Russian River to expand?

Key word is MAYBE.

 

Yes.

 

Drink one Cascade and see me in the morning.
"A Cascade a day keeps the Russian River at bay."

 

Thanks for the suggestion!

Great. Another beer I have to trade for. There goes my surplus BCBS....

 

ISO expired RR sours

 

Expansion must mean supplying all of California. It would seem odd that they leave Washington only to distribute elsewhere.

 

True, however it is only now at the.. “in the middle of the evening discussion phase”.. So it is more like casual chatter around the fire, after dinner. It seems like a long, slow process of building excitement and demand. On the other hand, even if I was in their shoes, 10-20 million dollars is a shit town of debt to take on. My goal is to open a brewpub too, one day. If I were 1/10th as successful as the Cilurzo's, I would be stoked. So, I can see them not too eager to expand.

 

I 100% agree, I would be terrified of expanding. Sure they are destined to succeed, but why deal with the additional headaches. I found it funny that they released a statement to kill a bunch of rumors, including that of expansion, and not even a week later a blog is pushing the "RR might expand"

 

Asheville. Everybody's doing it.

 

would be all for them expanding and growing the business. Expansion does not always mean a decrease in quality. They have such crazy restrictions on how many of each beer you can buy at a time etc. If they did away with that alone they could probably double their size. I'm lucky by living in Philly, the one place east of Cali that you can actually get RR. Albeit at ridiculous prices

 

Already is .......? I've seen RR at Natomas bevmo . Also sacto is so close to RR why
worry

 

Why do want this to sound like a slow process?

Oh you meant "i would love to see this. Sounds like a slow process."

Go gators.

 

Natomas Bevmo hasn't carried RR in over a year and a half. The places in Sac that do get RR get such a limited alunt that it is gone in a day or two.

Why worry? It would be nice to be able to constantly pick up Pliny or sours locally an a random day, instead of getting lucky on the day they arrive.

 

Vinnie refuses to do business Bevmo anymore. He gave Bevmo 3 chances to keep Pliny cold and they didn't, so he said screw em and took his beers where they are appreciated and nurtured.

if you prefer

 

It would be nice to try Pliner The Elder and Pliny The Younger in my lifetime without having to go through the hassle of trading or driving out of my way/waiting on a long line at some special offering.

 

I agree. I can only get the Elder when i'm in west coast...that is if i'm very lucky.

 

Hah fuckers should be deepening their their distro not stretching their disto. They couldn't even keep up with Washington. Why expand now?

 

I live one hour from these guys and none of there beers are available in my town. So i drive one hour to buy them and visit the brewery. So I'm more fortunate than most, however it would pretty damn cool if I can just go grab a Pliny or a Supplication at the grocery store.

 

I live 2.5 hours from RR brewery and they sell like hot cakes here. Have my local whole foods and specialty liquor store on speed dial. Every 3rd week of the month is when their shipment comes.
