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.

Can at home. Aroma of lots of tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, orange, grass, shitloads of hops. Flavour is lightly sweet with a medium to heavy bitter finish. Body is medium, mouthfeel is nicely thick and smooth. Incredible balance and great drinkability. One of the best IPAs I’ve had.

Bottle at home. Aroma is whipped cream, cocoa, lactose, malt, powdery milk chocolate, lots of caramel, vanilla, fudge. Flavour is sweet. Remarkable body considering the low abv, masterfully brewed. Great balance and drinkability, quite amazing dessert beer. 2016-12-10 from cask at In De Wildeman as part of the "Real Ale Days". Actually a lot less impressive than the bottled version, has a weaker body, less refined. No, bottled is much better.

Can at home. Aroma is very fruity, tropical fruits, strong orange, tangerine, mango, touch of guava, light malt. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is about medium. Nicely fruity, strong orange and tropical, would have been better with more hoppy bitterness though.
