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!

Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter from Wild Ride Brewing
6 years ago
6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 7.5
Bottle. Pours black with an off-white head that dissipates quickly and nearly completely. Aroma has rich peanut butter with a touch of dark grain and chocolate underlying. Flavor has rich peanut butter up front supported by dark grains and a hint of chocolate but the peanut butter mellows in to a slightly thin finish.

Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter from Wild Ride Brewing
6 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, off-white and almost tan head that shows at about a single centimetre with some opaque body, close to 75 per cent or so. Aroma of roasted malt, light caramelised sugars and ton and tons of nuts, mostly peanuts, but some cashews and almonds are seemingly in the nose as well. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Very rich malty and viscous feel with a bunch of nuts and pure peanut butter flavours with a good emphasis on molasses and caramelised sugars and a deep body, but the nuttiness is super strong, but showing very nicely. Aftertaste is quite rich as well, with some of the earthier and caramelised sugar notes giving way to the peanuts and almond flavours that are still quite evident and pungent, in a good way. Overall, a very nice, almost perfectly balanced beer with sugars, earth, nuts and malts all coming together nicely and going down relatively easily, with full flavours and some nice complex notes towards the end. I think this might be a good beer even in the summer, but I'm sampling this on perhaps the last night that the temperatures go into the lower 50s (deg F) at night as summer approaches. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, given to me by my coworker as part of his Beer Club Subscription (Beer of the Month) on 22-May-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 01-June-2020 - Thanks Pete!

From a can. Slightly foggy bright orange pour. Thin brief coarse off white head. Some light pale malts and a pungent grassy hop character. Quite dry and clean, and fairly bitter. More floral grassy bitterness at the end. Not bad
