Located just off the freeway in Grants Pass is a stop perfect for satisfying your pizza itch. Or how about brewery itch? Here you will find both! At Wild River Brewing & Pizza Company they serve up tasty brews to pair perfectly with your pizza. And with 5 locations, they’ve even grown into a small Southern Oregon chain.
A New Name For A New Brewery
It all began in 1970 when owners Jerry and Bertha Miller opened their first pizza establishment operating under the name, “Shady Oak’s Pizza Deli”, in Cave Junction. They liked to joke, "Blame us if your life goes to pizzas” and that became the theme of the restaurant, fun, casual and light hearted.
By 1990 they wanted to produce equally tasty beverages to accompany their already delicious pizza. After a short identity crisis, a name change was in demand and Wild River Brewing was born and their current brewing operation in Grants Pass began.
Traditional And Fun Beers Are Brewed Here
Today you will find 14 beers on tap, many with fun names that take after the people, land and surroundings. “Harbor Lights” is a Kolsch style ale, and “Hellgate Haze” is a hazy IPA, they even have a seasonal “Blackberry Porter” made with 12 lbs of Oregon blackberries per barrel.
Come by on Tuesday's for their $3 pint of beer special!
