Our Wild Ride began when the idea of creating an awesome brewery came alive. A group of lifelong friends, who grew up in Redmond, started plotting the course. With no professional brewer on the team, priority one was finding the right team to create the brews. Through the ups and downs and twists and turns, we met many interesting and special people along the way. Our brewers have been brewing award-winning beers since the beginning and continue to craft innovative and fun styles!
Another important chapter to our story included finding the perfect location. In 2013, we found just that in an old lumber storage building in downtown Redmond. And that’s when this Wild Ride really took off! The building had four walls, concrete floors, garage doors and a tall ceiling, which was all we needed. We then created a plan to add everything else, beginning with running water (some of the best in the Pacific NW). We are thrilled to have found this location in our hometown, and there is no other place we would rather call home for our brewery.
This is the short story of our wild ride, and our story will keep on keeping on as we continue to make great brews for everyone to enjoy. So, what’s your Wild Ride? Whatever it may be, we raise a pint to you and the journey you’ll take to turn your wild ride into a reality.
Cheers!

Hazy deep golden. Thin brief head. Pale light slightly sweet malt flavors and a touch of lime. Barely. Not very exciting but pleasant

Draft at Albertsons. Orange golden pour with a slight haze., Scant head. Citrus, fruity aroma, some pine, some floral. Taste leans hard on the citrus, almost juicy, some astringent hoppiness at the back. Doesn’t come off as a DIPA, pretty smooth.

On tap at Barrel 55, Meridian clear orange amber with a thin light beige head. She me toasted malts and that tannin loke woody bitter bite. A little orange flavor. Modest IBU bitter. Fairly malty and full bodied.

Grunt fill from Alertsons. Malt bomb. Dark, hazy amber, small filmy head. Malty aroma and taste, follows the English style. Malty, caramelly, and slightly metallic. Not bad, but the parts don’t necessarily add up and complement each other.

On Tap lightly hazy amber with a nice fin beige head and lacing, Toasted very caramelized malt flavor. Very little in the way of hop flavors. Barely bitter enough for an IPA let alone a double. Nice malty sweetness and a smooth palate. More like a mellow barley wine. Not bad, just not nearly agressive or hoppy enough for a Double IPA

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Looking at the previous reviews, I must be missing something. Not jazzed about this. Cloudy amber / orange body, small frothy head. Light aroma , fruity, some malts, light hops. Taste goes for the juicy NE style and falls short. Tropical fruit and malt in very subdued amounts. and then fades to nothing, fast. A much different experience from me than the others.

On tap muddy dark brown small tan head. Huge peanut aroma and flavor. Like those old fashioned peanuts at the circus. Some chocolatey malt flavors too. A unfiltered muddy feel

Bomber from Atkinson’s. First thing is a big, peanut-y aroma that snacks you in the face. Nothing special about the pour, normal for he style. Looks oily, and the peanut butter carries over prominently into the taste, enough to mask the porter base flavors. Quite good, actually.

Bottle from Atkinson’s. Hazy copper, amber pour. Small ring of bubbly head. Funky, musty, malty aroma. Taste has some tea flavors, then malts, hops in the back seat. Interesting hop selection. Tastes more English.
