I stopped in at Carneros Brewing Company in Sonoma, California to try their beer. Looking over the selection I decided to go with something different. I tried the Sangre De Naranja Tart (barrel aged sour). What a delicious and refreshing beer. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also tasted the Baluberry X-Tra Pale Ale which was also tasty.
I stopped in at Petaluma Hills Brewing Company in Petaluma, California. Their Line & Twine IPA is delicious!
Stopping in at Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, California, is a real treat. I have been thinking about Pliny the Elder all week. And, he did not disappoint! When you think Double IPA, Pliny is essentially what anything else is compared to. Its awesome. Hoppy, Smooth, Strong. I paired it with the Clipper pizza (pesto, mozzarella, artichoke hearts and bacon) which made for a fantastic lunch. If you are in Northern California you simply MUST stop in at Russian River Brewing Company.
