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.

Danke an minutemat. Weich bbitterer, trocken röstiger Beginn. Säuerlich, Noten von Kaffee, die konstante Röstigkeit wandert in den Hintergrund. Malzig bitterer Ausklang. 7/10/8/8/9/9

Bottle from Sainsbury's. Medium golden with a mild haze, big active head subsides to a bubbly, foamy cap. Aroma comes in with some big bready, grainy notes. taste continues with more malt and a very mild hop presence. Floral, yeasty, spicy

Nose is yeast, ripe mango, wheat, lime, lilt, peach. Taste is under-powered compared to the nose; mineral, tropical fruit, light mango, grapefruit, lime. Pleasingly dry body and finish. Thin mouthfeel. Meh.

Can shared at Cotteridge Convention 2017 - cheers all! Pours hazy yellow with a frothy, white head. Tangy rhubarb in the nose. Lightly sweet, with faint lemony tang, low acidity, some crispy pale grains. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish. Sound.
