 Wild
River's two brewing facilities, in
Grants
Pass and Cave Junction, are located within the same buildings as our restaurants. We welcome you to visit our brewing
operations at both locations. While you are here, we invite you to
sample our year-round and seasonal
beers.
 Our
ales are brewed to be noticed. Nothing makes us happier than guests
who take the time to talk to us about them. Famed British beer
writer Michael Jackson once remarked, "Only in America might one hear
a patron ask a bartender, 'Give me a beer'. Jackson goes on to say,
"In Germany or Belgium that would be like a diner asking a waiter to,
'Bring me a plate of food'." Something to think about!
 Beers
on tap available year-round start with Harbor Lights Kolsch Style,
a pale aromatic ale with a dry clean finish. The Nut Brown Ale
is a dark brown brew with ruby highlights, semi-sweet and malty with a
mild aroma of chocolate and grains. The Extra Special Bitter
is a copper-colored English style ale with a balance of sweet maltiness
and hop bitterness. The Hefe-Weizen is a cloudy wheat ale
with a tangy yeast flavor; it's light bodied and refreshing. The Double
Eagle Imperial Stout is based on an 1880 Whitbread Triple Stout recipe
and is deep and dark as a Moscow night. The Bohemian Pilsner
is a classic matured on a Czech lager yeast and dry hopped with imported
Saaz hops which produces luscious malt and hop flavors. Seasonal
ales include a spring Weizen Bock, a summer Blackberry Porter,
and a fall Oktoberfest. Snug Harbor Old Ale is made in
the late fall and Cave Bear Barley Wine with a fruity bouquet of
sweet malt, ample hops, and warming alcohol is brewed up each winter.
 The
Grants Pass location features a showcase brewery and restaurant.
The copperclad 15 BBL brewhouse fuels five fermenting tanks, four bright
beer tanks, and a bottling line capable of 1800 BBL per year. The
original Cave Junction location brews in a 7.5 BBL system. We are
open 7 days each week and tours are given as the brewer's time allows.
