    By "clients", do you mean "states"?

    Do they brew multiple batches? Otherwise PDX is looking at some not so fresh PtY.

    Chris. Correct me if I'm wrong on this (it's been several years), but when Higgins got the first keg of younger a couple years back, didn't you mention that you thought it was brought up directly from RR, and hadn't gone through the normal distributor? Just wondering if RR might do something similar this year, rather then just sending the kegs up through the normal distribution chain.

    It would be beyond nice if this happened this year in WA. I might be able to try it for a first time.

    I've been wondering if this might happen at Brouwers/Bottleworks, but hadn't heard anything.

    Glad I got to try this last year before they pulled out of WA.

    It was very very good, but I thought PtE was just as good (and hoppier).

    PtY was more peachy and maltier than PtE.

    I had at The Last Drop last February. It was damn good, but not worthy of waiting in line for hours or anything.

    I would've done the same, but we left for Hawaii that day. Still haven't had it, so it'd be cool if it did show up at Brouwer's or Bottleworks.

    I thought it was a little off last year but it was as great as ever this year. Worthy of the hype in my opinion.

    Got word today we're looking the end of Feb for PDX. Wording indicated it would be a newer batch.

    My friend asked the barkeep and they said it's first come first serve (no tickets).

    Good luck!

    Well hot damn, if that isn't the same day as Block 15's 5th Anniversary. Decisions, decisions.

    Some time between Friday and Monday, the Hop & Vine will have Younger, Notorious, Breakside Barberhop Quartet IIPA and Double Mountain Molten Lava IIPA all on tap at the same time. Tapping day will be announced the morning of.

    Keep in mind PDX is getting only half the Younger it did last year!
