Pliny the Younger

In their defense, they did post on their twitter page today:
"Hello to all you beer sibling lovers! Sorry for shamelessly leading you on. No Pliny yet but please stay tuned!" @11:02 AM
I'd figure if people saw the tweet with todays date, they would've checked their twitter page before they went there tonight. Luckily for you, they're not the only ones getting it.

 

Yeah I thought we were good to go. No posts here and none on the beer blogs, Higgins was shaping up to be a pretty low key first tapping. Then the tweet this morning. Too bad they didn't follow through.

 

Personally, I hope it shows up before Saturday and gets tapped during the day, when most people are stuck at work at work and can't get away. Sorry people-who-have-work-that-cant-break-away-at-the-drop-of-a-hat,its nothing personal

Because its going to be a mad house at APEX on Saturday

 

Nah i saw the post mins after on twitter. Just dont post a time date and dont deliver

Dude, this was their original tweet: "I hesitate to say this but it is looking like feb 27th for the baby of the family. We would tap it at about 4." If you read that as "Younger will definitely be on at 4pm on the 27th" then you should work on reading comprehension, as it clearly connotes uncertainty. (Not to mention that everyone has been uncertain about when the kegs will actually arrive, and is at the mercy of RR / distributors on this, like so many other releases.)

 

I called u assholes. I wouldnt put this place on blast if they didnt. I asked higgins if this was referenced to PtY, they said yes indeed. So eat it.

Dude, take a couple deep breaths. Getting this worked up over a beer can't be healthy.

 

Lol at "put this place on blast." I'm sure they couldn't care less. Have you ever been?

 

Seriously. I'm sure they are just broken-hearted at losing your business.

 

Apparently they are tapping it next Wednesday at 8pm? Thats what the twitter gods are telling me. I am curious if this means that Apex and others won't be receiving it in time for their event Saturday?

 

Dude, you don't understand. That 1 day was the difference between fresh, super-hoppy Pliny the Younger and a faded, lifeless shell of a beer.

 

1 day!? I mean, its going to be nearly a month old by the time PtY gets to PDX. Everybody should just pass on it. Don't even waste your time, people.

 

kscaldef was the comment i was replying too. U hippies can be quiet. Ive been to Higgins too. Not mad just dont say you got a product, date it, then fall through. Just common business sense. Apparently a few of you have no clue of that. Lies lies
A-

 

Ya APEX suppose to tap in on Sat. But who knows man, we went in there feb 8th and lady bartendar said "Pliny is here, in the back...check Twitter for tapping" it wasnt there. PtY this yr alot crazier and everyone is in the dark on it.
A-

 

They never said they had it. No one has it.

 

The tweets seemed to suggest it arrived today, although if that's that case I haven no idea why they would wait a week to tap it.

 

At least you bastards are getting it. Quit complaining.

 

It only seems as if 1 person is complaining like a little bitch, but perhaps my reading comprehension also sucks

 

The best, most entertaining NW thread in a very long time!
