Russian River Framboise For A Cure 2016 Will Be Draft-Only

From Russian River:

October is coming and we are gearing up for our annual breast cancer fundraiser for the Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation right here in Santa Rosa! "Framboise For A Cure 2016" will be released a few days BEFORE October 1st due to our participation that day in Cantillon’s annual Zwanze Day celebration! Due to our very busy schedules right now, we were unable to get this year’s batch of Framboise bottled in time for October. But that also means we will have it on draft at the pub longer! And, since 100% of the proceeds of Framboise is for charity, we will sell a limited number of growlers to those who want to share with friends and loved ones who also support this very important cause. More details on "Framboise For A Cure 2016" and Zwanze Day coming soon!

Have you ever known anyone crazy or dumb enough to build a new brewery and remodel an old house at the same time? Well, now you do! Vinnie and I had been looking for brewery property AND a larger house for us and our 3 kitties for the past couple of years. Two years of in-and-out of deals on land while being outbid on several houses in this ridiculous housing market was an emotional roller coaster. What are the odds we would close escrow on both dreams on the same damn day?! It all collided the morning of June 9^th. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but it’s all going to be okay. Just need 5 more hours each day for the next 2 years! We started demo on the house this week, and are in heavy design mode on the brewery. Most of our equipment manufacturers have been selected along with our design and engineering team. Ground-breaking is currently scheduled for Spring 2017. If all goes as planned, we hope to open our beautiful new brewery in Windsor, California, in Fall 2018!
