Description
The Wild Beer Co was born in 2012 out of a love of fermentation, barrel-ageing and most importantly, flavour. We believe exceptional brewing stems from imagination and passion. Our beers are brewed using modern creative techniques and ingredients while producing some of the world’s oldest beer styles guaranteed to give you a memorable drinking experience.

Curious bought Wild Beer Co out of administration in a deal that involved the beer brands and intellectual property of Wild Beer Co, but not its Somerset-based brewery production facilities. The Curious and Wild Beer Co businesses were transfered into the hands of St Peter’s in 2023.

Clear dark brown beer, big pale cream coloured head. Smooth palate with a little fine carbonation. Mild malt cream with a littlr tangy apricot in good balance. The spices are not subtle and neither are they overdone,. They give the beer a slight pumpkin beer vibe. Finishes semi dry. Fresh and interesting.
