Mungoswells Malt & Milling

East Lothian

The McDowall family bought Mungoswells in 1920 from Hopetoun Estates and moved from Galloway in 1924. Mungoswells is an arable farm north of Haddington in the 'bread basket' county of East Lothian. We farm cereals, beans and clover on our 550 acres, 235 acres of this are Organic and the rest Conventional (Non-Organic). In the Early 1800s Patrick Shirreff started selecting and breeding new varieties of wheat at Mungoswells. He was indeed mentioned by Charles Darwin even before the publication of 'On the origin of species'. We did grow these early varieties for several years but find that modern varieties give better yields and quality. In the late 1920s and early 1930s Major Andrew McDowall developed the world's first Electric tractor, which was built in the workshop at Mungoswells. Perhaps it is this innovative streak which has led to our diversification into flour milling

Vault City

Edinburgh

We’re Vault City, an independent craft brewery and Scotland’s largest sour beer producer. We make heavily fruited, modern sour beers in (sometimes) sunny Portobello, Edinburgh. Since 2018, we’ve focussed on relentless exploration when it comes to brewing. Our house culture and mixed fermentation base beer pair perfectly with real fruit ingredients, and we use literally tonnes of the stuff in our recipes to help push the boundaries of what people would typically expect from a beer. We set out to modernise a traditional style of brewing with our take on fruited sours. Our modern sour beers have converted even the most stubborn non-beer and traditional beer drinkers, with a mix of accessible and adventurous flavours. Don’t take out word for it though, crack open a can and tell us what you think!
