Before jumping into a sea of critism on our past and current administration and their abundance of allowances which benefit the safety, comfort, and continuation of an elderly population while reducing the upcoming generation's numbers and future, by continuing to hold jobs (which then forces us to continue school and therefore become unnecessarily over qualified, debt-ridden, number crunching, nickle and dime counting, still unemployed with a DR. in everything, individuals forced to depend on welfare and food stamps, as if we never had the choice to begin with), and vacationing in Florida and other walking nursing home destinations across the southern states in the U.S. of A...... I want to talk about inflation!
Or rather about this type of take and take legacy that of society is consumed by! What happened to "the good old days", or the sense of community, or even just the give to take part?
Wait no... I just want to say that in order to buy Pliny the Elder from the Russian River Brewing Co. on the east coast of the United States, one must first travel to the great state of Pennsylvania, then find a retailer that actually supplies the stuff (which there are a good amount, but still Pennsylvania is huge!)...ahm....then!....one must grab an entire case of the stuff, thats right one entire case, and then spend upwards of $130.00 U.S. dollars (AY!) to lug the stuff home!
Even if this beer wasn't damn good, I would lie and say that it was because of what I had to do to get it.
On another note, the beer itself was named after the Roman Naturalist Pliny the Elder, born in 23 A.D., who first gave HOPS its Latin name, "Lupus Salictarius", identifying it scientifically. He died in 79 A.D. while saving people from the fires of Mount Vesuvius. A Hop head Humanitarian after my own heart. To him, the Russian River Brewing Company produces a Hoppy and Piny IPA, 8% alcohol by volume and 92 IBU's, expensive as hell leaving you broke but taken care of, full of that humanitarian charm!
Pliny the Younger, his son documented his fathers works and also his experience in the Vesuvius eruptions. And for him, thank you very much, is the Company's PLINY THE YOUNGER for the younger generations who get to benefit from what is left behind by their predecessors. But in this case the Russian River Brewing Company did the younger generations a favor, for this beer is a TRIPLE IPA!, its 11% ABV and off-the-charts on the IBU's. It is like a super hyper version of the Pliny the Elder, full of pine and citrus and flavor...AND WE NEED IT!
