Pliny the Elder | Russian River Brewing Company | Beer Review (ft. FLX Beer Reviews) |

For today's review, I'm once again joined by the guys over at FLX Beer Reviews, Dan and Mike, to take a look at a beer from the Russian River Brewing Company, and it's their Pliny the Elder. This is the iconic West Coast-style Double IPA that is brewed with Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ and Simcoe hops. Consider that neither Dan or Mike have had this one before -- not to mentioned I've never reviewed it -- I thought it would be fun to share it with them so they can experience one of the most talked about Double IPAs in craft beer history. Let's see what we all thought about it! We also want to give a huge thanks to my buddy, and viewer of the channel, Billy, for this beer! We can't thank you enough, good sir!

It is well-balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol, slightly bitter with a fresh hop aroma of floral, citrus, and pine. Best enjoyed FRESH! That is why we make it in such a limited supply. The actual bottling date is printed on each bottle! Where did we come up with this name? Back in the year 2000, our friend, Vic Kralj, who owns the Bistro in Hayward, California, decided to have his first-ever Double IPA festival. Vic invited 10 breweries, 6 of whom (including us) had to brew something special for him since we had nothing that would fall under this style category. Vinnie had made a Double IPA at Blind Pig Brewing Co. in 1994 but was not brewing one at Russian River Brewing Co. at the time. He had an idea for the recipe, but not a name. After much research in beer books, brainstorming, and deliberation, we came up with "Pliny the Elder". Pliny, the man, lived in the first century- 23 to 79 A.D. According to our brewing references, he and his contemporaries either created the botanical name or at least wrote about Lupus Salictarius, or hops, currently known as Humulus Lupulus. That was a very early reference to an important part of any Double IPA! Pliny, the beer has now become one of our flagship brews! Pliny the Elder was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who wrote about his uncle succumbing to ash and smoke during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. while rescuing people. Cheers to the scholar, historian, officer, writer, and Roman Naturalist- Pliny the Elder!
