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.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Ambrata carica con riflessi rossastri, velata, anima bianco-sporca media. Al naso nella matura, uva, prugne, litchi, legno, non pulitissima. In bocca va decisamente meglio, morbida e bilanciata, attacco dolce con acidità medio-leggera, vinosa, rotonda. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Molto buona.

On tap at Bishops Arms - Malmö (Gustav Adolfs Torg), pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of barnyard funk, some lemony notes, and horse blanket. Flavour has a nice leathery horse blanket character upfront, with some lemon tang and gentle acidity. Complex, tangy and funky. Excellent.
