Hopefully this February, I can hook up with Scott, Brian, Mike, Kriss and Brent at the RR brewery for the very, very short period of time that Pliny the Younger is available on tap (triple IPA - IIRC, Scott said it lasts about a day or two on tap and then they're sold out for the year)

So is Dreadnaught. I've had both. Elder didn't live up to the hype. Very good, but overhyped IMO. I'd take a Dreadnaught over Elder any day.
BA and RB ratings I take with a pile of salt. Soo many beers are overrated (3F included) simply because of hype and limited availability, while there are some more easily accessible beers that don't rate well simply because of that, when they are fantastic beers. I've met a number of people big in the communities on there, many of which were snobby douchebags, so it all makes sense. I feel most people on there don't even know much about beer, just that limited stuff is awesome. Now I'm not saying this is true for everyone, but it is prevalent. (just a rant I decided to throw in there, not directed toward anyone)
Of course, my IIPA is the best in the world
. Just finished the boil, cooling down now. Can't wait!
