- david_shaw 11y agoI had to re-read the title a few times for it to make sense. It's funny that the beer is the first thing many of us think of when hearing 'Pliny the Elder' these days.
- meatysnapper 11y agoI would hate to be immortalized by what I at least consider to be a pretty mediocre beer. I do not get they hype at all, and I've had it bottle and tap numerous times.
- buckbova 11y agoIt was the first west coast IPAs to have in my opinion a perfectly balanced profile. Now there's hundreds of other choices and copycats out there. I personally like more aggressively hopped and flavored double/triple IPAs but Pliny was brilliant.

- mcdougle 11y agoI didn't even see the 77 CE part at first. I clicked on the title, read a bit into it, and was very confused for a minute.
