    Anyone know current bottle limit and price for Pliny? Last info I could find on the forum, was from Nov. 2014 - bottle limit 12 and $5.25/bottle. Is this current?

    You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the info and helpfulness. Are rare barrel bottles available around town? I noticed the tasting room doesn't have bottles available. Where should I look for them?

    When they do have bottles available it's only available at the tasting room, otherwise you're SoL outside of trading for one.

    Holy smokes. Fall River was a great stop on the drive down. Got to sample their single double and triple IPA. Was really impressed with all of them and the bartender Mark was great. Left with bottles of hexaGenia, widowmaker and a crowler fill of lip ripa triple IPA. Drinks dangerously light for 13%. I highly recommend a stop in Fall River for anyone driving I-5 through Redding.

    The owner lady, didn't catch her name, was really nice. She was moving kegs through the bar and offered to buy me a beer.

    Thanks for the recommendation Pacific BAs.

    Berkeley is not a late night town. Best late night options are East Bay Spice Co, or Tupper & Reed. Both are douchey with boring beer. The best tap list is at Perdition but the bbq is hit and miss. Fieldwork is an excellent brewery and worth a visit.
    The drive from Healdsburg to Arcata after a few beers would be crazy long. That drive requires serious concentration, it ain't I-5. I'd stay somewhere half way. Boonville is a cool little town. AV brewery is okay, but the town is cool.

    Had great stops at Fall River, Rare Barrel, Russian River, Cooperage, Bear Republic and Redwood Curtain. Fall River, Cooperage and Redwood Curtain were highlights. Guess I'm a fan of the underdog. Barrel aged wet hop racer 5 was the best beer anywhere and that includes beatification and FFaC at RR. RR was annoying having to wait in line 45 min despite showing up 10 min prior to open.

    A stop at Fern Canyon was the highlight of the trip. Such beauty in that park but I know this is not outdoors advocate so I won't go on and on.

    Cheers to all the Pacific BAs for your recommendations. I hope folks enjoy the sticky hands I left behind.
