About
Wild Ride Brewing is a production brewery and Tap Room located in the heart of downtown Redmond, Oregon. Planning began in late 2011, and the beers began flowing from the taps at Wild Ride Brewing on May 10, 2014. We are now open 7 days a week with food options available from the food cart community located on our patio. Our family-friendly Tap Room has indoor and outdoor seating to fit the Central Oregon lifestyle.
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!

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Milky yelliw golden, one finger creamy head fades a bit. Aroma is pure wheat, bready, biscuits. Taste folliws this lead, adding a bit of lemony notes. Straight forward wheat ale, solid throughout.

OnTap Clear deep golden. Thin persist and single bubble layer. Resinous and fruity hop aromas and flavors. This is indeed a double, some ABV fumes are apparent and lots more resinous hop bitterness trailing.

Clear pale light golden. Scant wispy white head. Lots of clean light coffee in the aroma. Even more in the flavors. The light pale malts are just a carrier for this coffee vehicle. The flavors are nice though. Slightly sweet and mellow coffee. Quite good

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.

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.
