What are you drinking tonight.

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).
 
You should have given your friend directions to the store so she could pick up another bottle to share with you

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.
