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.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2019 - London. Pours clear, dull gold with a light, creamy white head. Lightly acidic with notes of apples, a little lemony tang. Light bodied, soft, no condition. Vague and scattered in the finish, nips of funk, more apple notes. So so.

Can 33 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Fresh, juicy hop aroma. Medium body, subtle fruity sweetness still with a good hop presence and a sufficient, late bitterness. Nothing fancy but a straight and well made IPA. 121219

Can shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a round bubbly light tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, red berry fruits. The flavour is light sour, with a smooth, light chocolate, light tart raspberry palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
