1. Russian River Brewing Co. 

Insider Monkey Score: 9

Russian River Brewing Company was established in 1997 by Korbel Champagne Cellars among the majestic redwoods in West Sonoma County. After 6 years, Korbel decided to get out of the beer business and agreed to transfer the brand and all recipes to their head brewer, Vinnie Cilurzo. 

Starting this fall, Russian River Brewing Co. in Windsor will have canned beer on store shelves for the first time in its 26-year history. The 2022 release of Russian River’s Pliny the Younger generated $6.1 million in economic impact, a record for the brewery and $1 million (20%) increase compared to 2020, the last year that the Triple IPA was released. 

Russian River Brewing Co. is the Top Craft Brewery in the U.S.
