12 Days of Vice: Pliny the Elder

For those of you lucky enough to secure a bottle of this fine brew (mostly our friends on the west coast), Pliny the Elder is the perfect winter beer. Granted, you can have it year round, but this Russian River brew is perfectly balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol and notes of pine and citrus. It’s no wonder that it is consistently rated one of the best beers in the world by everyone from your uncle to your grandmother. This is one drink you probably won’t want to share with the family if you get your hands on one, as they product these bottles in fairly limited supply.
