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.

Cask (Bookshop Alehouse, Southampton) - Black with a small head. Coffee, liquorice and some roasted notes in the aroma. Smooth taste with roasted malt, coffee, plain chocolate and liquorice detected. Great to try a beer like this in cask form.

Keg @ Chez Sophie (5.5%). Pours clear pale gold, small white head. Aroma is fruity, soft citrus, melon. Taste is similarly fruity with canteloupe, soft citrus, grapefruit with a nice bitterness. Not an ESB by any stretch. Very moreish.

330ml Can - Hazy golden/light amber. Strawberries, peach, melon and pineapple feature prominently in both the aroma and taste. Enjoyable but perhaps a bit sickly to have more than a can of.

Massive strawberry, that colour is intended, but not really a sour bite. More like a beer-y Welch's strawberry soda

Half-pint, cask at The Victoria Inn. An off-white head over a near-clear warm golden body, spotty lacing, Floral hops on the nose, some spices to it. Berry fruity flavours, slightly perfumed, joined by a caramel touch. Mid-sweet fruity ending. Pleasing to a certain degree. (Colchester 13.07.2017).

330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie July 17, courtesy of Mike. Pours hazy gold, small white head. Aroma is fresh and fruity. Taste is smooth, fruity, hiding the strength quite well. Some apricot, caramel, orange, yeah it’s alright.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival 2017. Pours dark, small bubbly beige head. Aroma bears some sweet hints, liquorice and dark fruits. Taste has a similarly moreish dubbel-like sweetness with dates, chocolate and dark malts. A nice end to the evening.
