Wild Beer Co has issued a heartfelt statement after entering administration, saying it had been a "wild ten years". The Somerset-based brewery, which ran a taproom in Wapping Wharf, was today confirmed to have ceased trading with effect from Friday (December 2).
The homepage for the company's website had already been updated with a statement saying: "Sam Talby and Rob Coad of Undebt.co.uk have been appointed as Joint Administrators of The Wild Beer Co Ltd with effect from 2 December 2022 and are managing the affairs, business and property of the Company. The Joint Administrators act as agents of the Company without personal liability.
The business celebrated a decade in business in August and was seen by many as one of the forerunners and success stories of the craft beer movement. However the business announced that they had faced “adverse” trading conditions including covid and damaging inflation also quoting the cost of living crisis.
