Russian River (2020)

Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu. I went on a Monday and got in line 20 minutes before opening. We were in the first 15.

 

I'm personally hoping that Valentine's Day means people have to go elsewhere.

 

I’ve only ever done all three pours of PtY the past three years hah!

 

Silly question: Anyone know whether they have WiFi at the Windsor location? Thinking of making it a "working" day during the week.

 

Me too. Got the girl a massage in the AM so I can run out and check the lines.

 

They do but you won’t be getting any work done haha.

 

I am heading up with my girlfriend to the Windsor location and staying from the 10th-11th. Any recommendations on other nice spots for hours not spent at the brewer, or any general suggestions would be highly appreciated!

 

Barley and Bine, near the Windsor RR, is a great beer bar with some food options.

 

You should go check out Cooperage, Henhouse, Moonlight, Beer Craft, Barley and Bine and down south Adobe Creek is definitely worth check out.

 

Awesome thanks, I heard about the Artisan District just north of the Windsor location and i'm sure she will like the wine and cider. Not sure we wanna hop down into Santa Rosa to but if so I definitely want to check out hen house and moonlight!

 

Also worth checking out Sebastopol, maybe 20.minutes or less south west of the Windsor location. Woodfour and seismic both make good beers, there's at least one more brewery there plus wine bars, winery tasting room, and cutesy Sonoma county shopping stuff.

 

A few people have already started lining up at Windsor location.

 

OMG OMG OMG!!! NEW BEATIFICATION TOO!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

Ooooho, was hoping the newest batch of Compunction, but I guess I'll settle for Beatification.

 

Because this seems to be ongoing questions and answers from people in the know...
1) it seems clear to get pty you need to wait for a seat at bar/table then order bottles with other drinks etc. it’s very clear it’s not sold in gift shop.
2) so if I want to get the other releases will I need to get in line for gift shop before or after my pty routine? I’ve never been to Windsor location. I’m assuming the “gift shop” is where all the other to-go bottles are being sold?

 

+ this new Intinction beer. Looks promising.

 

shhhh that's the best part of that post

 

My guess, based on the info I've seen and the layout of.the Windsor location, is that if you want Pty you will have to in line.to get a wrist band. At that point you will be able to redeem the wrist band tabs for a pour at one of the bars or redeem the bottle tabs in the bottle shop/gift shop.

 

Somebody on HI Beer Friends FB posted a video from 2 hours ago on the line situation at the Santa Rosa location. If you are familiar with that location. The line is from the back side of RRBC where the parking lot is to the front of the brewery. Again this was posted 2 hours ago.

 

This promises to be a very expensive road trip.
