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.

    You're lucky, the beer was fantastic and Vinnie was truly passionate about this brewery.

  • Vinnie and Natalie are great people - I knew them back in Temecula during their Blind Pig days. The best beers in the world even back then.

  • The other owner of the brewing company is named Natalie Cilurzo, Vinnie's husband. Every year she raises money to help fight breast cancer. I made sure not to donate ANY money to that cause NOT ONE CENT even though my own mother died of breast cancer. I think the fact that I made sure not to help her cause at all even though as I said before my own MOTHER died of breast cancer is some measure of how I feel about this person. I knew that the more money raised the happier she would be.

  • Fuck you Vinnie! I want some Pliny the Younger and can't find any.  Make some more fucking beer!

  • Props to Korbel. Brandy and Pickles for life.

  • Vinnie's pretty clearly had quite a few samples of Younger here.

  • I've never seen anyone recieve an award and flat out say we don't really give a flying fuck, and not look like a douche noodle. Well played.

  • Drink Vinnie beer!
