The Wild Beer Company will be taking over 7 of our lines w/ some tremendous beer. A lot of these beers will be being poured for the 1st time in NJ.

BrettBrett – English Double IPA 100% brett 8.4%
This wonderful wild yeast strain is a slow burner, it likes to hang around and eat everything it can. If it is left to its own devices is will eventually begin to eat the cellulose in the wood of the barrels… What this translates into is a super crisp and fresh double IPA, extremely well-attenuated, allowing all the hop character to come to the fore. This wild yeast actually preserves hop character as well and as it likes to hang around, it is still actively evolving the beer as it ages – producing different flavour compounds and then consuming them only to recreate different flavour compounds! What we are left with is an outstanding Double IPA which is remarkable fresh and also develops beautifully. ~ The Wild Beer Co.

Evolver IPA – English IPA w/wild yeast 5.8%

Shnoodlepip – Complex Sour Ale 6.5%
An incredibly unusual beer made in collaboration with three brewers

A collaboration of three brewers, three nationalities and six ideas brought together to learn, experiment and enjoy. Made by Kelly Ryan from Good George Beer in NZ, Brett Ellis (originally from the US) from the Wild Beer Co, and Mark Tranter from Burning Sky Brewery. This beer explores new ideas, techniques, ingredients, combinations and processes.

Using all three brewers combined knowledge and experiences to create an incredibly unusual and complex beer, this utilises every opportunity to take advantage of amazing ingredients and try alternative techniques.

Full body, gentle-sweet spiciness, a dry depth with oak undertones, and tropical fruit character, all finished off with tangy Hibiscus flowers – this is one shnoodlepippin beer! ~ The Wild Beer Co.

Sleeping Lemons English Style “Goose” – English Style “gose” 6.0%
Only in keg and only for the winter months.

This is a beer for the darkening months as the seasons change and we need something a bit more warming, a bit more comforting to settle down with against the long shadows and morning fog.

In spring we launched Sleeping Lemons, 3.6% with a tart, zingy acidity and rounded salt character, it was the perfect sunshine beer. It was our firm favourite all through the summer, however it’s not summer anymore…

Sleeping Lemons comes in at a much more festive 6% lending a bigger, maltier body to the beer. The fuller mouthfeel and warming alcohol bring decadent flavours of lemon meringue pie to the character of this beer and the acidity is more rounded and reminiscent of lemon curd.

Made with preserved lemons, this Keg only release for the winter season is a bright glassful of refreshment with enough warming alcohol and body to be comforting at the same time. ~ The Wild Beer Co.

Somerset Wild – American Wild Ale 5%
The wet climate of Somerset is perfect for the orchards and pastures that are the lifeblood of our area, they are also perfect conditions for the yeasts, bugs and critters that we need to make a unique sour beer.

Somerset Wild is a beer that shows how much we love working with our environment and the seasons to produce idiosyncratic beers that leave you questioning your perceptions. A beer with the acidity levels of a white wine or farmhouse cider, with a depth, complexity and refreshing drinkability to it that makes it a wonderful beer to pair with food.

This is a magic beer to enjoy with fish, particularly oily fish such as mackerel or sardines, caught off the south-west coast, or even better why not try it with a ceviche. The acidity of the beer will work as the perfect accompaniment.

Wild Sour Blend 2016 – American Wild Ale 6.0%
A blend of 32 different barrelaged beers (12 different base beers) from their barrel cellars yielding a very complex sour beer attached is the break down.

Modus Viivendi – Old Ale 7.0%
Barrel ageing, blending and using different yeasts, this embraces our love of the unpredictability of wild yeast with the subtlety and complexity of maturation in oak barrels. A study in patience, it takes at least 90 days for the wild yeast to work its magic.

Modus Operandi is the perfect accompaniment to red meat and game dishes, such as duck or venison, a beer that could easily replace a red wine on the dinner table.

A transformation of an old English ale into a beer that is Wildly different. A unique, dark, flavourful beer with a smooth, rich, full body and complex fruit flavours of berries, sweet cherries and tannins.
