Bear Republic Brewing, Healdsburg
The Bear Republic brewpub is located in downtown Healdsburg which is very wine-centric since it is located in the Napa Valley. The place is filled with fancy shops (french bakeries, cheese shops and wine stores galore!!) and boutiques.
If you're ever in Healdsburg, and I highly recommend visiting the city, stop by Bear Republic, have a pint or two if you want a break from the wine.
Russian River Brewing Co., Santa Rosa
Russian River Brewing is about 20 minutes south of Healdsburg. Russian River Brewing is not a very large brewery, compared to some other craft brewers but has won countless awards and they produce one of the most coveted beers in the nation, Pliny the Elder. The brewpub is located in downtown Santa Rosa and it is always packed with beer enthusiasts. The food is also very good.
If you ever visit, grab yourself a growler because their beers are not often available at your local pub.
Lagunitas Brewing Company, Petaluma
Lagunitas is about 20 or 30 minutes south of Santa Rosa and is located in an office park. Lagunitas has a great outdoor patio with a mini amphitheater and another mini stage for live bands. I think this is where all of Petaluma comes to party.
At Lagunitas, I met this lady waiting for her date she met on match.com. She introduced her date as her "match.com" date to my friends and I as if the situation between the two of them was not awkward enough. When he briefly walked away, she told me that Lagunitas was a great place because if your match date doesn't work out you can usually find someone else in the crowd. I wonder how the rest of their date went?
Brew tours are fun as long as you're not the designated driver. Cheers!
