2026 Pliny The Younger Locations Have Not Been Announced Yet, Stay Tuned
When places announce tapping, I will post the dates/times below. The list below will not contain every place but it will contain many places across the Bay Area.
Allotments vary from year to year. As with this hectic time, most places don’t release schedules more than 1 week out, others within a few days, a few within hours and some will do a surprise tapping without posting it online anywhere.
On top of that, some places have been known to kick kegs after 30 minutes of tapping, others have been unable to serve people if they arrive exactly at tapping time (long lines), and others require advance tickets.
One place may server pints (will note it below), most will serve small 6-10 ounce pours and a few may only serve it alongside flights (mixed with other beers unfortunately).
I will update this list regularly, so check back often (see timestamp above). I will post scheduled tapping as well.

We will continue to distribute kegs of Pliny the Younger in February to our valued wholesale partners and draft accounts throughout California, along with select accounts in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Philadelphia, Maine, Reno and Las Vegas.

Fastest keg kicked that I have seen is 32 minutes; I have seen kegs still available at 1-2 locations into the next day. I would estimate 80% kicked in 2-5 hours.

March 20th-April 2nd, 2026: Russian River pubs (Santa Rosa & Windsor)

Russian River to distribute kegs to accounts starting: (check back soon)
Draft accounts only to receive kegs (no bottles sold outside of RR pubs)
Most will tap them immediately, and some will tap them later in the month (festivals, beer week), but I imagine most are gone in the middle of February here in the Bay Area.
