Russian River Kicks Off Breast Cancer Awareness Month With a Pink Vespa

We hit the ground running this year with our fundraising efforts for the Sutter Breast Care Center!  The raffle items have all finally arrived and are on display at the pub.  Tickets are available at our brewpub but if you live out of the area and really want a chance to win the Pink Vespa, Ribbecke Guitar, or Adorable Pink Bicycle, shoot us an email and we can help you out!  Raffles will be held at our Halloween Party on October 27th.  You need not be present to win, but it’s a lot more fun if you are, or at least answer your phone when I and 200 costumed revelers call the lucky winners that night!

Framboise update: we are nearly out of bottles at the pub and about halfway through the draft.  We will probably go down to a smaller limit again to make it last just a little longer!  I will update the Chalkboard on our website when it runs out.  Thanks to those of you who are buying the Framboise, we have raised nearly half our goal for the Breast Care Center!  We also have really cute shirts online and at the pub!  Thanks again to everyone who is helping us raise money for a wonderful cause!

I gotta run.  Time to do laundry and start packing for the Great American Beer Festival.  This year we are pouring Pliny the Elder, Row 2 Hill 56, HopTime Harvest, Toronado 25th Anniversary, and Framboise For A Cure.   Hmmm… think I will just stay in our booth!  Cheers!
