russian river brewing company
last weekend TM, JVG, JC, and I went disc golfing at novato. however, before a disc was tossed we made a detour toward santa rosa for a couple brews at russian river brewing company.
- one of my favorite things about the russian river pub (aside from all their on-premises conditioning and barrels) is the huge new albion sign hanging above the bar. for a little brewing history, check out these articles on Jack McAuliffe and new albion.
- JVG ordered up the O.V.L. stout, TM and I picked up an emprircal 7 saison (sessionable, but not remarkable), and JC couldnt decide, so he ordered the taster.
- the waiter brought back the most impressive taster I have ever seen – 14 beers were lined up for sampling! it gave all of us a chance to try some beers that we woudn’t have otherwise been able to order up.
- after sampling a mulitude of offerings, I couldn’t help but go back to one of my favorites – temptation. JVG and JC each ordered up a consecration.
- the best part of the trip? on sundays, all beers are $3.25 all day!
- after unsuccessfully trying to convince the waiter to fill me a growler of temptation, we rolled out of russian river towards petaluma… (to be continued!)
