Russian River Brewing is gearing up for the highly anticipated limited release of Pliny the Younger, a beloved Triple India Pale Ale sought after by craft beer enthusiasts. Starting Friday, March 22, the high-octane brew will be available for a short time exclusively at Russian River’s Santa Rosa and Windsor pub locations.
Pliny the Younger, distinct from the year-round Pliny the Elder, boasts a robust 10.25% alcohol content and is renowned for its bold hop flavors, bitterness, and aromatics. Brewed since 2005 as a seasonal offering, the beer pushes the boundaries of malt, hops, and alcohol, resulting in a dry yet flavorful profile.
Each year, the brewery selects top-quality hops for Pliny the Younger, ensuring a unique flavor profile while maintaining the beer’s signature characteristics. This year’s brew features a blend of Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, Elixir, Warrior, and Nectaron hops, resulting in a medium-bodied beer with vibrant notes of orange, stone fruit, and citrus.
Beer enthusiasts eager to sample this year’s batch of Pliny the Younger will have a limited window of opportunity, as the beer will only be available from March 22 to April 4 at Russian River Brewing’s Santa Rosa and Windsor pub locations. Don’t miss your chance to experience this highly sought-after brew!
