After a lot of thought, we’ve made the emotional and difficult decision to wind down Wild Barrel.

It’s not a decision we’ve made lightly. Wild Barrel has been a huge part of our lives over the past few years, from building the brewery and developing our beers, to filling barrels, pouring at markets and events, launching new products and meeting so many people who genuinely understood and supported what we were trying to create.

With the property that Wild Barrel has called home now sold, and life moving in a different direction for us, we’ve decided the right thing to do is bring this chapter to a close rather than try to rebuild the brewery somewhere else.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be bottling the remaining barrel-aged beers and making the last of our stock available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

We’ll also be selling the brewery equipment and other assets.

Before we break everything up, however, we’d like to put it out there that Wild Barrel as a complete business is available for acquisition.

There’s a lot of work, knowledge and love tied up in what we’ve built, and we’d be genuinely pleased to see Wild Barrel continue in some form under someone who believes in it.

For everyone who has bought a bottle, visited us, stocked our products, collaborated with us, shared our stuff or simply followed along, thank you! We’ve had an absolute blast and your support has meant more than you can imagine.

I’ll always brew, ferment and make things. That part isn’t going anywhere.

For anyone genuinely interested in acquiring Wild Barrel, stock, equipment or other assets, please get in touch with us directly.

And for everyone else keep an eye out. There are some pretty special bottles still sitting in barrels that we intend to get out into the world before we finish.

Slow in process, wild by nature.

Cheers!🍻

The legends down the road at Hops farm Brisbane Australia recently reached out and offered us some beautiful whole cone hops from last season.

I’ve been wanting to brew a dry-hopped wild ferment for a while, and these are exactly where they’ll be going.

The plan is to blend a selection of mature barrels with fresh wort and a generous addition of whole cone hops. The fresh wort will kick-start fermentation in the tank, scavenging any oxygen before it has a chance to impact the beer. From there, the hops can do what they do best—bringing layers of bright aromatics, fresh fruit character and added complexity without being overshadowed by oxidation.

It’s a process I’ve been looking forward to experimenting with, and I can’t wait to see where it ends up.

Stay tuned.

Our flagship beers, Champagne Pilsner and House Saison, continue to be the go-to for both us and our customers.

Aged to perfection and made the way they’ve always been, we remain committed to what matters most: using the best ingredients we can get our hands on, and giving the beer the time it needs.

What is that thing floating on top of your kombucha?

That soft, jelly like layer you sometimes see is called a pellicle.

It forms naturally during fermentation when acetic acid bacteria interact with oxygen, creating a cellulose layer at the surface.

A lot of people call it a SCOBY, but technically, that’s not quite right.

SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast, and it actually lives throughout the liquid — not just in that layer on top.

The pellicle is simply a byproduct of a healthy fermentation.

At Wild Barrel, we like to strain this out straight into the glass before drinking.
Not because it’s harmful, it’s completely safe, but because we prefer a clean, refined drinking experience (and it saves it ending up down your chin). 😊

If you ever come across it in raw kombucha, feel free to drink it… or not. It’s all part of the process.👍
