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.

440ml can: BB 31st October 2023. Drank at home on 7th May 2023. Misty pale yellow body, white head. Semi-sweet citrus feel to this one, it's OK, but similar to so many beers out there.

Taste comprises berry pips, lime twang, cherry skins, blackcurrant, damp cloth, balsa wood. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced puckering edge. Decent refresher.
