch with the comic when he named Vault City Brewing as one of his favourites in a recent podcast. The idea to add the peculiar ingredient came after Vault City featured at the Oslo Craft Beer Festival where the founder, Steven Smith-Hay, heard of the tradition of “yeast screaming”- a custom in Norway where brewers scream into their beer to help enhance the flavour.
