Description
Brewed in Silchester and drawing inspiration from new world hops, Germany’s malts and beer styles from across the globe, we vow to make your drinking experience as enjoyable as our brewing.

The Brewery was taken over in early 2022. The new owner then bought Boss Brewing Company in Swansea. Boss went into liquidation, but restarted, and in 2023 Wild Weather closed the Silchester site and relocated to join Boss in Swansea.

Keg at Dreadnought. Pours clear red-purple with a pink-tinged head. Basically this is cold fizzy Vimto. Quite enjoyable though. Lightly sour, lactose sweet, and very fruity.
