Scored a bottle of Pliny the Elder today 
Actual conversation at the liquor store today:
Me: Do you have any Pliny?
Owner: Yes....[walk towards the back room]...one.
Me: Do you have two?
Owner: I wouldn't even let my hot girlfriend buy two. You can only buy one.
Me: Can I buy it and come back in and buy another one?
Owner: See you next week
So what's the Pliny Elder all about?
Made in Russian River it's one of highest rated IPAs ever made - it often scores 100/100 on review sites.
It's released in very small batches so that the consumer will have it at its freshest (this lot apparently came in yesterday).
Price: $7 for a 16.09oz bottle.
(But...then you can sell the empty bottle for $5 on eBay )
How good was it?
I'll tell you tomorrow (I made the mistake telling a friend about it and now she's coming over tonight).

Laphraoig 10, damn this stuff's good! After careful consideration I think this is my favourite scotch.

You should have given your friend directions to the store so she could pick up another bottle to share with youScored a bottle of Pliny the Elder today

That is tremendous beer. I visited the Thornbridge brewery last year and had a tour. They have a very impressive state-of-the-art setup that lets them shift wort from the mash tuns to the hopback, FVs etc remotely from a computer running bespoke software in a control room. Amazing stuff.
