Sorry but I'm stoked. Just received my Pliney via Fedex ( eBay). Its in the fridge waiting for tomorrow night. Can't wait. Hoppiest beer I've had to date here in Northwestern OH is Bell's HopSlam which is an awesome beer ( http://www.bellsbeer.com/brands/19-Hopslam%20Ale ).

I had my first Pliney last weekend up at Dark Lord Day. I was a bit apprehensive about this beer just being over-hopped, but it was a damn fine beer with a surprisingly dry finish.
I'd buy more.

So you had a Pliny and a ticket to DLD? Nice...

So a couple of weeks ago I read a thread about asking your local liquor store "So what ya got in the back".
Since then I have asked that very question to every liquor store clerk I have visited.
Fuck Yeah!!! Turns out my local guy has three cases of Pliny in the back. Not only that but alot of these guys keep secret stashes that they only sell to people who ask. Try it out and you will see.

Jesus! That is truly a hidden stash if you ask me! Were you able to get any off him?

Got a couple Plinys,a Goudenbaun, and a Palate wrecker.

Some of my local liquor stores would probably dig up some crack for me if I asked for "the special stash in the back".

I envy you all.

Though, I plan on getting my hands on it soon.
