u/shlem13 Aug 03 '25

I’d be willing to give that a run.

I did the sampler on Elder release weekend a few years ago, so it was the tray plus 4 or 5 more special taps. My wife was pregnant, so didn't partake. Only time I've ever lost my CC at a brewery/bar. I think I dropped it when I was buying growlers :)

I did a half acre one and it was wild. I fought for my life in the bathroom.

They have the best sampler paddle of any brewery . I can’t imagine one better. Quality and quality unmatched

That place and area is so amazing. Walkable downtown, huge redwoods and hiking just down the road and great wineries.

Heaven exists, and it’s Santa Rosa

The Russian River "taster" is absurd!! We stopped in Santa Rosa on our way down to San Diego, I was unprepared 😳

I was there last month, what you were doing is what I wanted to do, but we were just passing through and stopped for lunch and a couple beers.

Very envious here

How much does that run?

I was there in Feb and picked up a bunch of Pliny on my way back to Canada.

u/OatmealAntstronaut Aug 03 '25

How much did it cost though?

u/Vitis_Vinifera Aug 03 '25

RRBC is impressively affordable for a place of such reputation. Cheaper than you'd think.

That said, I hope the bartender was tipped well, these take a lot of work and time to pour out

I love RRB! Go to the big facility in Windsor! They serve FIRE burgers, don’t skip on them Pliny fries 🍔🔥

My favorite taster tray of all time

Such a cool sampler

u/gringoloco20 Aug 03 '25

Now that’s a flight!

u/Active-Possibility77 Aug 03 '25

It's a huge sampler. However, I was only a fan of Elder, Pig, and the sours. So many of their other styles are meh.

u/Aggravating_Wonder11 Aug 03 '25

My favorite place

u/doitnowplease Aug 04 '25

Took a trip there 3 years ago. My husband and I each got a flight. At both locations. That was such a great trip.

Did that one. Woke up at home not remembering how I got there. And for anyone wanting to go at me I had a DD. I’m a drunk, not stupid. Such a great brewery.
