Russian River to expand?

I surely wouldnt complain about having 'local' RR

 

This would be great! I'm 2 hours away from them and its still in incredibly hard to get any of their brews.

 

They're talking about expanding production, not distribution. I'd be shocked if they expanded into any new markets at any point in the next few years.

 

Considering they just pulled out of the state of Washington, I can't imagine they are going to be expanding to new markets.

 

that is weird considering not even a week ago they said:

To squelch any other rumors: we have NO plans for expansion at this time. Those conversations are still at the "Vinnie and I chatting on the couch in the evening over a couple glasses of wine" phase.

Since they just pulled out of Washington state, I'd love to see them do anything that might eventually get them back here. Miss them already.

EDIT: Beat me to it kevanb

 

I hope they expand to the Bay Area, it would be nice to get Russian River in CA.

 

Even if they expand their production capacity by enough to be able to return to Washington, they won't until the WA laws change.

 

We just legalized pot and gay marriage. How hard could this be?

 

I love Pliny
And this sounds crazy
I want to drink more
So expand maybe

 

New distribution (Projected)

A few counties in CA
Some stores in Denver
Three shops in Philly (but only expired product)
One bodega in North Providence, RI.

I can live with that.

 

Maybe Sacramento County is included in their future distribution plans.

 

Hopefully they have so much wine they pull the trigger and build it bigger. They can always build UP.

 

After their pull out of Washington and shooting on the tummy, I don't feel that the expansion will be any time soon. in the Weekly email I get from them the talk is just in "couch conversation". But who knows, plus the expansion will kill my trade bait.

 

This is one of these posts that gets me dreaming. I'd love it if RR could somehow expand production on their sours without compromising quality. In my opinion, their sours are totally unique. Does any brewer in this country make sours that even compare?

 

West coast locals Cascade, Block 15 and Bruery make decent sour stuff. Dunno bout rest of the country.

 

I agree. They need to supply the markets they're already distributed in better before they widen their reach.

 

don't they already have a few places they rent out to begin with? I'm curious as to what these possible expansion plans would include
