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. Clear, dark amber, fizzy head. Aroma is plums, prunes, raisins, brown sugar. Taste offers some Belgian yeast with the sweet, fruity flavors, smack of cola. Could probably have gone with a dubbel for style. Feel is kind of light.

Grunt fill from Albertsons. It says hazy in the title, but seems anything but. Clear golden with a thick foamy head that fades.Aroma and taste seem straight up APA, no tropical fruit, no juicy notes. What is going on here?

500 ml bottle bought at Naked Winery. Aroma is caramel malt, old hops, wet dishrag, some tropical fruit. After sitting for a bit, the unpleasant descriptors fade quite a bit, leaving it smelling a little better. Pours mostly clear golden with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly bitter, lightly sweet, with a light to moderate lingering pithy bitterness. Lightly drying finish. Flavors of caramel malt, vaguely fruity. Tastes a lot better than it smells. Not bad if one can ignore the initial unpleasant aroma.
