Russian River Pliny The Younger DIPA By Russian River Brewing Company | American Craft Beer Review

[@kennyr2744]

Wow! That got to you quickly, and even more quickly on your channel! You're very welcome, and I'm happy you got to enjoy Pliny the Younger in February. Cheers from Northern California! PS~ I see the Knee Deep stickers sent in 2018 :)

[@realaleguide]

Thanks dude, did you see the message in the bottle at the end of the video :-)

[@kennyr2744]

@@realaleguide Yes I did. I loved it :D

[@AlexRodriguez__]

We need to get you some Racer5!

[@tonyball4412]

I had this beer for the first time this year and BAM!!! I love this stuff!! I live in the Bay Area and I will be getting this beer EVERY YEAR from now on! Cheers!

[@tyrannosaurus696]

Planned a trip to Sonoma County from the UK just to go there and taste the Plinys. Had flights and hotel booked but had to cancel due to ill health. It's still on the bucket list though. WANT!

[@andrewpaton5485]

Nice to see your collection of stickers, cans and labels. I've sticker bombed my fridge/freezer doors with beer labels I have enjoyed.

[@prismed6615]

Great video, I had it 4 years ago at Stone in Escondido. You have to get yourself over there, you’ll love it! Beer culture in US is just on another level.

[@METALITHrevetments]

When you decide to come to the USA you will be very welcome. When in California I recommend that you visit Pariah Brewing Co. in San Diego...outstanding beers and ale's. If by chance you make it to the greater Chicago area I recommend a visit to Two Brother's Brewing Co. in Warrenville, IL and "Hop Butcher for the World" Brewing Co. in Darien, IL. If you do make it to Chicago let me know...would love to meet you and buy you some beers! Kind regards, Tom

[@paulguidi6763]

Simon if you ever get to America, goto Portland, Oregon. I loved it there so many craft beers. All the hood are all grown locally, I was in heaven.

[@rcwbud52]

We had the Elder but not the Younger. Tremendous beer. We have never see either beer here in Kansas City. My son bought the Elder in Pueblo, Colorado. It was sold out in 12 minutes.

[@deanzaZZR]

The limit is 2 bottles per person per visit. You are a lucky, lucky man.

[@gregoryschell313]

pliny the younger! a cult craft beer gem if there ever was one... so excited you got one in your belly, simon. cheers from california!

[@Cracker130]

Love your passion Simon! I would love to try this beer.

[@mitch89014]

You are so fortunate, most people in states will not have this

[@kevindeloscities]

Loved this review mate. The authenticity is truly welcome, love the excitement for a good beer. As an American, I may be one of the few left who will take a west coast style IPA over an NEIPA. The haze craze doesn't stack up to me. My opinion and I'm allowed it lol.

[@Boognoss]

Amen!! Give me a juicy, floral, bitter beer I can see through anytime.

[@mcmickey3344]

amazing enthusiasm. quite amusing delayed reaction, guess it takes some time to digest and process all the flavors going on

[@903mdh]

Hey Simon. If you get the chance to go to California the Pliny the Younger release normally coincides with San Francisco Beer Week. Went last February and it was ace. Got to try PTY on draft and chatted with Vinnie Cilurzo during a Russian River tap take over at Tornado - amazing time. Cheers, Mark (a fellow South Walian)

[@kennyr2744]

Tornado is an awesome taproom. I also love City Beer Store.

[@mattday2053]

Would love to get my hands of this stuff! Superb review mate.

[@jacobrosiles]

ever get to try it?

[@purebaldness]

This video is full to the brim with reasons why I love your channel. Cheers Simon! Surely your beer bucket list is pretty small now?

[@realaleguide]

The Bucket List would be complete if I ever made it to the US mate.

[@dansunder7minutebeerreview271]

@@realaleguide Got to stop by Philadelphia sometime! Lots of good beer here!

[@deanzaZZR]

Welcome to California. It's a big state. You could do a lot worse than starting in San Diego and drive all the way up to Fort Bragg on Highway 1. There plenty of awesome scenery, burgers, waffles and of course fine craft beer.

[@TonyErgonie]

Blazing some fine ass kush too

[@mitch89014]

I am on the west coast, and my favorites brewery saved me some, Stone, had this many times on tap, yes first year in bottles and distributed in the San Diego area

[@dansunder7minutebeerreview271]

I've had it a few times on tap in Philadelphia, good stuff. Glad you finally got to try this world class IPA. Now you need some Consecration or Supplication.

[@kennyr2744]

He has reviewed Supplication on the channel :)

[@munsterr777-iz2ow]

Wow, never heard of this, Pliny the Younger is usually a TRIPA, on tap only at the brewery, average wait 8 hours, 2 tickets for two beers and only 20 minutes to sit at the bar, never heard of bottled or as DIPA at that, gotta check this out, cheers 🍻

[@AG_2690]

It is a triple he trippin lol

[@leestammers3832]

Yes! Boom!

[@conduct623]

I thought I subscribed to you years ago, had to subscribe again...Cheers.

[@TappingOutShow]

So much better then the original beer !!

[@nachogeekts]

Im new to drinking ales, so far ive had marstons pedigree, king goblin and old peculier, but for some reason i cant seem to taste any of the flavours, will this change over time?

[@Daemiex]

they are only cheap ales so your not going to get much from them to be honest, spend a bit more and research some decent brewerys that you have access to purchase thier ales, i dont know if you can get them where you are but one of my current favourite brewerys atm is northern monk, you will defo get flavours from thier ales

[@ansonrd2659]

Well done for drinking early in the morning, enjoy your beer ,👍

[@cowboypicker1968]

Best beer ever right there

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Damn I had a chance to try this on tap and tried the elder instead next time I’ll try the younger

[@thebluep0tat0]

You have gold right there. Only available in a few areas in the US, and highly sought after - like the Elder

[@lukaswint7067]

How the hell you get hold of them?

[@DC-Aust]

Nice start to the day mate. Maybe a nice cup of tea and a lie down later!

[@tomsnith6423]

Cheers- Cali at its best.👍

[@barrypatton6424]

How much does it cost per bottle that people need to queue for it?

[@robfowler6112]

The bottles were only like $9.50 each.

[@kennyr2744]

Rob Fowler is correct. Russian River is great about keeping prices reasonable, even though demand is high. The resale market... well that's another story (I did not sell any of my bottles). Weekend wait times were insane, but I went during the weekday and there was relatively little wait time. Plus, RR serves great food and the staff are friendly despite the crowds.Oh yeah, and RR allocated fixed numbers of bottles to sell each day so that they were guaranteed to have it in stock at the start of each day during release week. If you made it a couple of hours before close, you were almost certain to get two bottles before the day's allotment sold out. It was a very well-prepared and organized event.

[@barrypatton6424]

Wow I was expecting you to say it was a hell of a lot more expensive than that. Fair play for not cashing in too. Would love to try it.

[@joeengland3655]

great vid.

My local had pints left over.

[@pedersteenberg2010]

NICE

[@dustinbasurto7371]

Great review/reaction! Deschutes, Ninkasi and the Rogue are here in Oregon, U.S. when you make it here.

Simon, do not move here. Whatever you heard about living here, that's all gone now.

It's not an IPA without some hints of fleshy blood orange;) Great review and kudos to the person that sent it to you.

[@NOFX_86]

I am glad that the Russian brewery is developing every day

[@g0gs]

Did you not even chill it for a few hours before cracking it open?

[@jackhurley1428]

g0gs I know I don’t know how he can get the best out of these without making them more quaffable by chilling them.

[@sevenman9672]

@@jackhurley1428 It appears he found it 'quaffable' enough as it was; coming in from being outside in February it would hardly have been warm...this is Britain, we don't feel the need to drink our beer ice-cold!

[@garydyke1]

I know some people who would kill for that beer

How about the IBU?

90 IBU

[@shostakovich91]

Pliny is pronounced PLIH-NEE not PLY-NEE. Apologies for being a pedant.

[@cookieman136]

Where are you getting that information? The beer has always been pronounced PLY with a hard “I” sound. The historical figure the beer is named after “Plinius”would be pronounced with a soft “I” Which doesn’t reconcile, but too late to change at this point.

[@pina6181]

Pubs in so cal have been having multiple kegs of pliney the younger !. Lines are insane . I went to one near me and it was around the block ! Not worth it. ! Looks like Russian River will be realising a lot more in the future!.

[@Cayres9]

Russian River now changed the name to Ukrainian River LOL
