Editors Notes

Wild Card Brewery is an award-winning, craft microbrewery based in Walthamstow. It began as a kitchen table dream in 2012 by friends William and Andrew, and joined later by Jaega Wise (Brewer of the Year, BBC Food Programme Presenter). The brewery has since evolved to produce a range of lovely beers and run two taprooms in East London. 

Wild Card uses the best of modern technology and innovation to produce hand-crafted premium beers. Using high-quality, seasonal, sustainable ingredients, we are relentless in our pursuit of perfection and creativity. 

In addition to our core range, we release a series of exciting specials every month. We apply the same ethos to our branding, collaborating with local and international artists to produce label art that’s ever-changing, experimental and beautiful.
