Sour Beer & Croissant Pastry Collab: Edinburgh's Craft Scene

0:00Vault City, the Portobello Brewery, famous for bowl sour beers, has joined forces with Leathwalk's baby face baker to brew two limited edition soures. Using surplus croissant pastry off-cuts, the flavors draw from desserts, blueberry maple glaze bun, and lemon meringue iced bun. Baby face baker started on Leathwalk in 2021, and later added a Portobello shop, focusing on small batch pastries, with a menu that changes weakly. Normally, they turn pastry scraps into loaves to cut waste, but here they delivered them straight to the brewery for fermentation. Founders from both spots are thrilled about the match, noting how sour beers fruity brightness pairs perfectly with sweet bakes. They highlight the fun in experimenting locally, and tackling food waste and hospitality through creative reuse. The bakery plans to roll out a matching bun to pair with the beer launch. These special releases go on sale via Vault City's website starting March 31, priced at £4.95 each, with 4.8% alcohol by volume.
