A Russian River Runs Through It

The Russian River continues to flow through Philly. This week there have been several Pliny and Blind Pig sightings.

Sidecar Bar & Grill: A very sweet voice on the phone let me know that as of 9/26 @ 4:27PM Pliny was still on but getting very low.

Memphis Taproom: They tapped Pliny on Wednesday and as of 9/26 @ 4:32PM it was still flowing along with Blind Pig.

TJ's Restaurant & Drinkery: Blind Pig will arrive on Saturday in time for the Oktoberfest celebration. Bryan at The Brew Lounge tossed that bit of info out earlier in the week.

Pliny and Blind Pig in Bottles

YES!!! It is official Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig are both in bottles and being shipped to Southern California distributors. This info was posted on the Russian River Brewing Company website. Portland Oregon will reserve a small shipment of Blind Pig by the end of July and in August Seattle and Denver should see cases headed their way. No real news on any getting to the east coast and I wouldn't hold your breath. It's great knowing that two more fantastic beers from Russian River are being bottled and we can hope that the powers that be will some how find a way to get them into the Philadelphia market.
