Pliny the Younger, released today!

I just stopped by Russian River this evening and picked up a growler of Pliny the Younger, their triple IPA as well as the Elder, double. So I should be a happy camper either tomorrow night or for sure Wednesday. Can't wait!

Pliny the Younger

ABV - 10.35%
IBUs - GOBS (according to the board at the pub)

 

must be nice to live so close to a brewery

I use to live outside Cleveland...and Great Lakes Brewery...that was nice...

Now I live in Phoenix and have 4 Peaks Brewery right down the road...don't know if you ever heard of it but they have some pretty good stuff.

I want to try the Pliny stuff...I've been waitin for the right time...just tried DFH for the first time.

 

Gah.

I got the email, but I'm too far away. I'll be up there sometime this year. There is a chance I'll be spending a few months in Livermore this summer, in which case I'll definitely be stopping by RR.

 

Was three today. Sold in 10oz glasses and it was plenty. Good stuff, get it while it lasts!

 

The 10 oz glass was a delicious treat. But the $30 growler fill? I'm not sure it's more than twice as special as Pliny the Elder.

Here's a picture of the bitter nectar

 

Ahhh, what I wouldn't give for a pint or two of Kilt Lifter.....

 

*eagerly awaiting the kegs to arrive in Philly*

 

I still think the younger is overrated. It is an interesting beer, but I'll stick with the elder, thanks.

 

It is like a holiday beer, where you only get a month to enjoy it.

Carnevoodoo, I totally have to disagree with you . For being so big and hoppy it is amazingly balanced. There was no sweetness that a lot of IPA's have and the abundance of hops is not overpowering or oily. I will admit though, it is a f***ing healthy price to pay. Course after one 10.5oz beer I was feeling very good.

 

How did you get a growler of younger? They are VERY adamant about not filling growlers of pliny this year. No bottles and you cant take it out of the bar. Not to mention that they are only pouring 10oz pours.

 

Well, you dug up a post from 2 years ago, so there's your explanation.

 

Plus the quote in your signature is a Drew Carey joke.

 

Should have noticed that...

Got it off of Tosh.0's stand up...

 

Yeah that's what I figured. It is almost word for word from Carey's Showtime special.

Good joke either way.
