Monk's Café Flemish Sour Ale

Allagash Foudre-Aged Belgian-Style Quad
MAINE - Allagash Four is the brewery’s version of a Belgian-style quadruple, and this is special version of that monastery inspired brew that was fermented with lactobacillus and pediococcus, then aged for nine months in an oak fouder. This time in the wood vessel adds a fruit-like complexity and gentle sourness to the dried fruit and sweetness of a traditional quad. 8.5%abv

Russian River Beatification
CALIFORNIA - Inspired by breweries in the Lambic region of Belgium. It is 100% spontaneously ferment – no yeast is added. The hot wort, basically beer-tea, is pumped into a long, wide, shallow “vat” to cool overnight. This liquid collects wild yeast and bacteria to inoculate and ferment this wild ale. The next day it is transferred into oak barrels that had been used for wine fermentation, for further aging & fermentation. This is awesome. (2022 Vintage) 6%abv
Russian River Blind Pig
CALIFORNIA - Perhaps my favorite West Coast IPA. Solid hop aromas and finish backed up by the perfect balance of malt. 6.1%abv
Russian River Consecration
CALIFORNIA - A brown ale aged in a Cabernet Sauvignon barrel (Silver Oak) for six months. Fresh currants added. I get the beer, the barrel, the wine and the fruit. This is one easy drinking beer, but be careful, it weighs in at 10%abv. This really rocks! (2022 Vintage)
Russian River Intinction Sauvignon Blanc

Russian River Pliny the Elder
WINDSOR, CALIFORNIA - A bit of history first: Vinnie Cilurzo brewed America's first Double IPA, named "Inaugural Ale", back in 1994 at Blind Pig Brewing Co, Temecula, CA. Then Vinnie was hired as the original and only head brewer at Korbel Chanpagnes Cellars' foray into brewing - Russian River Brewing Co. Vinnie and his wife, Natalie bought the brewery a few years later and opened their Santa Rosa location. Vinnie is the originator of this style and he still brews the best version, Pliny the Elder. Brewed with copious amounts of Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe hops. Very hoppy, but not a hop bomb - the balance of the malt and hops is extraordinary. Super drinkable, but be careful it's 8%abv.
Russian River Pliny the Younger
CALIFORNIA - Brewed Once a Year. Triple IPA loaded with hop flavor, bitterness, and aromatics. Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, Nectaron, Simcoe and Warrior hops – plus this year, Vinnie added Tangier hops. Those hops balance the inordinate amount of malt used to brew this big beer. Strong notes of citrus, stone fruit, tropical fruit, and candied orange peel, all balanced with a medium, lingering bitterness. Deceptively smooth with very little heat – especially considering the abv being on the high end. First brewed in 2004 and the basic recipe has remained intact, but Vinnie tweaks it a bit every year with that year’s barley & hop crops. 10.25%abv
Russian River Porter
CALIFORNIA - This robust porter was the first beer Vinnie brewed at their Korbel brewing facility, and that original recipe has changed very little. An excellent rendition of the style. Dark, full-bodied ale with notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. This is a rare treat outside of California. 5.75%abv
Russian River STS Pils
CALIFORNIA - A classic, unfiltered, European-style Pilsner. Straw in color. Hop forward with a mild malt foundation, distinct lager yeast characteristic, and a dry, bitter finish. Perfectly balanced. 5.4%abv
