Cheers with Ed

Ed Wilder and Matt Johnston toast St. Patrick’s Day.

Ed Wilder, left, and his friend Matt Johnston toast St. Patrick’s Day with Solera Red for Ed ale Thursday at the re-opening of Wilder’s store daBrewshop Home Brew Supply and Taproom. Dozens of friends gathered to welcome Wilder back to his shop, which had been closed for three months following Wilder’s stroke in November. Dana Price has purchased the business and it is open Wednesday and Thursday, 5-9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 5-10 p.m. Current tap selections include Red for Ed and Full Sail’s Ed SUPPorter, both brewed in recent months with sales benefitting Wilder’s rehabilitation fund. Out on Cascade, patrons admired Wes Heustiss’s 1927 Model T with custom copper panel art work.
