    When was the latest bottling? I haven't had one yet this year and need to meet my quota. Info and perhaps someone who can help me with a bottle would be much appreciated! :grinning:

    I think that 4/30 was the last bottling, they should be doing another one soon. And sacramento is a little sporadic with the supply, but if I can find it I can hook you up with your fix.

    5/14 is the latest batch. 5/8 for Blind Pig.

    They have the 5/14 at CBS yet? I'd love to try it that comically fresh.

    I bought mine at Whole Foods. I'm sure CBS has the same batch as both accounts get direct distribution from Russian River.

    Sweet, well if any of you guys want to help a brother in TX out, that would be swell! I can send some delicious offerings in return.

    Good lord, that's preposterously fresh. Easily the best I've ever had it.

    I drink a bottle from every batch of Pliny. This is the best batch I've had in the last few months.

    Just picked up a 5/16 bottle at Bottle Barn. Fantastic. I don't get excited about bottling date with IPAs too often, but a 2 day old bottle of Pliny is an awesome find.

    I am 2 miles from 5/16 PtE and don't care. I haven't had any for months. I was in full Lupulin Threshold Shift! Pretty much only drinking non-CA IPAs and BA Stouts now!

    I. Will. Be. Back.

    I had the 5/16 today and was pretty disappointed it was more than 1 day old, I mean what has the world come to?

    I can't believe you even tried it - why didn't you just throw it in the recycling bin?

    CBS had the 5/14 today and there seemed like enough to last until tomorrow.

    That's why you have to drink it at the brewery on tap, otherwise it just tastes old.
