Item Description

Pliny the Elder Beer - 2 cases

Item Special Note

This uber-popular 8% ABV Double IPA has become the stuff of legends. Regarded by some as hands-down the best beer made in America, it is a familiar name on any "best of" ranking list. As word of the greatness of Pliny spread to IPA drinkers the demand for Pliny became insatiable over the past few years. Many retailers imposed single bottle limits to try and spread the wealth, while others jacked up the price. Regardless of what they did to try and control the flow, it was the norm for retailers to sell out of their allocated shipments the very same day they were received and put on the shelves. So, what is all the hype about? Pliny is indeed an outstanding IPA. Anyone who tells you differently is full of 'it'. Pliny features a robust hop profile full of pine and fruit flavors, all the while putting a solid malt backbone to work to keep the bitterness in check. It is insanely drinkable and balanced for such a hop bomb of a beer, and that to me is what sets it apart from other imperial IPAs. When fresh it is one of the best IPA's made.
