The bar area can get a little bit crowded, but it is easy to get a drink. They don’t serve liquor but the beer selection more than makes up for that. I had a Pliny the Elder last week when I went.

of his Bling Pig IPA, extremely complex and flavorful for its gravity. Lots of people love Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger (the Double IPA and “Triple IPA,” respectively), but I’ll take Bling Pig any day....

subtler more nuanced brews. Look at a place like Russian River. One of their most popular beers is Pliny the Elder, which is a pretty hoppy and robust DIPA. But because of the success of this beer, they can produce incredibly...

is a double IPA. You describe it well and to me it has some alcohol heat on it too. That thickness or syrupy-ness that you describe I found in beers like Pliny the Younger (haven’t had “the Elder) too along with a prickly “alive”...

I’m a fan of Rogue Dead Guy Ale as a session beer— very drinkable with great balance between malts and hops, and readily available. I’d also put in a vote for just about anything from Russian River brewery...

the first double IPA, Pliny the Elder, and they continue to produce incredible Belgian inspired sours. If you moderately love beer you will walk away being an advocate of good beer after going to Russian River.

I went to Naja’s last friday and the place is fantastic. PLiny the Elder on tap? Yes! Alaskan Summer Ale? Yes! super nice folks, mellow clientele, view of the ocean – that’s a great bar. i’m glad all these...
