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.

33cl bottle from Tesco's. Thin white head. Very hazy golden pour. Refreshing citrus bitterness. Not bad at all.

Can at home, 06/05/18. Golden with a pinkish hue topped with a very faint crimson head of bubbles. Nose is grassy, stale bread, grains, faint cherry sherbets. Taste comprises mild cherry cough drops, balsa wood, straw, grains, faint lactic tang, red berry snap. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a very restrained acidic nip. Was actually quite refreshing on a hot summers evening but lacked depth and imagination ... low end sour.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly white head. Light and semi dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Thin and mildly sweet malts. Overarching piney hop. A little tangy orange peel. Trace of tangerine. Light semi dry finish. Fairly drinkable.
