1. Russian River Brewing Co. This Santa Rosa, California brewery is the capo among beer canaries—schlubs who sing craft beer’s highest praises. It’s named for the 110 mile river that runs from Mendocino through Santa Rosa to the Pacific, but the current California drought is making suitable dumping pools less abundant. Just remember, if it comes time to send some schnook to his Damnation, remember: whack a g**nea in the river where we get our Pliny.
