Wild Beer Co - August's Brewery of the Month Millionaire: a chocolate and salted caramel stout. Wild Goose Chase: a tart beer, loaded with gooseberries and fermented with a yeast from a local orchard. Smoke ‘n’ Barrels: a lager using malts that have been smoked with cherry wood, rosemary and sage, all using a home built smoker. Yep, Wild Beer Co brewers certainly live up to their motto: Drink Wildly Differently. This is a brewery on a mission to change the perception of what a beer can be, while all the time keeping them incredibly drinkable.

Take one of our favourites, Sleeping Lemons for example. This is a beer brewed with lemons which have been preserved in-house in salt resulting in a hazy straw-coloured wheat has elegant aromas of lemon juice, lemon zest, biscuity malts and herbs. It’s a Gose, a German salty beer, but in a uniquely Wild Beer way. It’s incredibly refreshing.
Wild Beer Co also has one of the foremost barrel-aging programmes in the country. Walking onto their Somerset brewery, it is wood not stainless steel that dominates the scene (that’s if you can drag yourself past the cheese makers out front). It’s an area of beer production that is one of Wild Beer Co’s raison d’etre. The brewery was set up by Brett Ellis and Andrew Cooper, initially, to brew a dark beer that was both barrel-aged and used wild yeasts. The resulting beer was the style-defying Modus Operandi – quite a statement for the first beer. Since they have developed their barrel programme which requires a whole new brewing skill: the of blending.
However, that’s not to say they stay away from more recognisable beers. The ‘Fresh’ is a fine example of a pale ale, using both northern and southern hemisphere hops. However, in true Wild Beer style they keep mixing up the hop profile, but no matter blend, it’s always full of flavour.
In short, we’re very chuffed to have Wild Beer on board. And if it all sounded mildly gushing, then quite right, these guys make some of the best beer in the country.

Remember the childhood excitement of opening a new door on your advent calendar every day in the run up to Christmas? It gave each day a little sparkle of festive magic, even though those tiny chocolates behind the doors were always a bit rubbish. How would you like to recapture that childhood magic, but with bottles of delicious beer instead of powdery chocolate? Sounds amazing, right? In that case, you need to get your hands on our Craft Beer Advent Calendar.
Pairing beer and food together isn’t all rules and science. That would make for a terribly boring dinner party! Instead, it’s the art of taking a good beer, some good food and partnering them together to make something even better. It’s the adventure of discovering what works, what doesn’t and what you like. It’s you taking a bite, taking a sip and then declaring your undying love for that imperial stout and chocolate cake.
Barrel-ageing beers is not a new thing, but it is getting more and more popular, and has probably never been as inventive. Adrian Tierney-Jones explores the new wave of ageing beer in wood
