Quest for the World's Best Beer

at Russian River Brewing Company

Every February, the highly anticipated Pliny the Younger brew has its grand unveiling at the Russian River Brewing Company. And just like its Roman statesman namesake, this brew is pure nobility. Pliny the Younger is available on-site at the Russian River Brewing Company in February.


Nestled in the heart of Santa Rosa, the Russian River Brewing Company has been fermenting a storm for the last thirteen years. And with over thirty international brewing medals, it’s earned a reputation to follow. But it’s the Pliny the Younger brew that garners top marks (even rated the #1 beer in the world, by some), and leaves the beer-oisseurs waxing poetic.

With a once-a-year release in early February, Pliny the Younger is precisely the kind of brew rarity that cults form around. And not to be outdone by its Pliny the Elder cousin beer, this brew is a triple IPA, hopped three times more than the standard. Call ahead to ensure it is still in stock!

The Sōsh Insider

Pro Tip

"Because of an overwhelming turnout for the Younger’s debut in past years, visitors must now enjoy the brew on site only. Those in the know grab a table early, order the delectable pizzas, and always save room for dessert (aka the second round of beers)." — The Sōsh Concierge

What to Order

"Totally worth the wait--Pliny the Younger is amazing! The chicken wings are awesome and spicy. They go great with the beer." — Rishi Mandal
