Yeah, I’mn with you. Pliny is just about impossible to duplicate and when I’m in the mood for a big DIPA and Pliny is available, I go for it.

I dropped by The Hopyard in Pleasanton yesterday evening. I ordered a pint of Pliney. The bartender said apologetically, “the price is $6.50″. I said “do it”. She provided a sample of the other DIPA they had on tap…I’m sure glad I didn’t order a pint of that one. Pliney at $6.50 is better than the so-so DIPA at, say, half the price.

$15? I’d draw the line unless I was stuck in hell and gone for a long time and desperate. Don’t beliee they bottle Pliny in 750s. 12 oz. only.

Had lunch at Pizza Antica in Straberry Village last week, saw Pliny on the Menu and was very excited. That is, until I noticed the price at $15+ for a 750ml bottle. All in all they had a good selection, Unibroue’s Fin Du Monde $12? (don’t remember this price for sure and isn’t posted on their website), Fantome $25, AVB Summer Solstice 12oz $6.50 & Pliny, but all seemed over-priced to me. Oh yeah, they have good Pizza too

Coming from a farm background, I agree Thomas. Higher prices suck, but maybe they’re necesssary.

“So there were are, our economy sucks, doesn’t it.”

Or think of it as hop growers finally being able to pay the bills and that is something as a beer drinker and homebrewer I can whole heartedly support.

I wouldn’t pay $7.50 for a pint of Pliny… but that’s just because 20oz of an 8% DIPA would get me buzzed pretty quick, and I enjoy having at least 2-3 beers when I go out I guess if that’s your goal though… how much are they selling Bud Light for? If you’re counting ABV, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth
