And your question’s not relevant.
The airport is part of the incorporated city of Santa Rosa. The airport is two miles from the river. The river is two miles from the city of Santa Rosa.
Well, I lived in Sonoma County for 15 years,

Ignoring your mistaken assumption about my "experience"...
(I live in the North Bay. As I pointed out, it’s not relevant because even if I lived in New Jersey I could still read a map,) your argument was faulty from the beginning. First, you made the argument about Santa Rosa, not the Russian River Brewery. Secondly, the premise was silly. Where do you think Santa Rosa’s water comes from, Brett Tomko’s magical pixies?
As for why you want to yell, I take no responsibility for your mental state.

and while it may be technically correct
to say that there’s two miles between where Santa Rosa’s incorporated and the Russian River, there is considerably difference between what is considered Santa Rosa and what’s incorporated. The airport is literally seven miles from downtown. It’s a good three to four miles from even the “suburbs” of Santa Rosa.

And I said
“It’s like two miles outside of town”.
An indefinite pronoun, true, but you clearly understood I was talking about the River and not the Brewery or Brett Tomko’s talent. By “town”, I meant Santa Rosa, which you also seemed to clearly understand.
Since I define a “town” as encompassing the whole of the town and not just the downtown area, my statement that the Russian River was “two miles outside of town” was correct. If you wish to redefine the word “town”, feel free to attempt to do so.
Preferably somewhere else.
In any case, look at the post below this one,
if you feel the need to indulge in this pedantry any further. The brewery’s original location was Guerneville. I’m done. Enjoy your last word.
what a dickish way to end.

I apologize, Nate.
No need to get so heated. You’re right. Two miles between them.

It took me half the night, but I realized my problem here!
Nate and Nick are two different people, and I’ve not realized this! I’ve been thinking the guy I’ve been friendly with for a while now was going all Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on me. I’m so sorry, Nate. I wasn’t coming at you straight because I thought you were someone entirely different, who in turn I thought was coming at me sideways. Please forgive. I will not make that mistake again. Sorry if I got you riled up.

History:
In 1997, Russian River Brewing Company (RRBC) was founded by Korbel Champagne Cellars in Guerneville , California . Vinnie Cilurzo was hired as the Brewmaster. At the Great American Beer Festival in 1999, RRBC and Vinnie were awarded “Small Brewing Company of the Year” and “Small Brewing Company Brewmaster of the Year”. In 2002, Korbel decided to leave the beer business and sold the brewery to Vinnie and his wife, Natalie. Now located in Santa Rosa , California

Oh hey, look at this:
Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, “Lupus salictarius”, meaning wolf among scrubs." Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, Humulus lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle’s legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
So this totally makes sense.
thin, I'd say
too obscure, and the beer probably too heavy on hops.

Too heavy on hops? Is there such a thing?
(PtE is actually pretty balanced for a Double IPA. It’s plenty hoppy, but it’s not an out-and-out hop bomb like Lagunitas’ Hop Stoopid or Stone’s Ruination)
word, Pam
I’ve never had a brew that was too hoppy

wasn't the thing about Pliny the Elder
that he wasn’t able to flee from Pompeii in time?
possibly because he drank too much beer?
The second half of that might be speculation.
