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 at home from Tesco, swigged down with a BBQ, 25th July 19. Pours a clear beer. Aroma is pithy, malts. Taste is interesting, malty, good bite to it, some yeasty notes. It’s actually quite balanced and drinkable

Can from Tesco Supermarket, Borehamwood. Hazy amber with a small head. Has a nice design on its packaging, mildly dry, more fruity, this is most stated in its nose, with its strength well hidden.

Can from Tesco Supermarket, Borehamwood. Slightly lighter cherry coloured with next to no head. A soured brew in design, but there’s a sweetness attached to the cherry flavours as they are obvious enough.
