Pliny the Younger, a highly anticipated limited release by Russian River Brewing, continues to captivate beer enthusiasts despite changing trends. Each winter, this hoppy beer attracts extensive attention, with local media frequently covering long lines at brewpubs. This year, the anticipated release aligns with SF Beer Week pushed to late February, but select bars like Toronado and The Page have already begun tapping kegs. This popularity reflects both the beer's rich flavor and the brewing community's engagement, highlighting the significance of events celebrating such iconic brews.
600 kegs have now gone out to bars and restaurants in the Bay Area and beyond, with some steady customers of Russian River Brewing over the years getting larger quantities like two kegs or more.
The annual winter release of Pliny the Younger continues to get news coverage, with local TV stations often doing segments about the lines that form at Russian River Brewing's Sonoma County brewpubs.
It's not your average Bay Area beer, if only because of the attention it gets.
Toronado's Beer Week is also a celebration for its owner and founder, Dave Keene, who is selling the bar and retiring.
