2011 Pliny the Elder

Give it a taste and report back!

 

Drink it as penance and bottle your tears.

 

Use it to make beer batter for some killer fish tacos.

 

Drink it.

 

Try it......

 

Save it for a museum.

 

No harm done in popping it open and trying it, otherwise you'll never know.

 

Do a blind side by side with a fresh PTE and see if you can tell the difference.

 

Nobody is allowed to murder a Pliny. Drink it as your penance for such an ugly thought. It might be a bountyful experience.

 

It deserved a better fate than sitting unknown and unloved 7- 8 years. You must try it, but I bet it sucks a bit.

 

Had a similer old Pliny last fall. It was not drinkable. But try anyway. Can’t dump a Pliny.

 

You should seriously review this side-by-side with a fresh one. I think it would be interesting to see how time has affected it. I've tried some outdated IPA's (things get lost in my fridge, too ) and have been pleasantly surprised at times. At worst, it won't do you any harm, and you can always assemble your dry ingredients for beer bread and/or fish batter ahead of time just in case. Sláinte!

 

At this point i'd definitely save it as a collectible. It's value is purely historical relic now

 

From May 2018 share. From Dan Kochakian’s basement (what else is buried down there? It’s like a museum). Not drinkable but w/much respect— dumped it off the porch vs down the drain.

 

Yeah I tried a year old Pliny one time and it was not fun. No hops at all. Basically sparkling water with a light barley/malt taste.

 

How does this happen?
