Wild Goose Beers

Since the Wild Goose Brewery first fired up its brewkettle in 1989, America has rediscovered its great brewing heritage. The Wild Goose Brewery has helped lead the way as one of the first small breweries in the Mid-Atlantic region with a commitment to brewing real English ales.

Today, at our brewery in Frederick, Maryland, we hand-craft our unique beers with the greatest care and attention to detail. Only the finest British malted barley, the freshest and most aromatic hops from Washington State’s Yakima Valley, and our rare Ringwood ale yeast are used in Wild Goose ales so that each brew is sure to be rich, tasty, and fresh.
