Russian River Brewing Co. “It Takes A Lot Of Great Beer-To Make Great Wine” Ale, Santa Rosa, CA.
This Winemakers Session Beer from the famed Russian River Brewing Co. is a blonde pale ale that is made in tribute to harvest time work done by the vineyard and cellar workers that crave a ice cold tasty treat during their busy season. This version is mildly hopped and refreshingly fruity in style with an almost Pinot Noir essence adding complexity to the bright Belgian style white ale notes. While not as intense and stunning as their famous Pliny the Elder, maybe the world’s best beer, the Winemakers brew is a delightful and rare beer that is perfect for the late fall summer like weather we are having. Russian River Brewing Co. is a must for beer and wine lovers, check it out the next time you visit the wine country, they also have a super pub and serve up a great pizza and snacks too in their downtown Santa Rosa location. Only a tiny amount was bottled, so be sure to get a move on to find this beer. Happy Harvest! Cheers!
