    Hey guys, sorry to post this here, but I'm in desperate need of 2 Pliny's (1 if that's all you got) for TODAY. I have a few different beers I can swap for them. BM me if you can help a BA out. I'm in OC border of Santa Ana, Tustin, Orange area. I'll make good on the return. Cheers eveyone!

    Why not go to a place that has it on tap?
    Unless, you're using PtE for a trade or something.

    I've always had luck finding Pliny in San Diego at almost any given time.

    On tap it's easy for me to find. I need these bottles because my stupid friends decided to drink mine wihtout me knowing and I had them reserved for a trade.

    He probably needs it for a box that he wants to send out today. Wish I could help OP out but i'm dry on Pliny. I asked for it at WF in Santa Monica last weekend and was laughed at by the buyer and was told I should buy other, equally good, IPAs. :/

    Always replace the Pliny with the abundant, untapped reserves of Blind Pig collecting dust on shelves !

    I feel you, man. I dealt with something similar a month or two ago. The Bay Area finally seems to be getting adequate supply again, but that's obviously no help. Someone hook this man up!

    Believe me, I have plenty of replacements for Pliny, but this person was promised Pliny and Pliny he shall get.

    if you are willing to venture east you may have luck. La Bodega and El Cerrito in the Corona/Riverside areas have both had it at times. If you NEED it, then it may be worth the 91 trek... I wish you luck good sir. I just sent my last one out 2 days ago... otherwise I would say meet me for an exchange.

    I have not seen it at la bodega in a long time. It does not last long in SoCal, even with 1 bottle limits.

    When they get Pliny, do they put it out or do you need to know a secret handshake?
