While up in Maryland over Thanksgiving, I went to my uncles whos been a homebrewer for like 15 years. Got to sample some of his homebrews which where pretty solid while talking bout our favorite breweries. He then pulled out a couple of his favorite beers from these breweries, one was one bad mutherf*cker, called Pliney the Elder from Russian River Brewery outta Cali. I havent tryed looking for it here in Richmond, it might be tough, but apparently it can be found in Pennslyvania, Maryland and Delaware....if you like a solid double IPA do yourself a favor and pick it up if you can find it.
