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.

Chinook, Cascade and Amarillo hops. Lightly hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, mildly dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts. Tangy orange and orange peel bitterness. Dry and bitter floral taste before the light finish. Quite a harsh bitter linger. Okay.

Bottle from the Essex Beer Shop, Billericay. Poured a very dark brown with a small and short lasting tan colour head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Medium sweetness and roasted bitterness. Towards being full bodied, slick texture, average carbonation. Finish is roasted chocolate with a little tartness.

More of an APA than IPA but really sold. A much-improved brewery. Was pleasantly surprised .

Really nice showcase of one of my favourite hops. Excellent condition. Unfined. Hazy. Dank bitterness. CO2 in the tank always works.

Really tasty. The + is Citra. It's juicy. It's unfined. It's got a nice malt profile. Sessionable. Clean.
