New to the Chicago area, Eel River Brewery encourages you to Be Natural – Drink Naked. Located in Humboldt County's historic redwood forest and about nine miles from the Pacific ocean in northwest California, Eel River Brewery resides in Fortuna, California.

I have experienced some other organic beers that I have barely been able to stomach, but the Eel River beer lineup looks promising. Besides being the inaugural organic beers, they may just be the foremost. A perfect time for us beer lovers to try the Eel River beers is from April 1^st to April 7^th, when the Eel River six packs will be on sale at Binny's for $8.99 apiece, and the 22oz bottles will have a dollar shaved off of each. We'd love to hear your experiences with not just the Eel River beers, but with any other organic beer. Also feel free to let us know if you took Eel River's advice to Be Natural – Drink Naked.
