They are expanding into Santa Rosa and Erin will manage their restaurant in Montgomery Village. They will open soon, after one last regulatory step. There is a buzz in the neighborhood and people passing by are noticing that it looks like a restaurant already. They will have an extensive beer selection and a full menu including pizza, salad, wings, French fries, fried cauliflower and pickles and lots more.</p> <p>Barry tells about how they serve a rotation of beers, so that fans of different types of beer can keep coming back for their favorites. He also says this is one way to make the brewers’ jobs interesting.</p> <p>They are using a lot of new technologies with their hops, including hop distillates, extracts and experimental hops. Fieldwork Brewing also works with <a href="https://berkeleyyeast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Berkeley Yeast</a>. This company is engineering yeast to mimic certain flavors. This goes mostly into the hop-driven beers and their non-alcoholic or “N/A” beers.</p> <div id="attachment_149" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.russianriverbrewing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149" decoding="async" class="wp-image-149 size-medium" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-300x150.jpg" alt="russian river brewing co." width="300" height="150" srcset="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-300x150.jpg 300w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-768x384.jpg 768w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-149" class="wp-caption-text">Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.</p></div> <p>Amidst the current downturn in the beer market, Fieldworks Brewing is actually growing. They are opening their tenth location in the Bay Area. The NHL’s San José Sharks have chosen Fieldwork as their official non-alcoholic beer. Some of their N/A drinks use compounds (with complex chemical names) which confer extra flavors as well as a mood lift, according to Erin.</p> <div id="attachment_3862" style="width: 330px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3862" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3862 size-medium" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo-320x60.png" alt="pizzaleah" width="320" height="60" srcset="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo-320x60.png 320w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo.png 518w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3862" class="wp-caption-text">Visit our sponsor <a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PizzaLeah</a> in Windsor for the finest pizza menu, great beers and the most authentic flavors around! 🍕🍻</p></div> <h4>A beverage company, not just a brewer of beer</h4> <p>Daedalus notices that Fieldwork produces an excellent product all across its product line including the N/A drinks, which elevates the quality level of the entire emerging market of N/A drinks. Barry explains that it took them some time to emerge in the N/A market. They waited for the brewing technology to evolve so that their N/A cocktails tastes like real ones, and their N/A beers tastes like real beer. So, if you want to go out with friends and not drink alcohol, for whatever reason, “…we have something for you,” says Barry.</p> <p>Fieldwork Brewing Co. products are available in many local retail stores as well as their locations.</p>

<p><a href="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/hanabi-lager-nick-gislason.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4201 size-thumbnail" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/hanabi-lager-nick-gislason-150x150.jpg" alt="hanabi lager" width="150" height="150" /></a>Nick Gislason, co-founder and Head Brewer at <a href="https://hanabilager.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hanabi Lager</a> Co. is our guest on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell.</p> <p>Herlinda Heras is just back from Belgium and brought back so much beer that she had to pay for overweight suitcases. Daedalus is also back from his own trip to Paris and London. He gets to reconnect with Herlinda for a few minutes before having to leave for an event later this evening. One of the beers that she brought back is from the Saint Sixtus Monastery in Westvleteren, that she visited, and Daedalus gets to taste it before he has to take off.</p> <h4>Hanabi is Japanese for “fireworks”</h4> <p>The labels feature drawings of the patterns that different Japanese fireworks make, up in the air. Nick explains that “hanabi” means fireworks, in Japanese. “Hana” means flower and “bi” means fire, so literally their word for fireworks means “fire flowers.” The fireworks manufacturers used these drawings in the 1800s to describe their products, before photography was available to show the patterns that they make.</p> <p>Nick grew up on San Juan Island in Washington, and learned brewing from an uncle who was a home brewer. In college he brewed at Boundary Bay Brewing in Bellingham, where he met his wife. They both became winemakers and launched Hanabi Lager about six years ago.</p> <div id="attachment_149" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.russianriverbrewing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-149 size-medium" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-300x150.jpg" alt="russian river brewing co." width="300" height="150" srcset="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-300x150.jpg 300w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-768x384.jpg 768w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi.jpg 960w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-149" class="wp-caption-text">Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.</p></div> <h4>Grain-Forward Lagers</h4> <p>Nick says Hanabi makes grain-forward lagers. They are tasting the Hana Pilsner, which Herlinda says has a refined taste. Nick explains that beer is made from grain, and water, and hops are like a spice. Hops is like the barrels to wine, where the grapes are the main ingredient. So Nick focusses his energy in using the most delicious grains in the world. That fact that these plants are so important to human nutrition for thousands of years makes them sacred.</p> <div id="attachment_3862" style="width: 330px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3862" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3862 size-medium" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo-320x60.png" alt="pizzaleah" width="320" height="60" srcset="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo-320x60.png 320w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo.png 518w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3862" class="wp-caption-text">Visit our sponsor <a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PizzaLeah</a> in Windsor for the finest pizza menu, great beers and the most authentic flavors around! 🍕🍻</p></div> <p>They select grains mainly for the flavor they give to the beer. These flavors mostly come from old heirloom varieties of grains. Heirloom varieties of grain can be compared to heirloom tomatoes, for their superior flavor.</p> <p>To make beer, Nick explains, first you grow the grain, then sprout the seeds, then you have to arrest their growth before it goes too far. Then you dry them and lightly toast them. This process is called malting. Then you steep a barley tea, spice it with hops, and ferment it, basically. They do four different beers, one for each of the four seasons. Each one features a different heirloom grain. The Summer beer uses Eraclea, a grain from Italy.</p> <p>Nick is also a part-time pyrotechnician. He works with Lopez Community Fireworks back home in Washington. They practice the Japanese art of fireworks.</p>

Leah Scurto of <a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PizzaLeah</a> and <a href="https://www.faxbrewco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fairfax Brewing Co’s</a> Dan McGarry talk to Daedalus Howell after that. Herlinda is on a barge on a canal in Belgium, on a beer voyage sponsored by Visit Flanders, the tourist bureau.</p> <p>Herlinda’s tour has taken her near the sites of some important battles of World War One. It included a visit to <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47380/in-flanders-fields" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flanders Fields</a>. They visited the <a href="https://www.trappistwestvleteren.be/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saint Sixtus Abbey in Westvleteren, Belgium</a>. The monks who live there and make beer were quite surprised when one of their beers came out Number One on RateBeer dot com. “The poor monks didn’t know what to do with themselves, but now it’s quite the destination.” They went to Rodenbach for a blending class and also to Chimay. Vinny and Natalie from <a href="https://www.russianriverbrewing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russian River Brewing Co</a>. are also in Belgium for the Brussels Beer Challenge. However they and Herlinda are on different itineraries this time and won’t meet up over there. Herlinda has also visited some small local breweries in France and Belgium. She will have a lot to say about her trip on next week’s show. “It’s tough but somebody’s got to do it.”</p> <div id="attachment_3862" style="width: 330px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3862" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3862 size-medium" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo-320x60.png" alt="pizzaleah" width="320" height="60" srcset="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo-320x60.png 320w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pizzaleah-logo.png 518w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3862" class="wp-caption-text">Visit our sponsor <a href="https://www.pizzaleah.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PizzaLeah</a> in Windsor for the finest pizza menu, great beers and the most authentic flavors around! 🍕🍻</p></div> <p>After Herlinda’s call, Leah Scurto from PizzaLeah and Dan McGarry from Fairfax Brewing Company take up the conversation with Daedalus. Leah has brought a Detroit-style pizza, to go with the nice rice lager that Dan has poured, a true rice lager. Detroit style has a carmelized cheese crown, cooked in a tapered pan. The dough rises for four hours in the morning.</p> <h4>Fairfax Brewing Company</h4> <p><a href="https://www.faxbrewco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fairfax Brewing Company</a> is based in Marin County and they are now gaining distribution in Sonoma County. Dan and his partner have been in the restaurant industry for a long time. They begin by going out to the people they know. Daedalus is the editor of the <a href="https://pacificsun.com/fairfax-fare-eat-drink-be-mcgarry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pacific Sun which did this story on Fairfax Brewing Co</a>. Their distribution is mainly by kegs to restaurants. Later they hope to put some cans on shelves. They celebrate their one-year anniversary on September 9th.</p> <div id="attachment_149" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.russianriverbrewing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-149 size-medium" src="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-300x150.jpg" alt="russian river brewing co." width="300" height="150" srcset="http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-300x150.jpg 300w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi-768x384.jpg 768w, http://brewhaharadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/russian-river-fi.jpg 960w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-149" class="wp-caption-text">Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.</p></div> <p>Their hazy is their number one seller, and the hazy is also the top seller at PizzaLeah. But Leah also reports people coming in asking for something that is not hazy. Trends have life cycles and while IPAs are here to stay, other styles will continue to emerge. Older drinkers have observed the evolution of craft beers. Dan says it has been “real fun to watch. … A good time for beer.”</p> <h4>The Pizza Business</h4> <p>Leah Scurto has built PizzaLeah’s success with great pizzas and also by engaging with the community. She loves teaching how to make pizza at the <a href="https://artisanbakingcenter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artisan Baking Center in Petaluma</a>. She also has been in many international pizza competitions. Daedalus and Leah agree that he local pizza scene has reached new heights. Leah cites <a href="https://psychicpie.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psychic Pie</a> in Sebastopol for their original takes on traditional styles, and a couple of others. <a href="https://www.sonomapizzaco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sonoma Pizza Co</a>. and <a href="https://www.slowcopizza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slow Co Pizza</a> are both stand out. Leah notices that the pizza community is supportive and friendly, not jealous of others or envious of their success. People gladly share recipes and advice.</p>

He met Virginia Grace when the Sonoma County Fair was the centerpiece of the social season. She didn’t know much about her family history in brewing and they started talking about it.

On Saturday Aug. 9 at 8:00 the Bennet Valley Grange on Grange Rd. there will be free a show of about 50 tables of breweriana wares. John does it almost like an antiques road show. He describes it as a combination of local history and collecting. If you have something you might be interested in selling to a collector, these are the people to meet.</p> <p>Grace Bros. was the fourth largest brewery in California during its heyday. They had other brands and produced beer in southern California too, in Los Angeles under the name of Southern. They had 140 different paper labels and 90 different can labels.</p>
