We love all things wild and foraged at the Wild Beer Co and we are surrounded by a smorgasbord of various mushrooms in the Somerset countryside.
Fungi are at the heart of our brewery. Yeasts are micro fungi that do the hard work in making beer, we just feed them and put a roof over their microscopic heads. But it’s the amazing flavours and untameable nature of wild yeast strains that really excites us and when it came to pairing macro (mushrooms) with micro (yeasts) in a beer, it had to be the Chanterelle.
Further layers are added with a hint of spice derived from fragrant white peppercorns balanced with a freshness from flat leaf parsley. This is the ultimate parinig to your mushrooms on toast!

330ml bottle sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Unclear golden orange, sparse white head. Aroma has pleasant wild floral white wine. Taste is heavy on the wild yeast, floral with a fine carbonation and nice tight wild sour bite, some white wine notes, gooseberry perhaps.. very distant parsley and cracked pepper on the finish but really struggling to detect any mushroom-like earthiness whatsoever. As someone who eats all kinds of mushrooms regularly it was a little disappointing for them not to feature more prominently. But it's a great wild beer. Bright and flavoursome.

Tap at BeerGeek bar. Hazy golden body. Perfumey, pungent, sweetish... odd aroma, can't pintpoint it really as a specific thing - mushrooms and parsley? May well be. Spicy, tart taste, big lactic acidity, quite lean. The same flavor continues on. Quite unique really, but not more than good/okay. But you gotta dig the fact there's some crazy folks doing things like this.

Tap at Beergeek. Interesting, but not very intense in any of its aspects. Mushrooms may be included, but what it really is, is basically a standard sour, with the faintest hints of mushrooms, if any at all. Still good beer though

Keg at Beaverex '18 Day I, 07/09/18. Lightly hazed golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is mellow citric peel, straw, musty, grains. Taste comprises damp hay, light shrooms, lemon tang, herbal bite, umami, earthy. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok for a small pour, gets the mushroom across in a subtle enough way but wouldn't want a whole lot of this number.

Beaverfest. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts. Mildly tart lemon. Light musty mushroom. Dry finish. Admirably experimental but just odd.
