A Rare Craft Beer that's Never Been Bottled: Pliny the Younger

Hosted by

Last month, fifteen thousand beer fans made a pilgrimage to Russian River Brewing Company.'s small pub in Santa Rosa California for the annual release of a triple IPA called Pliny the Younger. It's expensive, strong and extremely rare. It's only served on tap for just two short weeks in February, instigating enormous lines wherever it's offered. When a few lucky bars in Los Angeles got their hands on a keg, KCRW's Evan George set out to discover if a single beer can live up to that much buzz.
