Washington Beer Blog has taken a controversial, measured position on the subject of Pliny the Younger, refusing to cave into the hipster/beer nerd hysteria the brew foments and calling it "really, really good beer." We love the approach taken by Wallingford's Bottleworks with their Pliny stock: "They put Younger on tap on February 21st without announcing it. Then, they asked patrons to please not spread the word that it was available –they wanted to make it 'special' for the regular visitors that came in." Rewarding your regulars at the expense of trend-chasing hipsters? A novel idea indeed. [WBB]
