Description
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!

On draught at Brave Horse Tavern. Dark brown color with a medium foamy light beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of malt, peanut butter and chocolate. Medium body with flavors of chocolate malt, peanut butter and mild coffee. The finish is roasty with a peanut butter cup aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Murky, no head, amber colour. Sweet with a whack of chocolate and a little bit of orangey hop. Muddled and I don’t see what’s coming through here that I want. No hop, some barrel sugars but what else?

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy dark amber color. Heavy beer, heavy caramel and heavy alcohol, quite sweet too, malt flavor, and strong hopping, a bit resiny but also quite earthy.
A good beer overall, not impressive and not really and IIPA though.

22 oz. bottle, pours a dark amber / mahogany with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet, with notes of caramel malts, rye whiskey notes, and resinous hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with rye whiskey and sweet caramel upfront. Resinous hop notes are further subdued. Not especially interesting, but it's alright. Meh.

Draft pour pint at Toronado. Muddy brown pour with a cream tan head. Mild aroma of maple and malt. Flavor is watery caramel malt, a bit nutty, with an earthy malt finish. Not enough maple to be advertised the way it is. Overall a good effort to make a standard brown ale interesting, but it remains bland.
