North Coast Brewing Company Unveils Chill Rasputin, a New Take on the Legendary Old Rasputin

FORT BRAGG, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- North Coast Brewing Company (NCBC) is proud to introduce Chill Rasputin, a refreshingly approachable stout inspired by the iconic Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout. Available in 16-ounce four-packs, Chill Rasputin offers the roasty character of fans loved for decades in a lighter, more sessionable format.

In keeping with the brewery's sustainability efforts, Chill Rasputin four-packs feature Eco-Rings®, a 100% compostable alternative to traditional plastic can holders.

A new addition to NCBC's award-winning portfolio, Chill Rasputin reflects the brewery's commitment to innovation while honoring the craftsmanship that has defined North Coast Brewing since 1988. Designed for both longtime Old Rasputin devotees and new craft beer drinkers, the beer offers a fresh take on one of the brewery's most celebrated brands.

"Old Rasputin has developed an incredibly loyal following over the years," said Jennifer Owen, CEO. "With Chill Rasputin, we created a beer that honors that legacy while offering a lighter, more approachable option for a wider range of occasions. It's still unmistakably Rasputin, just a little more relaxed."

Brewed with the same attention to quality that has made Old Rasputin a craft beer icon, Chill Rasputin layers dark chocolate and roasted coffee over a smooth, sleek body. The result is a flavorful stout that delivers rich character without the weight or intensity of a higher-alcohol beer.

At just 4.5% ABV, Chill Rasputin is crafted for today's drinkers who want full flavor in a more easygoing package. Whether enjoyed around a backyard firepit, at a live music event, or after a day hiking, Chill Rasputin brings a more laid-back side of the Rasputin family to enjoy every occasion.

Chill Rasputin will be available in early October at select retailers. Check the beer locator on northcoastbrewing.com to find Chill Rasputin or make a trip to the Brew Shop at the Pub at North Coast Brewing Company for Chill and other NCBC beers.
