Vault City are launching a luxurious new imperial stout, inspired by one of TikTok’s most viral sweet treats, as they continue a major crowdfunding campaign.

By far their most requested flavour to date, Vault City received more than 1,000 calls for the viral chocolate sensation to be reimagined in beer form.
The Dubai-Style Chocolate Pistachio Imperial Stout comes in at 13% ABV. It is packed with flavours of silky milk chocolate, rich pistachio cream, and golden syrup-soaked knafeh pastry. It’s the brewery’s boldest dessert stout to date.
The new release is the result of Vault City’s You Choose, We Brew competition. It was the most requested beer of the year, making up around 10% of all entries, as fans clamoured to see their dream dessert turned into a decadent stout. It will be released on 27th May.
Vault City’s crowdfunding campaign has already notched up 6,165 orders, with more than 300 supporters securing tickets to the upcoming brewery launch party by spending over £150. Another 200 backers will have their names permanently etched into the wall of Vault City’s new home, while nearly 20 exclusive brew days have been snapped up by top-tier contributors.
“This beer is pure indulgence! It’s bold, decadent, and exactly what our fans asked for,” said Vault City co-founder Steven Smith-Hay.
“We had over 1,000 requests for a Dubai-style stout across our competition and social channels, so we knew we had to make it happen. The response so far has been incredible. From crowdfunder orders to brew day sign-ups, our community is really showing up for us.”
