Pliny The Younger 2018

To answer my own question, I see that the keg kicked in 20 minutes at Toronado.

Any line updates at the brewery today would be appreciated!

 

The RR IG account just posted video of the line. Looks like a 8 to 10 hour wait today.

 

Just watched that video. Wow! Are all those people going to actually make it in today? I would never get in a line like that.

 

Lasts about 20 minutes. Edit: Oops, you figured that out. That's pretty typical based on past years.

 

Lines probably about 140-150 ish right now

 

Crazy, this year is the biggest turnout for Younger ever.

 

Just made it in the first wave.. Pliny is tasting mighty good

 

Any line updates at the brewery?

 

Anyone know what the line's been like at 8pm?

 

Just called and they said 3.5 hours but who knows. Anyone onsite can update us? Save me a little driving

 

Got in twice over the past days, 3h10m wait on Thursday and 2h5m wait on Friday. I'll definitely be coming back next year for younger, I genuinely love that brewpub and it was good to see many of the same stuff as I knew 4-5 years ago.

 

Most recent Friday line. Got there at 1pm, got in at 7pm. Saturday, got there at 8am, got in at 2:30 pm. Talked to people who arrived at 7 and they got in about 1pm. Seems on a weekend you are waiting 6+ hours either for them to open, or in the line or both. First week and a bit you drinking from the tanks, then they get into the kegs.

Both days got to sample 3 Youngers and did a full taster tray. It was great, weather was nice so waiting in line (especially with a chair) was actually pleasant at times. Peet's was even taking orders and delivering food and coffee. Another nice thing was you could order off sales and merch right from your server.

Once you get your hand stamped, you can leave one person in line to save your spot. You must be there for your hand stamp though, they'll give you a few minutes to get back to your party or else they get to go to the back of the line.

This was our table when we got our trays:

 

How much is Toronado charging for Younger?

 

Waited about 40 minutes Thurs night, but got in line at 10:30, so pretty late.

Waited 7 frickin' hours Saturday with four others, but the line was fun and honestly felt like the time went by quicker than any of my previous visits (except, obviously, Thurs night). Love the feeling when you finally get in, and they're taking you to your table, knowing you've got three hours in front of you to enjoy the fuck out of everything they have to offer. Way better experience, IMO, than going solo and getting a short wait just to taste the beer.

As has been said a bunch at this point, the beer is not worth the wait, but the experience definitely can be.

 

I showed up around 6pm on day 1 and it only took two hours to get in. I've only had this year's and last year's, but it's quite lovely — still remarkably dry for the style.

 

$9 for a 10oz pour I believe.

 

Kegs will be hitting LA towards the end of this week. Seems like places are trying to keep things a bit more low key than previous years though.

 

The last two years it's been a 6 or 7oz pour, so I'm pretty sure it's not 10 this year.

 

Thanks guys. Yeah I saw a photo, and it is 6oz pour for $9. For some reason I had a thought that it was $10-15, maybe for charity or something, so I had to ask.

 

oh 7oz at Toronado. How much do they charge at RRBC?
