Ummm…yum. Russian River Brewing Company was established in 1997 by Korbel Champagne Cellars among the majestic redwoods in West Sonoma County. After 6 years, Korbel decided to get out of the beer business and agreed to transfer the brand and all recipes to their head brewer, Vinnie Cilurzo. Vinnie and his wife, Natalie, were excited to pursue their passion for craft beer together and opened their first brewpub in Santa Rosa in April 2004. Pliny the Elder, first brewed at the Korbel location in 1999, was one of the first commercially brewed Double or Imperial IPAs in America and won numerous awards over the years. They continue to wow beer-oriented taste buds with their signature brews, including their limited edition triple IPA (you read that right) Pliny the Younger. This year's release is at the end of March - early April. Don't miss it! Did we mention Russian River Brewing Company is .2 miles from Hotel E's front door, aka 2 minutes on foot? Forget the uber, enjoy the beers.
3 Disciples BrewingTheir slogan is "innovative ales that will make you think", but we think "innovative ales that will make you see god" also works. Brewers James and Matt pray at the ale altar, exploring and perfecting their small batch brews and making sure nothing less than a heavenly sip meets your lips. Beer truly is their religion, and after a pint or two, it will probably be yours too. Their Santa Rosa Plaza taproom includes a delicious food menu so you can pair your sacred sips with equally uplifting nibbles. Oh, and they're .1 miles away from Hotel E, or a 1 minute walk. Amen.
Fogbelt owners and head brewers Paul Hawley and Remy Martin both grew up in Sonoma County where the redwoods meet the vineyards. They come from winemaking families- both their fathers were professional winemakers and they grew up working in the cellars. The old saying, "it takes a lot of beer to make wine" rings especially true for these long-time friends who have been brewing together since 2004, when they worked the grape harvest in New Zealand. Remy went on to study brewing at UC Davis and they started working on recipes and dreaming of making beer professionally. The first official batch was brewed in 2013 and the taproom opened in February of 2014. Their passion, love and background shines through each unique offering, from hazy IPAs to crisp, classic lagers and hearty Irish coffee stouts. Not to mention, they do a killer burger. Only a five minute drive or Lyft from Hotel E….

"When the three of us met, it was immediately clear we would start a brewery together. There was no period of hemming and hawing; we got straight to it." Owners Shane, Collin and Scott knew from the moment they met it was beer kismet! HenHouse Brewing Company offers some of the best brews for miles, and they're walking distance from Hotel E! Their Saison is not to be missed…
