We caught up with Vinnie Cilurzo (owner of Russin River Brewing Company) at the 2010 Beeradvocate Extreme Beerfest to ask him some questions on the rising popularity of his brewery.
Russian River's "Pliny The Younger" has been recently ranked #1 by Beeradvocate.com as the best beer in the world. Vinnie is also credited with the invention of the double IPA style of beer.
