Philly McButterpants Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I'd be interested to hear a review. Too $$$ for my blood. Edited December 16, 2012 by Fatty McButterpants

The Poojer Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Russian River Pliny the Younger is often considered the best beer in america...but of course it is very subjective based on personal preference what is considered to be the best beer in america?
BillsFanNC Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Russian River Pliny the Younger is often considered the best beer in america...but of course it is very subjective based on personal preference Actually it's Pliny The Elder that has won the crown for the fourth straight year. I enjoyed a bottle of Pliny yesterday as a matter of fact, just an awesome beer. http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/community/news/show?title=2012-best-beers-in-america
The Poojer Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) the Younger is by far the better beer....i think it gets ignored because its so hard to come by whereas the Elder is the one they make more of for distribution... funny Beer advocate even puts it higher than the one in the original post....i like how the elder comes in slightly behind it...must be tough to have that problem as a brewer http://beeradvocate.com/lists/popular Actually it's Pliny The Elder that has won the crown for the fourth straight year.

I don't know if Younger is better by far, but it's another damn good beer. It's just like you said that it's such a rare occasion that they actually release it and on such a limited distribution scale that I think that's why it's ignored in the AHA rankings. Edit: I take that back, Younger is actually tied for 48th in the AHA rankings. Edited December 17, 2012 by BillsFanNC
PaattMaann Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 yea ive been wanting the Pliny for quite some time, just never on tap anywhere locally......my favorite brews are Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA and Sierra Nevada Celebration

plenzmd1 Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 The best beer in the world that doesn't cost $85. PTR As the Pooj said, all subjective. Having said that, Yuengling in a can gets " in a pinch I could maybe drink one" from me In a bottle, I would rather just about anything liquid including Drano.

plenzmd1 Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Gotta say I love the craft beers, but any one else get the feeling this is going the way of the cigar craze?
BillsFanNC Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Gotta say I love the craft beers, but any one else get the feeling this is going the way of the cigar craze? I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. There is no question that there is a craft beer bubble that about to burst. There are four new breweries planned to open here in the Triangle area next year, adding to the explosion that's already occurred since they raised the legal abv limit in NC to 15% a few years back.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Gotta say I love the craft beers, but any one else get the feeling this is going the way of the cigar craze? There are a lot of great craft beers. In fact there is one, White Birch, that opened right at the end of my street. Superb, but costs anywhere from $13 to $24 for a 22oz bottle. There comes a point when the slight improvement in taste isn't worth the extra cost. Beer Advocate PTR Edited December 19, 2012 by PromoTheRobot
