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 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.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is grainy malt, funky Brett, bread, with soft fruity notes including a touch of apple. Flavour is moderate bitter with a dry finish. Body is medium. I expected a bit more depth from this one, but the Bretty funk sure is nice.
