Fodor's Expert Review Russian River Brewing Company

It's all about Belgian-style ales, "aggressively hopped California ales," and barrel-aged beers at this famous brewery's Santa Rosa pub. The legendary lineup includes Pliny the Elder (and Younger, but only in February), Blind Pig IPA, Supplication sour (aged 12 months in used Pinot Noir barrels), and many more. A second, larger pub (more seats, more beers) operates out of RRBC's production facility in Windsor.
