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.

Craft Clerkenwell. Also a bottle on the 14th December. Hazy gold beer, good white head. Nice nose of floral vanilla oak. Palate is crisp and light. Sharp minerals. Slightly tart citrus, grapefruit and a little apricot. Light vanilla oak in good balance, but is this beer BA? Must be the Sorachi providing that cream then. Smooth finish. Intriguing and tasty and easily the best I’ve tried from this new brewery.
