Description
Spontaneous fermentation was on the beginning of beer history. It can be found in just a handful of breweries. This beer style is unique. Come and taste the forgotten flavors with us!

Wild Creatures is an experimental brewery from Mikulov, founded by Jitka Ilčíková. All their beers are fermented in a purely natural way, without the addition of yeast. Jitka gradually discovers the charms and insidiousness of wild spontaneous fermentation. Coming from a wine region and also having a small family winery, she can combine fermentation with different varieties of wine and other fruits to create imaginative taste creations that must find their way to your taste buds.

At first, the brewery produced beers for the foreign market and they collected awards around the world, and only with the advent of the pandemic did they think about production for the domestic market and started bottling in luxurious bottles.

Huge thanks Barba for sharing this with Tomáš M, Taška and me! Hazy golden body. Bretty aroma, orange, touches of oak. Lean, dry, sweetish bretty taste, fruity, vague touch of paint, lightly sour but mainly creamy. A very, very nice wild beer that works on its own! Fantastic to be able to try it too!

Bottle 0.75l from our archive, almost four years aged. Almost clear, red colored. AROMA- nicely sour cherry, red wine, plums, sour, lightly funky. FLAVOR- slightly sweet, moderately sour and tart, the same as aroma. Fuller to full bodied. Perfectly aged. This is why I like beer...

Extreme gusher! Ruby body, with a medium, slightly pink head. Aroma with lots of raspberry, some cherry, slight straw. Tastes similar, more on the sour side. Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonaton. Finishes medium acidic, quite dry, fruity. Not very complex and more on the sour side, but lovely nonetheless, with loads of fruit notes. The cherries are quite subtle, very raspberry-forward. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16
