Description
Our wonderful brewery that many of you know and love was first set up in 2016 after months and months of hard work converting an old barn into a fully functional business.

Even though we were able to replace some of our equipment, to this day we are still using the OG 750 litre brew kit we bought off Ebay - and she’s SO ready to retire.

Where we are at the moment has around 900sq ft for us to work within, plus 750sq ft of storage and parking for 3-4 vehicles. Our new site has a whopping 3000sq ft with 1500sq ft of storage for us to use, and we have a car park too which is something we feel we desperately need to be able to move forward the way we would like to.

Due to the increase in workspace size, this will enable us to go from brewing 3000 litres a week to an incredible 8500 litres a week! We have two new 2000 litre fermenters meaning we can increase our brew capacity from 750 litres a day to 2000 litres a day.

Piana srednia, a raczej mala, opada szybciej niz przebiega podroz orient expresem, jasna zlota poczatkowo jaskrawa barwa potem nieco jest metne z lekkim osadem, pachnie typowo po wyspiarsku, solidna podbudowa slodowa w koncu to maris otter barley malt. pojawia sie ze sporym opoznieniem fajna goryczka taka typowa dla brytyjskich ale trawiasta i pozostawiajaca jakis czas ten posmak w przelyku. solidne. Summer ale drink in cold winter.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - light gusher as often with this brewery. cloudy orange/brown with a snow white head. Nose - mangoes for sure, also pungent and perfumed blossom and overripe fruit notes. Taste - very much like the nose. Overripe fruit, pungent mango and an edge of something floral. Palate - close to medium bodied. Creamy texture. Balanced bitterness with a decent linger. Overall - slightly lively on opening but much better after that.

Bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Gusher. Pours dark brown with a lively, indeed problematic beige head. Aromas are earthy, blackcurrant and liquorice. Taste is dry, blackberry, faint chocolate. Dry finish.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Gluten Free. Golden amber colour, white foam rim and aroma of grains, cranberry, grass, hay. Taste is malty, grainy, with fruity yeasty notes, and a sweetish sourish cranberry note. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry nutty finish. Quite OK.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - most previous beers from Wildcraft have been gushers, so this one is opened over the sink. It's fine. Deep brown to black. Fawn head. Nose - black cherry and blackberry with a creamy chocolate backdrop. Taste - more black cherry and dark chocolate this time. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. Decent balance on the finish. Overall - good beer.

Panda at home things to Shig, 29/09/20. Lightly hazed orange golden with a decent just off white cap. Nose is grass, berry pips, hay bale, grains, light yeast flicker. Taste comprises earthy notes, dirty berries, lemon rind, red berry must, light herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Passable saison if a touch on the unrefined side.

26/9/2020. Bottle shared with SHIG, bought at 3at3, Ely. Massive gusher. Eventually pours and settles hazy pale gold with a large frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, toffee, light herbs, yeast, not getting much in the way of cranberry. Tasted sugary sweet, with light bitterness. Moderate sweetness, a bit watery, average carbonation after all the gushing. Sweet and fruity to finish. Expery-Mental and needing more development.

Bottle shared by Grumbo: This one was a gusher and head poured out for long time. Poured a jello yellow with floaters and head was huge off white. Aroma is aloe, soapy, funky, light fruit. Taste is more aloe, bitter, light fruit not defined, some underlying sweetness.
