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 home in London - sourced from Kris Wines. Pours clear gold, fairly effervescent, with a creamy, white head. Pleasant lightly toasted pale malts in the nose with hints of grass, pine and ripe orange. Light-medium sweet with decent bready malts, some sturdy bitter sun-kissed grass, pine and citrus rind, a bit of orange and grapefruit pith, some earthy wood. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with edgy bitterness, further toasted pale malts, dried grass, lightly sticky pine. Not bad. The bitterness is a bit aggressive at times but as your palate adjusts it gets better. A remarkable improvement over the last Wild Card beer I had. I’m hoping these guys are hitting their stride. Looks like they’ve got another 50 beers to make.

0,33 flaske kjøpt i London av skibsreder Ovesen og delt med ham ombord på Fridtjofen juli-14: tynt filmskum, aroma citron og nyslått gress. Deilig bitterhet og stor munnfylde, balansert og lettdrikkelig. Sitron, engelsk bitter appelsinmarmelade og mango. Meget elegant presentasjon - flaske uten etikett men med to kort (hhv. forbrukerinfo og ruterdronning). Gøy å være blandt de aller første til å rate denne.
