Plans to open a second location in Windsor , just north of Santa Rosa , began before the 2017 Sonoma County fires . In 2016 , the Cilurzos partnered with Comerica to finance the project , and the Windsor Planning Commission approved the new brewery , pub , and restaurant the following year . By September 2018 the new brewery was completed and operational . The Windsor facility opened its doors to customers that October . The Windsor facility is differentiated from the Santa Rosa location by its larger size , free parking , expanded menu , and guided brewery tour . The Cilurzos hoped that the two locations would give tourists and local customers the opportunity " to come and spread out and enjoy the experience on their own terms , " especially during the annual Pliny the Younger release , which sometimes resulted in lines around the block . Windsor officials hoped that the new location would be a financial boon and make the city more attractive for similar businesses , and the city 's " Windsor Hopper " shuttle service , linking local hotels , wineries , and breweries , was unveiled coinciding with the 2019 Pliny release
