## About

The Wild Beer Co, including the barrels and foudres may have moved, but the brewing ethos, passion and magic remain the same. 

In our beers we elevate humble natural ingredients, using time, age-old as well as modern processes and techniques.

Our use of alternative fermentations, unorthodox yeasts, seasonally-foraged and unusual ingredients is what helps us deliver remarkable flavour by nature.

Everyday our 600 strong barrel library is quietly imparting nuances from its previous inhabitants into our beers. In their previous lives they contained whisky, sherry, rum, port, tequila and brandy.

Time in these old barrels reveals complex layers of flavours, which simply cannot be rushed.
