Russian River Pliny the Younger Release Resumes IN PERSON 2022

From Russian River:

Barring any unforeseen business restrictions due to COVID-19, or any other presently unknown limiting factors, this year’s Pliny the Younger release will resume IN PERSON at both our Santa Rosa and Windsor brewpubs in 2022! The entire RRBC team missed seeing our many repeat and first-time visitors from around the world this past year after cancelling the in-person release due to COVID. We are so excited to go back to our pre-COVID program, releasing Pliny the Younger on the first FRIDAY in February, rain or shine!

Official pub release dates are February 4^th-17^th, 2022. Younger will also be available in 510ml bottles for sale at our brewpubs ONLY during the 2-week release. We will allocate a certain number of cases and kegs to each pub each day to make it last all 14 days. We have, on rare occasion, run out later in the late afternoon or evening. Each year we try to predict how much draft and bottled beer we may need based on data from prior years. But this year is particularly challenging given so many different factors surrounding COVID. We have always said there are 2 things we can’t control: the weather and how many people will show up.  And this year we can throw in a third variable- COVID-19!  There will also be no online sales this year. Our 2021 online only release was a purely pandemic-driven decision and one-time only!

Please visit our official Pliny the Younger 2022 web page HERE for everything you need to know about what to expect when visiting, bottles, draft distribution, and, of course, the beer itself!

Thank you!

Natalie, Vinnie and the entire RRBC Crew
