Pliny the Elder, Russian River Brewing, Santa Rosa, California
Don’t let the non flashy label fool you. This Double IPA is just flat out awesome. I immediately taste pine/citrus that is no way overpowering. I got to enjoy this on tap which I am sure added to the experience. If you are an IPA fan and like the high ABV’s (this one 8%), then go for it. I see a sixtel in my future.

We FINALLY got to try this at this awesome beer bar in San Francisco called Toronado. I’ve heard so much about it and finally can agree, yum! They had many Russian River brews on tap there, and I also tried the Blind Pig IPA. It isn’t as potent as Pliny, but is a very tasty IPA too. Can’t wait to go back and pay $5/pint.
