Its a Pliny kind of day.

It is amazing that something as mundane as sitting at the computer typing a bunch of words that most people have no desire to ever read could be so wonderful with the simple addition of a great beer.

Earlier today I had the pleasure of visiting with Ed from Ledgers liquors which reminded me that I had to, not wanted to but HAD to buy some bottles of Pliny, for those of you unfamiliar with Pliny you can stop reading now because you obviously have been stuck in a hole for the last few years or you drink Bud, but I digress. Anyway I get home and put Pliny in the Fridge for a little pre-coital (yes it is good enough to warrant sex references) r&r and get set down to post the first entry in my new blog and come up with a big blank as to what I will write about. About a half hour later I nonchalantly go get Mr. Elder from the fridge and pour him in a nice chalice all the while enjoying the wonderful floral hop notes wafting from my glass and then it hits me, this is what I am writing about.

Well how can one put into words what an amazing experience Pliny is, from that ever more intriguing nose to the burst of fresh hops on the palate it is a transcendent experience that has to be experienced, no mere mortal or lowly beer scribe could ever hope to do justice. So I will leave it at that and hope you get to enjoy Pliny at some point in the future and I have to think the first Pliny the Elder for discovering the wonderful little lupulin flower and Vinnie for translating it into this amazing brew.
