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.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy pale amber pour with a loose white head; piney aroma; soft and soapy in the mouth with a light citrus taste and a gentle piney bitterness; then a creamy lemon finish. Light and easy drinking.

330ml can, via Beer52: BB 30th Apr 2021. Drank at home on 16th Aug 2020. Light haze to the orange/golden body, wispy white covering for a head. Nose is hop citrus and hop piney. Taste is more resinous hop flavoured with some citrus notes too, faint pale malt undertones. Nice!

Can from Tesco, Amersham, Bucks. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, peach, tropical fruit, slight sabro aroma and taste. Quite sweet, it's OK but lacking something.

330ml can from Tesco. Poured a clear golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light grassy hop, zesty citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a fresh, crisp, juicy pineapple citrus, light pepper spice, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Pours a clear gold with a short-lasting foamy white head, and an aroma of grapefruit and mellow hops. Has a slightly grainy mouthfeel, with zesty grapefruit and some sweet tropical fruit flavours, with a nice dollop of hop bitterness which lasts into the finish. Another very decent pale ale

Mellow citrus and peach aroma on this slightly hazy pale ale, which pours a pale gold with a short-lasting foamy white head. The mouthfeel is a little zesty and grainy, with a smooth biscuit malt and citrus hop flavour, leaving a slightly dry bitter aftertaste. Very decent pale ale, really quaffable, went down a treat
