The second stop on our "Northern California Better Beer Tour" brought us to Russian River Brewing where we attempted to have dinner. (Note to all: do not try to go to Russian River Brewing for dinner on a holiday Friday night and expect to be able to eat within 90 Minutes. It will not happen). The place was packed solid. A friendly patron was nice enough to share his table and some dining advice. We sat down long enough to have a beer and talked with him about the local cuisine.
While I couldn't pass up the chance to have a Pliny the Elder at the source, my ever increasingly daring wife took a shot at the Perdition. (Note* Pliny the Younger will be pouring mid-February.) The Stats:
| Original Gravity: | 1.058 |
| Alcohol by Volume: | 6.1% |
| Color: | Reddish brown |
| Bitterness: | Mild |
Perdition is called a Biere De Sonoma in the tradition of the great Biere de Garde’s of Belgium and is available as a pub draft only. Perdition is usually available year round in limited distribution only in California.
Additional Beers on Tap included:
O.V.L. Stout, Happy Hops, Row 2, Hill 56, Blind Pig, Janet’s
Brown Ale, Pliny the Elder, Erudition, Supplication, Damnation, Temptation, Consecration
and Mortification.
