Monks Pliny the younger

In my opinion/experience:

If you just want to try Younger, I would say you can show up after 1:30/2pm (to avoid the initial line) and be okay. In the past, the pours have be ~6 oz for $10-15 CASH. So, it lasts most of the day as Monks typically taps at least one 15.5 gallon keg ( I think most of the other places get a sixtel.

I should note that the Younger event is usually on a Monday. I've seen Younger pouring as late as 6pm on a Monday event. So, a Saturday event may get more attention. However, I don't know if people are as interested in Younger as much as the additional beers being poured.

I typically come in around 2/3 and have never been disappointed.

Good luck!

PS: I don't recommend drinking into the city unless it's via public transportation.

 

I'm here now as a matter of fact!

 

How's the line?

 

As expected, it was around the block! I only got here around 11am, so I was lucky to get a nice spot in line!

 

You are the only other person I have heard of with the last name caffarella. Are you originally from Philly?

 

I was not born in Philly but my grandparents lived in Philly for a long time! I have to be related to you somehow lol

 

It isn’t a very common name, so there is a good chance

 

some additional PtY trappings have been announced;

 

Ah nice, I was counting on the Boathouse having it, so I can just pop over real quick at lunch when they announce it. Local 44 also did a surprise, day-of announcement by email yesterday morning. I was tempted to go but ended up deciding not to.
