So you Absolutely, Positively MUST Try Russian River's Pliny the Younger On Draft Or You'll Just Die?

Fine.

Head to Philadelphia.  And bring back a growler to share with us.

Try it? Had it. Gotta love living in Philly!

Had one out here in San Diego when it first made its way south from the brewery. It was very good, as expected. It was very good the way many other beers are very good. I'm glad I didn't wait in line or kill myself to get it. Then I'd feel like a fool. If there's a glass near me in the future, I'd be happy to drink it. Like I said, it's good. But waiting in line for a beer is for the birds.

Even the brewpub no longer sells growlers of younger, and of course no place in Philly will either (as I'm sure you know).

Have read about some of the lines for some of the various younger events in Philly, and frankly I'm with Andrew on this. It's a good beer, but in my humble opinion, it's not so wonderful that I want to wait hours in line for a single 4 ounce pour (which apparently is what one encountered at Capone's this past Saturday).

Update from previous post.

Was told the pour size at Capone's was actually 5.5 ounces (at $7 a pop). My mistake...

Still not sorry to have missed the event.
