Wild beer, made slowly

Every Crossover beer begins with spontaneous fermentation. After brewing, we cool the wort overnight in open vessels called coolships, allowing yeast and bacteria from the surrounding environment to begin fermentation. We add no cultured yeast.

The beer then ferments and matures in oak barrels for one to four years. We taste and blend those barrels before each release, bringing together different ages and characters.

Some beers are refermented on British fruit, grapes or botanicals. Others develop without additions or spend further time in spirit barrels. Each bottle reflects the ingredients, barrels and time behind it.

Choosing your first bottles

If you are new to wild beer, the Discovery Case is an easy place to begin. It brings together three fruit-led beers in smaller 37.5cl bottles, giving you a selection to taste and compare.

Choosing individual bottles? Start with an ingredient you enjoy, then read the description for the fruit, barrel treatment and character of that release. Our ingredients include British-grown peaches, cherries, raspberries, damsons and grapes.

Is wild beer the same as sour beer?

The terms overlap, but they describe different things. “Wild” refers to fermentation involving wild yeast or bacteria. “Sour” describes acidity in the finished beer.

Wild ales can be fruity, dry, earthy or tart, with different levels of acidity. Our beers develop their character through spontaneous fermentation, time in oak and blending. Check each bottle’s description to find the release that appeals to you.
