I'm starting to appreciate them more and more. When I first started drinking craft beer, I couldn't stand IPAs as a whole -- and especially not intense West Coast-style ones -- but now I can get behind them and even love some, much like this one. Cheers, man!

Fun to watch people who have never had Pliny describe their experience. I pay right around $5.99 a bottle for Pliny. Since Russian Rivers expansion bottles are much easier to get and most good bottle shops almost always have it. Cheers !

It really is awesome, Bud! I was just happy I was able to share it with those dudes. They're great guys and there was no way I wasn't sharing it with them. I'm just happy they enjoyed it! Yeah, even at $6/bottle, that's great value. It's such an awesome West Coast DIPA. It's always great to hear it's easier to get nowadays. Cheers, brother!

@@averagejoe716 Im new to your channel so im not sure if you've reviewed it but Beachwood Brewery's Amalgamator IPA is fucking fantastic. I recently discovered it and I grab it when Pliny is out of stock!

We had one drop of Beachwood stuff here in Buffalo, NY. It was late last Summer, and that showed up along with their Citraholic. Unfortunately, the Amalgamator was pretty old in comparison, so I grabbed the Citraholic. If we somehow get another drop at some point, and Amalgamator is relatively fresh, I'll be all over it. Appreciate the recommendation, dude!

Your welcome for the beer. Pliny the elder is a great west coast ipa. Hopefully next year I want to go for the Pliny the younger beer relice @ the brewery but not into long lines but it's on my beer bucket list. Cheers 🍻 🍻 🍻

We can't thank you enough for sending it our way, Billy! Those guys loved trying it, and I was happy I got a chance to revisit and properly review it. Honestly, it was just as good as I remember it, and maybe a smidge better. I hope you get a chance to tackle Pliny the Younger. I know that is a bucket list beer for many, so it'd be cool if you finally got a chance to slay the beast! Cheers, buddy!

Pliny and its little sister Blind Pig are always on a "1 per person" shelf in the beer stores across Los Angeles county. But you guys nailed it, massive flavors but retaining balance across board, making it extremely satisfying. $6+ per bottle average across Southern California (call it inflation.....)

Never had this one, yet..Sold out at Bier Cellar in 20 minutes, on the recent drop. Sold out, in one day, at Whole foods. And no plans for any re-drops anytime soon, i hear.

Despite all that, it's still cool it showed up on the East Coast. Maybe they won't re-drop it anytime soon, but once it shows up once -- especially a classic like this -- it's bound to happen again. That is what happened with Heady Topper and Focal Banger, and now they show up at least a few times per year in many different states. Here's hoping, RoYP! Cheers!

Had a bottle last night. I am not to impressed. It was watery. Same problem with Stone beers, you are constantly being reminded, you are drinking a beverage made with water. I got one more bottle in the fridge, and that could be the last one i ever buy. On the last RR drop, the bottles seem to be sitting on the shelf now. Pliny is on its way to becoming a shelfie, here in Maine. I had more fun the the STS Pils.

That's unfortunate. The beer we drank was 100% spot-on to what I remember it being, with a slightly more smooth and creamy body. Funny that Pliny is a shelfie in Maine, and I've never seen it on the shelf in NY. I'd buy the ever-loving crap out of it based on the bottle we had. That Pils sounds good, though. Cheers!
