At some point, we’ve all had to turn a spare room into a custom and excise warehouse at some point, haven’t we?

And in doing so, ending up on a path to starting a brewery that would go on to release some 70 unique beers in 2022.

Today’s guest has done just that, and in co-founding Vault City of Portobello in Edinburgh, he’s helped create one of Scotland’s most popular breweries. Co-founded by Steven Smith-Hay back in January 2018, the brewery goes from strength-to-strength and is forecasting triple-digit growth in 2023.

In this episode, we speak to Steven about the early days of Vault City, its recent investments in capital equipment and the brewery’s aim to bring more people into the wonderful world of sour beers.
