Wild Card Brewery
Microbrewery
in Walthamstow,
Greater London,
England 🏴
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2012
Closed in 2024
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.

Svart. Lavt beige skum. Sjokoladearoma. Hint av tropisk frukt i en kakaodominert smak. Tørr - forsiktig bitter avslutning.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Kenny! Pours black-brown with a bubbly, tan head. Medium sweet flavour with rich burnt malts, ash, iodine, peat, dark chocolate, mellow scorched earth. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Mild boozy warmth to finish, but more peat, ash, cocoa, raisins. Sound.
