Wild River Brewing and Pizza Co

ABOUT WILD RIVER BREWING & PIZZA COMPANY

Jerry and Bertha Miller established Miller’s Shady Oaks Pizza Deli in Cave Junction in June of 1975. We expanded to Brookings Harbor in 1980 where son Darrel and his wife Becky manage the restaurant. With the theme “Blame us if your life goes to Pizzas”, we have always put our energy, resources, and imaginations to the test creating great food from fresh ingredients. With an interest in old-world crafts and a desire to add beverages that matched the flavor and quality of the foods in our restaurants, we ventured into the brewing world. And so in 1990, using the name Steelhead Brewery, we began brewing our award winning beer. 

Our desire to build an establishment using new ideas and concepts in the restaurant and brewing industry led to the birth of our Grants Pass facility. There we had space to install old-world, wood-fired ovens and a 15 BBL brewhouse with 5 fermenting tanks, 4 bright beer tanks, and a bottling line capable of 1800 BBL per year.
