Russian River Brewing Company

Russian River Brewing ist eine Brauerei in Santa Rosa, Kalifornien.

Damnation

Damnation, the first in our long lineup of Belgian-inspired beers, is a medium-bodied golden alke. Pilsner and pale malts along with a Belgian yeast strain give this beer a nice balance of fruit and spice. Damnation is refermented in this bottle to create its fine carbonation. Spend yeast cells form a thin layer of sediment in the bottom of this bottle. Pour slowly, allowing the natural yeast sediment to remain in the bottle. (Zitat Russian River Brewing)

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, "lupus Salictarius", meaning wolf among scrubs." H ops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, humulus Lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle’s legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pliny the Elder, the beer, is brewed with 40% more malt and over twice the amount of hops as compared to our already hoppy IPA.

Blind Pig

A full-bodied, very hoppy brew with citrus, pine, fruity notes, and a nice dry, bitter finish! This West Coast IPA is true to its style as it is very hop-forward with just enough malt character and alcohol to balance it out. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

STS Pils

“STS” is the 3-letter code for our local Sonoma County airport, the Charles M. Schulz Airport. STS Pils is a classic German-style pilsner but with a Russian River twist because we dry hop this beer with a small amount of European hops. It is straw in color and will often have a slight haze due to the fact that there is a small amount of yeast left in the beer. This beer is hop-forward with a firm malt foundation, strong lager yeast characteristic, and a dry, bitter finish.
A truly great Pilsner is a difficult beer to perfect, as its light crisp flavor profile leaves little room for error. Modern brewing techniques (such as open-top fermentation) and old-world traditions create the distinct qualities in STS Pils. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 92/100 ratebeer Punkte. In der Kategorie Pilsner belegt es Platz 27.

Happy Hops

Happy Hops was originally brewed by the Grace Brothers Brewery in 1944 right here in Santa Rosa! Their brewery went out of business in the 1960’s, but we wanted to resurrect “Happy” and a new fun beer for him to enjoy! It is also a way for us to pay homage to the Grace Family and their brewing pioneer history. Happy Hops is an incredibly hoppy India Pale Ale with an immense hop aroma and flavor and a mild bitterness. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 91/93 ratebeer Punkte.

Mind Circus

Mind Circus IPA has a mild bitterness and a thick, luscious mouthfeel. This style of IPA is what is being called in the beer world a “Hazy IPA”. Dominantly herbaceous and grassy, with moderate tropical notes as well as some bright citrus. This unique hazy IPA gains its flavor of grapes and grass from the Nelson hops, and its tropical notes of pineapple and mango from the Strata hops. It is unfiltered leaving a “haze” and some yeast for more texture. Oats were also used to add to the softer mouthfeel and hazy appearance. This beer acknowledges and celebrates everything that keeps us up at night. Maybe it’s work, the kids, a project you have been procrastinating, or building a brewery. We all have our own version of the Mind Circus! (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 95/90 ratebeer Punkte.

Hopfather

Brewed once a year if the hops are available. This beer is all about the hops! Northern Brewer is used for the bittering hop, Amarillo and Centennial for dry-hopping. The hop flavor and aroma are the stars of this beer. There is a nice balance with malt and alcohol but Hopfather is all about the hops! This is truly one of our house favorites- just ask any employee! (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Shadow of a Doubt

This imperial porter packs a rich chocolate/cocoa, toffee, dark coffee and light smoked malt character with a very soft, dry finish. There is subtle hop bitterness and hints of tobacco. Shadow of a Doubt is our imperial porter named after the great Hitchcock movie filmed in Santa Rosa in 1943. Shadow of a Doubt (the film) is a psychological thriller film noir that was often said to have been Alfred Hitchcock`s favorite picture. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Perdition

(Biere de Sonoma) Inspired by the great Biere de Garde of Belgium, this beer has nice malty and spicy characteristics throughout. Not an amber ale but similar; less hoppy, less sweet, drier, and spicier. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Beatification

This beer is very unique and inspired by breweries in the Lambic region of Belgium and, especially, our friends at Cantillon. It is 100% spontaneously fermented, meaning yeast is not added. Once the beer is brewed, it is transferred to a cool-ship or “horny” tank located in our barrel room at the pub. There it sits overnight and collects whatever funky wild yeast and bacteria may be living in the room. The next day it is transferred to oak wine barrels where it ferments wildly and ages for a few months. The end result is a wild, spontaneously fermented, sour, and tasty hand-crafted beer! (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 100/100 ratebeer Punkte. In der Kategorie Sour / Wild Beer belegt es Platz 4.

Intinction Sauvignon Blanc

Although we have made this beer once before, it was only available on our guided tour and for special events. The base beer is a Pilsner aged in Sauvignon Blanc barrels with the addition of Sauvignon Blanc grape juice from the 2018 harvest for a secondary fermentation. The juice and barrels are from Dutton Vineyards in the Russian River wine appellation here in Sonoma County. There is no lactobacillus or pediococcus added to the beer, only brettanomyces. The tart acidity comes from the wine grapes. This beer is delicate and beautifully balanced, a perfect refresher on a warm summer day! (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 99/98 ratebeer Punkte.

Sehr lecker. (2022, getrunken bei Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa)

Intinction Merlot

Intinction Merlot is aged in Merlot barrels with Brettanomyces (Brett), Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and several other wild yeast and bacteria`s along with fresh Merlot grapes. Approximately 30 % of the fermentables in this beer are derived from grape juice, resulting in distinctive flavor characteristics of the specific grape varietal used. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 99/98 ratebeer Punkte.

Sehr lecker, Klasse. (2022, getrunken bei Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa)

Consecration

Dark Ale aged in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from local wineries. It is aged for 4 to 8 months with black currants, brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus added to each barrel. Rich flavors of chocolate truffle, spice, tobacco, currants, and a bit of Cabernet. Very full-bodied, sip slowly! (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Row 2 Hill 56

100% Simcoe hops make up this beer from start to finish! It is named for the location in the experimental hop yard in Yakima, WA, where it was first created. Simcoe is grown by 3 families in the Yakima area, from all of whom we buy this particular hop (and other hops) — Carpenter, Perrault, and Smith. This is one of several beers we plan to make in our NEW “Hop Grower’s Series” highlighting certain hops from our growers! It has that trademark Simcoe nose with citrus and pine, nice bitterness and tasty hop flavors round it out. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 99/100 ratebeer Punkte. In der Kategorie Pale Ale - American belegt es Platz 7.

Sehr lecker, Klasse. (2022, getrunken bei Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa)

Dribble Belt

What the heck is a Dribble Belt? Aside from being a hoppy, tasty low-gravity session beer, a dribble belt is a very important component of a hop picking machine. The dribble belts separate the hop cones from the rest of the plant material- the vines, stems, and leaves. Multiple conveyors beneath the dribble belts collect the lightweight hop cones and carry them along through the machine to the kiln where they are dried. The vines, stems, and leaves are then transported to become compost. Interestingly, the hop picking machine was invented right here in Santa Rosa, California, by Florian Dauenhauer in the early 1940’s. This invention changed the hop farming industry forever. The dribble belt is the machine component that literally separated the hops used to make this beer! (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 95/99 ratebeer Punkte. In der Kategorie Session IPA belegt es Platz 22.

Das Bier hatte eine gelbe, ganz leicht trübe Farbe, eine feine Nase, dezente Hopfennoten, am Gaumen vollmundig mit dezenter bis feiner Süße, feine Hopfennoten, leicht salzig, eine moderate Bitterkeit und aromatischem Nachhall. Ein leichtes elegantes IPA, sehr lecker. (2023)

Supplication

Brown Ale aged in used Pinot Noir barrels from local Sonoma County wineries. It is aged for about 12 months with sour cherries, brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus added to each barrel. Flavors from the cherries, Pinot Noir and oak balance each other nicely with a little funk from the brett. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)

Das Bier hat 100/100 ratebeer Punkte. In der Kategorie Sour Flemish Ale - Flanders Red / Oud Bruin belegt es Platz 1.

Propitiation

Propitiation was born from one of the six components of the Toronado 25th Anniversary beer. It was aged in used wine barrels for 12 months before being removed and carbonated. The beer is dry and light in body but full of rich chocolate and coffee notes with a mild sour/tart finish. (Zitat Russian River Brewing Company)
