Pliny Near Philly

Still no bottles of Pliny in Phila area...........sadly I must say too.

On tap? The best opiton would be Monks in Philly, they seem to have it on tap the most.

I agree though, I have a huge hankering for Pliny, been awhile for me too. Good luck.

 

Does anybody besides Monk's ever get RR? As far as I know, Monk's is the only place on the east coast where you can find any of their stuff.

 

Yes, Pliny and Blind Pig show up on tap at various beer bars. And bottles of of the -ation beers are around at bottle shops

 

What is roughly your route?

Yes, Monk's is not exactly kid friendly

 

As has been discussed Pliny the Elder is draft only in the Philly area and is periodically available at craft beer bars.

Right now there are two versions of Pliny the Elder available on tap at Terresa’s Next Door (Wayne, PA):

· Pliny the Elder Double Dry Hopped

· Pliny the Elder

FWIW I always request a sample taste of this beer prior to ordering a full glass since this beer is very sensitive to age/handling and I have on occasion tasted PtE will little to no hop aroma.

Now if only Hill Farmstead would ‘fully’ return to the Philly area like it was 6+ years ago.

Cheers!

Edit: I see that it is also on tap at the Boathouse (Conshohocken, PA).

Usually priced at $1/oz. and with a thick coating of dust on them.

 

I'm not much help on the NJ side, but maybe others will chime in.

For Pliny specifically, this helps but only covers participating places in the city. I know other places in the PA suburbs have had it recently.

Several bars in the Philly area will get RR from time to time (or most of the time). I was drinking STS Pils and Happy Hops (both on tap) labor day at Pinocchio's in Media, PA (just outside of Philly)

 

Troubles End (Collegeville) has Elder, DDH Elder and Blind Pig on their guest beer list.

 

I was in Wayne last week and there was a note posted on the door at Teresa's that said "Closed for Vacation". I noticed on the their website that the draft list hasn't been updated since August 30 so you should try calling them to see if they have reopened before heading out there.

 

Tuesday Sept 14th reopening.

 

sancho pistolas always has Pliny on tap, it's not super kid friendly tho.

 

For anyone in the NW suburbs, Troubles End on Collegeville still has Blind Pig, Pliny, and DDH Pliny on their guest taps.

 

Monks may also have Dinner. Which is better than Pliny. You can't change my mind.

 

I probably disagree, but I think it's a lot closer than most people will admit.

 

I don't think so. One is classic grapefruit character, the other is more tropical with newer hops (citra and mosaic). I'm not sure they're really that similar and it's more a matter of individual taste.

 

Yup, a classic example of 'apples and oranges' so to speak.

Cheers!
