Russian River Pliny The Elder

Pliny the Elder (the Roman) was a naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer and writer. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle's legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption. Pliny the Elder (the beer) is brewed with 40% more malt and over twice the amount of hops as compared to Russian River's already hoppy IPA, and is one of the more sought after beers in the American craft canon.
