Russian River Brewing Company - Happy Hops Ale

Happy Hops was originally brewed by the Grace Brothers Brewery in 1944 right here in Santa Rosa! Their brewery went out of business in the 1960s, but we wanted to resurrect “Happy” (the hop on the logo) and create a new fun beer for him to enjoy! It is also a way for us to pay homage to the Grace Family and their beer pioneering history. Happy Hops is an incredibly hoppy India Pale Ale with an immense hop aroma and flavor and a mild bitterness. Intense citrus flavor and aroma with pronounced grapefruit characteristics. Mildly bitter with aromas of blueberry, mango, and other tropical fruits. The hop-forward character of this beer type is often referred to as “juicy.”
