Russian River Brewing Company was established in 1997 by Korbel Champagne Cellars among the majestic redwoods in West Sonoma County. After 6 years, Korbel decided to get out of the beer business and agreed to transfer the brand and all recipes to their head brewer, Vinnie Cilurzo. Vinnie and his wife, Natalie, were excited to pursue their passion for craft beer together and opened their first brewpub in Santa Rosa in April 2004.

Need a break from online shopping today? Just a reminder that both pubs are now OPEN 7 days a week. Today we are featuring some tasty specials in Windsor with a French Dip and a hearty Brunswick Stew with too many ingredients to list. I just had the stew for lunch and it was yummy! Slice of the day at the Santa Rosa pub is chicken, mushroom and black olive. Our ever-popular BLT with thick cut bacon and heirloom tomatoes is also super delicious. Happy Hour at both pubs M-F from 4PM-6:30PM and all day Sunday! #rrbccrew #rrbcsantarosa #rrbcwindsor @hedleyandbennett

We only have a few cases left of each. Given their age, there may be some carbonation and bottle variation, but they are all tasting great! Also available at the Windsor Pub/Gift Shop.
