It’s a beer made for quenching the thirst you develop when watching exhausting debates, creating political memes or sitting down to fill out your mail-in ballot.
The Russian River Brewing Co. has again thrown their favorite son’s name into the ring. “Pliny for President” — a double dry-hopped version of their ultra-popular Pliny the Elder — will be available from now through the end of election season.
He’s a perennial candidate, having run in every presidential election since 2008. And always with the same platform: “Free the hops.” (This year’s limited release contains new hop varieties, according to the brewers.)
Russian River is reaching out to a new bloc of drinkers this year: Pliny for Prez comes in cans for the first time.
What do the polls say about the 2020 candidate?
“Strong hop forward, beautifully balanced bitter, piney palette dance with a crisp dry finish. Medium amber yellow glow entices the eye. Smooth & delicious, powerful, yet humble & wise. Perfect candidate for the highest public position in the free world!” wrote Eddie P. on Untappd.com.
“Tasty for a double but too strong for me,” Lee B. said.
“Love the pliny front, tasty balanced middle and big finish. Yum.” was the verdict of Michael B.
And Jeff C. said: “I cast my ballot,” declaring it the “best third-party option ever.”
Pliny for President can be purchased from the website (for shipping within California) and at the brewery’s Santa Rosa and Windsor brewpubs — or check your local retailer/brewpub.
