This is one of my favorite beer photos and I use it frequently, it's the header photo on the beer47 social profiles as well as the header photo for the beer47 blog. It is a photo of Russian River Brewing's Pliny the Younger from 2011. After standing in line for three hours for this "whale" of a beer, we sampled the it and it was definite worth the wait.
Every year Russian River brews a limited batch of what was probably the first Triple IPA. (Just like Pliny the Elder was one of if not the first double IPA). Younger is only offered for about 5-10 days per year, at the beginning of February, at the brewery and a few select locations (like Monk's Kettle, Toronado, Falling Rock, and others). If you wait at the brewery, there is always a long wait but everybody there is excited to be there and it is a very jovial atmosphere. It's definitely one of those things to put on your craft beer bucket list!
