More Than Just Award-Winning Microbrews: Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Company

August 7, 2012 by

It’s a rare occurrence when hobby homebrewing becomes something more, but for Rob & Laina McFerren, their pipe dream became a reality. After Rob got bitten by the brewing bug, he turned his attentions to finding a way to do it on a larger scale, and in 1997 Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Company was born. With help from friends and family, they built their first brewery and bistro, and it wasn’t long before locals were flocking to their door for great beer and food. At any given time Wolf Creek offers over 10 beers on tap, including award-winning brews like the Golden Eagle Ale and Howlin' Hefeweizen. If you're new to their brews, opt for the sampler, which includes six four-ounce glasses that provide a range of the brewery's offerings.

On the food side, regulars recommend the spectacular olive tapenade, which overflows with robust flavor when you spread it on fresh-baked crusty bread. If you’re a little hungrier, many say that Wolf Creek’s fish & chips are the best in the area. The steaks are also delicious, with the tri tip sandwich being a popular choice. An expected secret about Wolf Creek: their desserts are heavenly, with luscious treats like chocolate layer cake, carrot cake, and banana pecan caramel upside down cake homemade each day by the on-site pastry chef.
