  • Bear Republic Brewery Tour!
    In their final California instalment, Jonny and the Brad have their minds blown at Bear Republic.
    Simply expecting to have some delicious fresh Racer 5, instead they found a brewery quietly making every beer under the sun, including some spontaneous ferments and cask beer.
    Brewing in wine country has its advantages.

    Yeah that certainly would be a mind blowing trip just to that brewery alone. Cheers guys!

    Just cracked a Racer 5 and wanted to watch something appropriate to pair with it. Great video, people like Ryan make all the difference, passion and knowledge of the product coupled with a willingness to show others the fruits of their labour. Great viewing, I'd love to visit.

      Amen to that! Come morning you usually remember the beer, but you always remember the people.

    Good stuff. I've not tried much from Bear Republic but everything I have tried has been absolute quality. Every beer is always unbelievably well balanced and drinkable. They definitely seem like one of the good guys, will keep supporting them!

      +Carlos Vélez pretty much how we felt - and then on top of that was the barrel ageing we had no idea about. Shows the breweries making all the noise aren't the only guys making all the good beer. We learned an important lesson.

    I went a couple years ago and was expecting a similar experience. To my surprise and luck, they were offering flights of their Tartare sour series. Great stuff.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel

      +Garrett Stetson tartar!? Like...raw beef?

    • @garrettstetson3585
      @garrettstetson3585 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Craft Beer Channel Not sure why they call it Tartare, but that's the name of some of their sours. No hints of beef in the nose or taste.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      haha, should hope not. Though I've had beer with meat in, and fish. Crazy world we drink in.

    You lucky buggers having access to all these great Brewery's. Living in Australia can be a disadvantage when we are so far away. Thanks for sharing another great video. Cheers 🍻

      +RackOff Brewing haha but you have great brewers too! But maybe fewer with barrel projects.

    Racer 5 is a great IPA! Recently reviewed Cafe Racer 15 and was super impressed! Probably one of the best West Coast DIPAs that gets distributed! Hop Shovel is damn good too. Really awesome to see the behind the scenes stuff. Gotta make my way out there. Also had no idea about the BA stuff. Cheers guys!!! :)

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it's definitely worth the trip - especially as it's only about 25mins from Russian River and hundreds of vineyards!
      We were really impressed with the beers. Always forget how drinkable Racer 5 is. Much as I love East Coasters, the malt/hop balance means you could spend a whole day drinking Racer 5 and not really notice. Not true of Hop Shovel though, that badass packs a punch.
