BACK IN STOCK


Yes folks back in stock at Vendome wine and spirits in Toluca Lake. What a Joy it is on these hot Spring nights to be able to sit with a fine beer such as this. From the Russian River Brewing site, Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, "Lupus salictarius", meaning wolf among scrubs." Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, Humulus lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle's legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
8.0%ABV Here is were I stand... sorry Sierra Nevada but PLINY the ELDER IS BEST DOUBLE IPA OUT!
