wild rose brewery

i just love you guys.greatbeer, awesome atmosphere and delicious food. whenever i feel a bit homesick ( i moved to canada 4 years ago from germany) and would like to have a beer hall feel the wild rose brewery is my first choice. and the moment i bite into my best wurst and take a sip of a nice beer any homesickness disappears.

update:
still agreatplace to go have a beer, but unfortunately i have to say the food has really gone downhill the past couple times i visited. sadly i'm decreasing my original 4.5 rating to a 3.5.

--------------

what agreataddition to calgary's brewery scene! the tap room has a really cool beer-centric, industrial vibe, and all the staff are very friendly (not to mention super knowledgable about beer!). each main comes with a recommended beer pairing, which is a pretty cool concept. after much deliberation i decided to try the pulled alberta brisket sandwich with a side of beef & barley soup (16.95). i have to say, it was pretty delicious. the bbq sauce hadgreatdepth of flavour, and the meat was wonderfully tender. the house made pickles added a welcome crunch and acidity to the rich meat, and it all came on a fresh pretzel bun that supplied the perfect bun-to-filling ratio. the beef and barley soup was also really good, featuring a rich savoury broth.  i also sampled the blackened chicken club (15.95) which was very tasty. it came with a side of corn chicken chowder (the soup of the day) which was really, really good - creamy and delicious! i'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

i've enjoyed wild rose for many years now and have visited with just a friend, other couples and even larger groups. we've always been well looked after. today the "old gang" met for lunch and a beverage. we had agreattime. the food was tasty, service efficient and friendly, and the venue is perfect for a group to meet, chat and catch up. did i mention they have beer? they have very good beer. check it out.

i finally came here & i am glad i did. the servers are super friendly & very attentive as soon as my beer was done they where there to see if i would like another with lots of info on all the beers. i ordered the phyllo wrapped brie with maple syrup & pulled albertan bison brisket sandwich. the phyllo wrapped brie was amazing everything worked together beautifully its a perfect appetizer. the sandwich was also very good the bison meat has agreatflavor but can be very dry but there's was very good.

they're beer and people are always fantastic. and i usually havegreatfood when i visit as well. however, when i visited this time the brewers lunch was not up to their usual fare. the bread was very dry and there was more pickled vegetables than any meat or cheese combined - which you would usually expect with a plowmans lunch. it wasn't bad by any stretch, just not up to the standard i have come to expect from them.

great experience.. what i liked most was the patio! most patios have traffic right beside, it was so nice not to listen to traffic noise!greatfood, beer, and service, an exceptional experience all around. brisket sandwich should be bigger, it was so good i could have had 2!

best beer i have ever had.. i frequently visit wildrose and love it! especially in the summer when the patio is open. service is always good, food isgreatbut the beer is the best part. wraspberry ale, velvet fog, and electric avenue aregreatif you like lighter brews (my personal favorite)... microbrewery perfection.

i also really enjoy the atmosphere and that it's off the beaten path. you don't have to get all decked out to come here and feel welcome. it's got that laid back, prairie kind of feel without being redneck.

overall, the day wasgreatand i’d highly recommend hitting up wild rose yourself if you want to learn a few things, drink somegreatbeer, and eat delicious food.

amazing atmosphere. i have always enjoyed pub food. i had a hummus, which i wouldn't consider pub food. it was fantastic. i tried one of the local beers called velvet fog superb. i met a friend here, his food looked just a good. we had 2 more friends showed up. there food and selections were just as good looking. i will have to remember this place, when i am back in calgary.greatplace.greatstaff.

every time i have come in for beers and appetizers i have never been disappointed! the food is exceptional, the beer isgreatand the service is well...greatcompany!greatjob!!!

dry, overlooked chicken in which there was a large chunk of wood and non-existent service. the beer wasgreatbut extremely overpriced. worst meal i've had in years. completely avoid if you're looking for a bite to eat.

fantastic!!!greatbeers, food all slow cooked, no frying. awesome!!. i love the fact nit 1 tv in entire place, everyone interacts, makes it a trulygreatpub.

love this place. awesome food and beer.greatspot to chill and not too expensive. always busy though, best to make a reservation before going.

keepin' it real....greatplace!. stopped here for a hurried dinner one night, recommended by a family member from edmonton. very unassuming place...looks like a student pub but welcomes everyone. service is fantastic, respectful and professional. the menu was quite broad for a pub. i had the vegetarian chili and it was a fine dish, along with the cornbread. the beer is outstanding and brewed on site. prices are very reasonable. it may be a little awkward to find, the first time...but well worth it. will be going back again...and again...

a wild rose a day will keep the doctor away.greatbeer,greatsoups, andgreattimes!
