Booth: Russian River Brewing Co.

Do you have pants on? Asking for a friend.

 

how do I get more?

 

Vinnie, have you had Henry's (Monkish) Blind Pug?

 

Please please please distribute to Massachusetts!!!

 

Love Happy Hops. My go-to first pint in Santa Rosa. Great beer.

 

Sir, this is the first time I have had this beer. It is my Moby Dick. I really have enjoyed all the hype around the beer and the associated family. Would you ever consider non-C hops?

 

2hearted or pliny? Bling pig

 

What’s your favorite moment in the brewing process?

 

So, what chemistry job did you have before becoming a brewer?

 

OMG this is art and science!!! Love and Respect!!!

 

I purchased 4 IPA Fest boxes to get a 4 pack of DDH PtE. Am I insane? (It's worth it btw. Great beer, Vinnie. Well done).

 

Vinny dropping the mad biochem on us ... never heard about that isomerization before!

 

I have bad hearing, so I keep thinking he's saying BB8 (not DDH), which could be an interesting cross-over Star Wars beer.

 

Hi Vinnie! Could you describe the difference between pliny the elder and pliny the younger?

 

what did you do before brewing? You seem to be very strong on the chemistry of beer

 

First time Pliny! It comes close to an American Barleywine, with the astringent and pithy bitterness, crystal malt sweetness, and lingering alcohol 'heat'. A great beer that seems to straddle the line between styles. Is this a fair characterization?

 

Can you talk a little bit about how Pliny the Younger release went during Covid? I'm sure the city of Santa Rosa missed having everyone in town.

 

Love the beer - love the brewery! I made it a point to visit the brew pub several years ago when I was in the bay area. Keep making amazing beer!

 

Being able to order a case of PtE or DDH PtE or mixed cases has been a huge bonus over the last year. Typically shops near me would limit purchases to a single bottle. Do you plan to continue home delivery in CA?

 

Have you ever considered an industrial supply crossover with Pliny the Welder?

 

Solid version of Pliny, no bitterness. Will this be a year round beer?

 

I am in heaven. This is amazing. Thank you so much. Are there caramel/crystal malts in the recipe?

 

Hi, why is Pliney the Younger only released once per year?

 

What hops do you love to work with and are you excited for any new hops out there?

 

Did you change the recipe because of scaling up?

 

I've had some years Pliny the Younger, my favorite beer currently is Pliny the Elder, and I've had Pliny for President. What of the Pliny family is your favorite and why?

 

What's your worst moment?

 

As an og brewer what advice do you have for new brewers?

 

God Damn. That's all. I bow to the kings,

 

for me, an empty can of pliney!

 

Will there ever be any Blind Pig variants similar to the recent different Pliny offerings?

 

Edgar—you just summed up the experience I had the first time I had this beer—religious! Cheers!

 

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck, or a hundred duck-sized horses?

 

Tell me about that headset

 

don't do it!

 

Or use a hundred horse-sized duck carcasses in a porter wort?

 

Vinny is the Walter White of Craft Beer.. just saying. RESPECT!!!

 

Vinnie you're awesome

 

Thank you Vinnie and keep up the great work!
