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.

Can. Tesco. Deep, reddy chestnut brown. Fine, beige head is leggy and lasting. Nose has Raspberry Ruffle chocolate. Some sweet vine fruit. Not too complex, but thereโs chocolate and raspberry here, definitely. Taste has balanced raspberry sweetness and cocoa like bitterness. Light to medium body. A tad watery and a little too fizzy. Short, dry finish, with hints of raspberry and chocolate. Sets off good.

Keg at LCBF 2019 - Friday evening session. Pours deep brown with a creamy, tan head. Long on the tart raspberry but light on cocoa, also has some toasted brown bread mucking about. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Light tart berry finish. Very drinkable, quite fun.

Keg at LCBF Friday evening session - London. Pours murky yellow with a creamy, white head. Has some pale grains, citrus peel, pine needles. Light bodied with average carbonation. Grainy finish, kind of bland, further vague citrus fruits. Drinkable. That's the highest praise I can offer.

Large bubbly tan head stayed well on a reddish brown body. Malt, caramel & sulphur aroma. Medium to thin bodied, highly carbonated & dry on the back. Caramel, toffee, malt & dark sugar tastes - difficult to assess as it's overly carbonated. Maybe a dodgy bottle?
