It was a sad day today as we had our last lunch at the Wildwood pub here in Calgary. Most of the beer tuns had been drained and only a few pilsners, dark ales and sour cherry porters remained for us to partake in. After speaking with Brewmaster Brian Smith, he mentioned that the lease was renewed by another (new) owner and they are now in the stages of dismantling things and moving out.
There is no word yet on where Wildwood will relocate to, but Brian said that is the goal. Both the restaurant (upstairs) and the brewpub (downstairs) will close its doors forever tomorrow (Saturday, December 19).
I hope that the crew down at Wildwood are able to find a new location soon and Brian can get brewing that Cranberry-Orange Witbier he was alluding to a few weeks back….
Thanks for the beers and the great food Wildwood and I hope to see you again soon.
