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!

Bottle. Chocolate, peanut butter, biscuit malt, and light straw aroma - smells like a Nutty Buddy. Dark brown with moderate brown head. Mildly sweet light chocolate, peanut butter, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter dry hay flavor. Good body. Nice.

Bottle from Julie who got it from a post-security table in PDX. Pours dark brown with a creamy, fizzy, transient darkish tan head. Aroma of peanuts, dark malt and some chocolate. Med body at least. Flavor is very peanut, supported by smooth dark malt and dark chocolate. Clearly peanut is where this is at. Not one of my preferred styles, but pretty decent.

Bomber acquired by Julie at a post-security table of KENNY & ZUKE DELI in PDF. Pours dark brown with a foamy dark tan head. Chocolate wafts from the pour. In the glass chocolate, medium dark treacle, coffee. Near full bodied. Flavor is chocolate, earthy chocolate, dark treacle, coffee. Blind test I might call this IS. Lots of flavor. Not dry; fairly bitter. Good stuff.

On tap at Fat Heads, pours a clear golden bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy coffee upfront, with cereal malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy coffee upfront, backed by biscuity malt. Earthy and old coffee notes on the finish. Meh.

Taster at Growler Guys. Medium gold/ amber, small skin of head. Light malty aroma, but taste switches gears to mild hoppiness. Still pretty tames, but solid.

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Clear yellow golden Lively carbonation thick fluffy head. Aroma is mostly bread and Grains mildly sweet. Taste is light, in fact a bit too light, focusing on the grains and malts. Sweet finish malts and honey. Tasty and not very filling light on the palate.
