Anyone ever try Pliny the Elder??
I love IPA's and can't get this in Michigan but it's allegedly the highest rated IPA around. Just wondering what you're thoughts are compared to some other top IPA's, what those would be I have no idea but I guess what makes this one so great? I really want to try it but they don't ship but only to like 5 states. Here in Michigan where there are brewerys a plenty I've tried some pretty damn good IPA's, Founders would be a favorite to compare it to maybe.

I had the opportunity to try The Elder last year while in Oregon......I thought it was very good, but I also tried the Blind Pig and actually preferred that. Sorry, I can't really tell you why. I drank them "back-to-back" and preferred the "Pig". I'm an IPA fan and liked them both, but the "pig" was my favorite.

Every year I have Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. Then I drink Blind Pig and every year it reminds me how much I prefer Blind Pig. Much more balanced then PtE.
