Russian River Brewing Company

Santa Rosa, CA

Russian River Blind Pig IPA
IPA - 6.1% ABV
Pete
     Very good IPA, and it's cheaper than most. You don't get a lot of IPA's that come in on the cheap side. Definitely worth drinking, though I'd probably just splurge on Pliny if it's there.

​Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's

Russian River Pliny the Elder
​Imperial IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Unreal beer. This beer is extremely popular among hop-heads (you might say it has a cult following), so I had to get it when I saw it. It didn't disappoint. I was surprised at how clear it looks, could almost pass for a macro lager, at least until you taste or smell it. It's everything you want in an IPA. A little bitter, a little citrusy, a little piney, pretty strong, yet somehow easy to drink. It's dangerous. Also look at that beautiful mug right behind it, how can you say no?

Russian River Propitiation
Sour Porter - 7% ABV

     This is pretty darn weird. I like weird, but this might even be too much for me. It's funky going down with some malty weirdness in the finish.

Russian River Saison
Saison - 6.1% ABV

     This is just a perfectly executed saison. Crisp and drinkable, yet spicy and a little funky. Awesome.

Russian River STS Pils
Kellerbier - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     Very good pils, but it's a pils. Not a ton of flavor, but super crisp and easy to drink.
