I’ve had hundreds of craft beers but never the chance to taste the Pliny.
Saw an empty bottle of one once.

For a minute there I thought someone had discovered that Pliny was a successful white man.

Pliny died in the Vesuvius eruption of 79 AD.
He’s a beer now?

I seriously don’t understand the appeal of IPAs.

I had this while on a trip to San Francisco back in 2014. Make no mistake. It’s a great beer and if you can get your hands on some, do it. You won’t be disappointed. My all time favorite though is Westvleteran 12. This is like the nectar of the Gods. Not readily available here in the States, but I drank a ton of it in Europe while on one of my trips. It’s brewed by monks and I plan on making it to their monastery on a beer related religious pilgrimage one day, God willing.

Yo mean the Japanese beer?

I guess it is now. I hope they don’t change it.

Westy 12 (gold top) is good—damn good-, but an affordable substitute is St. Bernardus Abt 12. Luscious brew.

#1 Best Light Beer in AmericaCan someone explain what that even means in the cosmic order of things. I can't get my head around it somehow.
To: AndyJackson
Perhaps means it’s good enough to wash hands and/or cool an engine?

The better obtainable alternative is rocheforte 10. St B is good, but the Roche rocks.
