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.

One-third pint, on tap at Wild Card Brewery Tap Bar. Pinkish, bubbly head, hazy reddish body, scattered lacing. Restrained smell of red berry skins. Fruit-berry flavours, semi-tart. Ends with dry and tart-sweet berries notes. Okay cleanser. (London 21.11.2021).

One-third pint, on tap at Wild Card Brewery Tap Bar. Hazy golden body, declining white head, spotty lacing. Peachy nose, promising. Rounded hop fruity taste of mango and peaches, soft juicy malts beneath. Soft fruity ending, mid-dry and with a distant bitter bite. Pretty nice. (London 21.11.2021).

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2021 - Hackney. Pours clear, deep brown with a small, creamy tan head. Light-medium sweet flavour with soft roast, juicy citrus hops, mellow toasted pine bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes with more bright citrus, orange, grapefruit, light piney resin, restrained roast and cocoa. Solid.
