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.

Bottle at the Bedford Brewhouse and Kitchen. Mid gold, slightly hazy. At this point I’m worried that I’ve bagged myself a basic UK golden repackaged as craft. Nice aroma. The Citra gives it a lift. Vague nectarine and orange peel notes. Slightly lager-y bittersweet taste. Bitter finish, a tiny bit too much acidity. The carbonation can’t hide the thin body. Somewhere between OK and pretty good.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Offie & Toffee. Pours totally clear yellow-gold, highly effervescent, with a frothy, white head. Pleasant citrusy hops in the aroma, some tangerine, lemon rind, pale malts. Light sweet flavour with notes of biscuits, more lightly sweet citrus, subtle rindy bitterness, hints of pine needles. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with more lemon rind, biscuity pale malts, light straw, tangerine and pithy grapefruit. Lovely little stuff.
