Anyone know if Pliny the Younger will be on tap? Supposed to be released early February. . .


Unless they pulled some strings (very possible), the release date is 2/5, just in time for The Bistro's Dipa Fest on the 6th.
ON ON!

Yeah, I was going to mention that too, I'll be there as well. Turning out to be a good month for beer!

In the last interview w/Vinny they mention the beer that the Winter Fest is getting somewhere in there I recall... the conversation got diverted when Vinny was giving props to the BNA for buying the beer instead of only taking donations.

I wish it were PTYounger, but that stuff is like gold and is selling for $4.5/per 10oz glass.. A keg has 1984 ounces, so with 198-10oz servings @ $4.5 a pop that is a keg of gold @ $891... dang! Don't think the BNA is buying that keg to share :D

Can't wait to try this years PTY out... either at RR itself or at the DIPA Fest :jnj

I think Vinnie said Rejection, the Belgian Inspired Black Beer they brew for Valentine's Day.

It is close and it is defiantly worth checking out.

It's on the way back to BART, so it's a likely pitstop.

There's no "official" after party. Several of us are at the Parc 55 in SF and we'll be going back by BART. I imagine we'll make a stop at The Trappist, then invade SF. We'll reconnoiter at the end of the fest and go from there.

Can't wait!
