Pliny the Younger

Seeing as your interpretation of the events relies on poor reading skills (obviously Higgins didn't have PtY), I think the rest of us are pretty well clued in and there's only one person who's missing the point.

 

We just need to keep it beer-focused and hopefully it won't get nuked.

 

That's what you get for talking to a female. Everybody knows women belong in the kitchen instead of behind a bar.

 

Man. It's a good thing you've got that sig. Otherwise I'd have to look all the way to the left to find out who to ignore.

 

The best? Naw. But close.

Okay. If you are still mad at Higgins' don't show up, but for us forgiving, thirstier types, Higgins just posted Wednesday the 6th at 8pm. They claim RR claims it is their best batch yet. For the uninitiated on this, how early should one show up for this? Or for Apex tomorrow. Two hours early enough? And does Higgins do tickets or just sell first come first serve? Thanks

 

I guess you are being facetious and as much as I don't buy into the "omg hopslam dies off after day 1" bullshit, I will say that I'm not as motivated to drink a month old 6oz glass of PtY for $8 here in Portland as I would be if it were fresher. APEX latest tweet shows its the 2/5 PtY batch being tapped tomorrow.

 

Oh yeah, I'm just messing around. But for me, I've never had PtY, so I'm gonna give it a try either way. Maybe next year I can make the pilgrimage for the fresh stuff. I guess if I already had PtY, I would hit up the spots with boneyards iiipa, because that's a damn good beer

 

Hell yeah. We are spoiled because it isnusually fresher. You can still bet Ill be keeping an eye on the tappings downtown next week since they will be pretty convenient after work. Hope you enjoy it, one hell of a beer.

 

Thanks. I'm sure I'll love it.

 

I thought Russian River already stated that they made 2 batches. The first was released a month ago in Cali. The 2nd batch was way more recent for the distro cities?

 

FYI it has been noted that the supply coming up to Oregan is a different batch than the one that went on tap a month ago at the brewpub. I think this batch is not as old as you think.

Edit: foiled by LoPo87.

 

well, the pic from Apex makes me think otherwise:

Let me just say that in several years from now if I am no longer living on the west coast, I will be punching myself in the balls for being disappointed that the Pliny the Younger I am drinking is more than 3 weeks old. Nonetheless, I can't help but wish it was a newer batch.

 

For what it's worth in the opinion of this unwashed is it was their best batch yet.

 

So whos at Apex? Is there a huge line? I'm watching that churchills thread. Crazy stuff.

 

Line is wrapping around the fence towards Los Gorditos right now

 

Good sized line at Apex - wrapping around the corner and down towards the ramp outside Los Gorditos. Around 70-80, I would guess
