From the Russian River newsletter:
We poured the last glass of Pliny the Younger at our brewpub today around 4:30. It feels kind of bittersweet. This year's release has gone so well and been really fun! Thank you to everyone who made the trek from wherever and waited in line for however many hours to enjoy Younger from the source. We enjoyed having you and hope you will come back to visit us again soon!
There are still 19 other great beers on tap at our pub if you were planning to visit us anyway. I do not think you will leave disappointed!
Pliny the Younger will return on schedule next year the first Friday of February.
Cheers!
Natalie and Vinnie
Beatification 2012
Happy Friday, everyone! We have all worked really hard this week (year) and you probably have, too. So let's talk about our next batch of Beatification to end the week on a high note! With this next batch, which would have been Batch 5, we have changed the way we are "tracking" it by replacing the Batch # with the actual Bottling Date. This batch, bottled on January 10, 2012 (pictured below), will be released at our Brewpub in Downtown Santa Rosa on Friday March 30th when we open at 11am! Normally we do not release production numbers, particularly with small-batch releases, but Vinnie and I have decided to make an exception this time. We made about 1,000 cases of this batch. Although it is 20 times more beer than Batch 4 (you know, the one that ran out in 15 minutes!), we have decided to make this a Brewpub ONLY release. Beatification has really become one of our in-house specialty beers and we plan to keep it that way, at least for now. There will be a 6 bottle limit per person, and the price will remain the same. We bottled ALL of it (so no draft), but there will be plenty of chilled bottles for your enjoyment at the pub! And we have no idea how long it will last- the crystal ball is out for repairs! Thank you, in advance, for respecting our wishes and not reselling this beer to anyone for any reason. But feel free to share as much as you are willing!
Notice the "Bottled On" date instead of Batch #. Now that I have this open bottle of Beatification, it's Friday, and it's been a very long week, I am signing off!
Cheers!
Natalie
