Every year, the Russian River Brewing Companyreleases the phenomenally popular Pliny the Younger—their limited release hoppy triple IPA—for just two weeks starting the first Friday in February (that's tomorrow, February 6). And fans from all over the country are already linimg up for hours to get a taste of the unbottled brew.
If standing in the rain in Santa Rosa for beer doesn't appeal to you (last year, the wait got as long as 12 hours at the brewery!), here's where you can taste the "Best Beer in the World" in the Bay Area.
Just remember, it will all be gone by February 20. So drink up!
