Russian River Blind Pig IPA
« on: December 29, 2010, 03:56:00 am »
Is this worth driving 30 minutes to drink on tap?  What hops did Vinny use in this one?  Is it just a smaller version of Pliny?

If you are only that far, go to the brewpub and try the IPAs on tap.  They are all different, and my wife likes the Blind Pig, which uses a lot of Chinook if I remember.

You can see what is on at their website under the "brewpub-what's on tap" pull downs.

If you can get it where you live, then no, probably not worth an extra drive. If you cannot, then yes, might be worth it depending upon your likes and dislikes. I also advocate going to the brewpub.

If you are anywhere near the brew pub it is a must stop. They have kick ass pizza too.

I stopped in a couple years ago and Vinny was there.  He stopped what he was working on and gave me a personal tour of the brewery.  Very nice visit.  They make some great IPA's, but I was more there for the sour beers.
