Description
Wild Card Brewery was founded in 2012 at the Ravenswood Industrial Estate Walthamstow.
We brewed Mon-Fri and come the weekend, we would open the brewery doors and serve up our beers. With support from the local community our shed became one of Walthamstow's best loved bars, hosting beer festivals, tap takeovers and live music.
Meanwhile, in the brewery, Jaega was working away, tweaking old recipes and coming up with new ones. By 2017 she had 2 award winning beers under her belt and was struggling to make enough beer to keep up with demand - we were going to need a bigger brewery. So in 2017, we started a crowdfunding campaign to help us move the brewery to a bigger site.
In 2018 the brewery moved over to Lockwood Way, where we have doubled capacity - which means lots of Wild Card beer for all.
Wild Card Brewery now has two tap rooms in Walthamstow, and our beer is available in pubs, bars, restaurants and supermarkets across the UK.

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2022 - day 1. Pours black with a small, bubbly brown head. Medium sweet flavour, rich dark malts, a little smoke, raisins, fudge, ash. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, some sticky dark malts, more cocoa, peaty accents. Very nice.

9/9/2022. Can shared by SHIG, cheers. Pours clear pale orange with a pink tint and a small bubbly white head. Aroma of lime, blackcurrant, herbs, berries, hint of rhubarb. Medium sweetness, light tartness. Moderate body, spritzy carbonation. Light salty sweet finish. Quite liked it.
