I've got a growler, but they said they made it in such limited quantities that they only serve it on tap and don't fill growlers.
I am jealous Pliny on the bucket list for me both younger and elder need to send me some seriously.
It's on tap right now until they run out. There will be kegs distributed, but a lot of them will be used for charity events or special resale events using tickets. I tried it last year. Waited in line 3 hours in Santa Rosa and basically only ordered one each for my wife and myself. It's done with a special wristband with 3 removable tabs to indicate reaching the individual limit.
Still - Russian River Brewing has about doubled its output with a new brewery and they've expanded their distribution. They say that they made about twice as much Pliny the Younger as they did last year. Also - they're now distributing Blind Pig in bottles when previously it was only available at their brewpub.
I did get Destroyer of Galaxies though. It's remarkably drinkable for a hop bomb with almost as much alcohol content as wine.
