Russian River Brewing's MOST ICONIC BEERS with Founder Vinnie Cilurzo

We are honored to share a conversation with Russian River Brewing Company's Founder Vinnie Cilurzo. We talk about Vinnie's homebrewing roots and opening his first brewery, before diving into the origin stories of 6 of his most iconic beers: Blind Pig IPA, Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger, Happy Hops, STS Pils, and Consecration. Plus, so much more! Vinnie will be revealing homebrew recipes of these beers in a BYO article dropping very soon.
