Wild Beer Co

Location: Somerset
Head Brewer: Andrew Cooper

The Wild Beer Co was born 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.

The Wild nature of our beer is displayed in the alternative fermentations and unorthodox yeasts we use alongside our barrel-ageing and blending program. Set against the backdrop of the Somerset countryside we are a truly farmhouse brewery sharing our space with Westcombe Dairy, whose cheese pairs incredibly with our beer...

Embracing individuality we think of our beers as having unique terroir; our house wild yeast was captured in a neighbouring Cider orchard and we often forage seasonal wild ingredients.

We believe that exceptional brewing stems from imagination and passion, unconstrained by stylistic guidelines and should be guided by flavour. We want to give you a truly memorable drinking experience, altering your perceptions and thrilling your taste buds.

  Our beer man, Stuart, put together a traditional Tepache as an adult drink for one of our brewery events and it was an instant success. With those flavours in mind, he set about creating a recipe to scale this from a 20L batch of sweet so drink to a 6000L x-rated version. Packed with Latin American influence, we used our understanding of flavour development to balance funky brett, tart lacto with a combination of sweet fruit and dry spice character to tickle your fancy.

  Our take on a Gose beer. We have been preserving lemons in salt and lemon juice throughout the winter ready to brew this refreshing, zesty summer special. A fabulous citrus accompaniment to fish dishes, or it could act as a sour lemon pickle to Morrocan food.

  The “all -day” wild beer, tart and fruity, yet well hopped and drinkable. We have been chasing this beer since we started and love the com- bination. The juicy, tart gooseberries and our own culture of wild yeast from local orchards give this a gentle acidity, whilst the generous “dry-hop” enhances the fruitiness.

  Named after the ancient Greek goddess of beer, this Belgian Style Saison has copious amounts of New Zealand hops, freshly harvested Somerset apple juice and wild yeast. Once bottled the beer undergoes a secondary fermentation with Champagne yeast, giving a brisk spritzness on the tongue.

  A beer inspired from a Tom Yum soup but with the salty kick of a Gose; a German-style sour wheat beer usually brewed with coriander and salt. This style has been recently resurrected in recent times and provides the perfect base to this weird and wonderful beer. Tom Yum Gose brings together the fresh aromatic spices of Laos and Thailand, the natural wild yeasts of Somerset and carefully sourced salt to make a truly remarkable and refreshing beer.

  Ratebeer: 93/100. Sweet and salty collide in this rich balanced and smooth dessert stout. Lactose, Caramel and high quality Valrhona cocoa nibs provide a chocolate caramel sweet backbone alongside the roasty malts, whilst Cornish sea salt gives a savoury salty kick raising this beautiful beer above the norm.

  Ratebeer: 97/100. Brett’s homage to his Californian homeland. Open the bottle to a tropical punchbowl of aromas, as this beer is all about the hops. There are masses and masses of late hops and dry hops to maximise the beautiful flavours and aromas so you can experience wave after wave of tropical and citrus fruits.

  Loosely based on a Berliner Weisse with a Wild Beer twist. We have used 58 year old sourdough culture and a little brettanomyces and put the beer straight into oak barrels for its primary fermentation. It is slowly fermented, matured and soured for 4 months in the barrel and will continue to evolve in the bottle.

  Brewing a beer around the taste of lime naturally led us to using this beautiful citrus fruit, utilising both the fresh pulp and the zest. A clean and crisp base was achieved by using a lager yeast with the lime building an addictive tang to the pallet and a gose inspired flurry of salt adding to the finish. What is it? A lager, a gose, a sour... Who cares.

Pogo is actually an acronym, as we added passionfruit, orange zest, guava puree and orange juice- POGO!

  Created with a passion for flavour and a lust for hops — this is a frisky, fragrant pale ale. Whilst consistency is (rightly) the benchmark of most beers, we’ve gone Wild and thrown away the rulebook on this one. Every six months we source some of the most interesting hops from the northern and southern hemispheres, which means two hop harvests and two excitingly different hop profiles. Given the unpredictability of each harvest, you’re guaranteed a punchy hop character alongside an appetising bitterness and a crisp dry finish that will send you back for more.

  Incorporating new and unusual ingredients in beer is as integral to what we do, at Wild Beer Co, as using the most local ingredients we can. So we teamed up with a local wine producer to relieve them of their grape must and use it in making a sour beer. Grape must is the juice and pomace left behind after the grapes have been pressed. These skins are laden with wild yeasts which would’ve tradition- ally fermented the juice into wine. We thought it was about time that we utilised the wild funk available from wine grapes.

  We wanted to create something as thirst-quenching and refreshing as possible while incorporating intense smoke. Bringing all the elements of sour, salt, smoke and the taste of blood oranges into what is reminiscent of a beery twist on a Smoky Whisky Sour cocktail.

  Yokai is a delightfully balanced blend of bright Yuzu citrus, umami from the seaweed and gentle spice from Sichuan peppercorns. It takes inspiration from Yadokai, our infamous sake-inspired 13% beer. Yokai brings the delights of these ingredients, used so well in it’s predecessor, but are now more accessible in a balanced lower alcohol beer.

  2018 sees the sequel to our infamous mushroom beer - Breakfast of Champignons. This years new recipe uses Chanterelle mushrooms (as opposed to penny buns) seasoned with white peppercorns and parsley. Bright acidic character plays off of the earthiness of the mushrooms and the toasted oak nds synergy with cracked white pepper. Interesting doesn’t cover it!

  We are delighted to have been paired up with Side Project Brewing from Missouri for the Rainbow Project 2018. Our allocated inspirational colour for this year is Red! Brewed without hops we have incorporated the colour red with the additions of pomegranate and rose petals. A funky mixture of microbes in burgundy wine barrels lends a tart acidity and farmhouse slant while the fragrant rose and pomegranate play with the woody tannins in Rosa Rouge.

  The Blend is an expression of what we do and why we do it. It is a celebration of our love affair with wild yeast, sour beers, slow maturation, barrel-ageing and blending. Inspired by Belgian Gueuze-style beers, we have blended together carefully selected sour beers from our barrel library, and used all of our experiences from the last five years to create the 2017 vintage.

  Brewed with Vienna Malt and Oats, an unusual mouth filling malt base. Hopped with beautiful Mosaic hops, renowned for their tropical fruit beauty, helped along with some nice orangey Amarillo hops both at the end of the boil and in the dry hop. It is unfined, so naturally hazy. A moreish bitterness is complimented by tropical fruit tastiness.

  Using a super attenuator in the boil we have managed to create a low perceived bitterness, whilst retaining a solid tropical hop profile. By adding Ekuanot hops, we've created vinous notes by giving a character resembling Brut Champagne. These features consolidate, resulting in a crisp and truly distinctive IPA.

  We've taken a farmhouse saison and packed it full of dry hops for a more intense aroma and a punchy impact. Sorachi Ace is almost exclusively the dry hop which is originally grown in Hokkaido, Japan but now is most commonly grown in the Pacific North West of America. This hop is incredibly unique in its flavour profile and quite divisive: lemon, dill, coconut, raw mushroom, mouldy orange peel - to name a few!

  What distinguishes Cato is the amalgamation of yeast varieties and incorporating Wild Beers native wild yeast strains into the beer. Initially fermented with a traditional ale yeast, we highly hopped the beer to start its life as a bold, West Coast style IPA. The secondary fermentation of wild yeasts and cultures add a funky sourness to balance the huge tropical fruit hit.
