Pliny the Younger



Pliny the Younger was Pliny the Elder's nephew, in the case of this beer, the "Younger" is a triple IPA. Pliny the Younger is hopped three times more than our standard IPA, and is dry hopped four different times. 


Once again, the above is stolen from Russian River's webiste. The younger is a brew that is difficult to find. In fact, I've only had it once, but what a beer it was. One of the finest IPAs that I have had the pleasure of drinking. Very hoppy and full. If you can find it anywhere be sure to order one. It's usually found in the spring, as it is a seasonal brew.

  1. I didn't like the real Pliny The Younger (his books/letters), maybe I'll like the beer! :P

  2. It's always hard for me to find a good IPA, most are wayyyyy too hoppy and have no flavor that sets them apart. Will have to give this a try.
