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.

Keg at GBBF '22 day 2, 03/08/22. Moderately hazed golden orange with a thin white cap that clears to nothing. Nose is tarte and tangy fruit rinds, damp straw, light brett trace, funk. Taste comprises stewed fruits, yeast esters, vinous tones, light white peppery spice, apple core, hint of dried red berries. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced bretted pangs. Decent saison.

On tap at That Beer Place (Foregate St), Chester. Pours almost black with minimal cream head and good lacing. Theres roast malts and some hints of vanilla in the aroma. In the mouth there is some fruitness but roast malts dominate. Later sweetness of chocolate and traces of vanilla, plus bitterness of coffee grounds come through. Good, Good !
