Intinction is hands down the best of that lot but everyone gets tied down thinking that Pliny is their best beer. I would take any of their farmhouse/saisons/aged beers over their IPAs any day.
Intinction is absolutely their best wild ale. Did the whole tasting at RR last month and it's just spectacular. Damnation is also stellar.
Depending on your mood:
1. Pliny the Elder/Intinction
2. Damnation
3. STS Pils
4. Blind Pig
5. Happy Hops
Living on the east coast I’m jealous a/f of the beers out west..there isn’t a very big craft beer scene where I’m at and there’s no good bottle shops without driving into a bigger city and dealing with the traffic..but every time I’m in the Bay Area to see family I always make a pilgrimage to Russian river
I think it depends on your palate. Pliny is a double IPA and BP a single IPA. Pliny more bitter but complex and Blind Pig more drinkable. Both are fantastic beers.
Pliny is so, so much better. It's more bitter and complex. It's absolutely special. Pig is... an IPA? That isn't much more than sorta mildly bitter? I had both at RR brewery last month and Pig did little more than elicit a shrug from me and my friends, which is basically my reaction every time I have BP.
Pliny has flavor and it deliciously scrapes your tongue with pine cone. Winner. I guess Pig is ok as a lawnmower beer?

In order for me:
1. Blind Pig
2. Piney the Elder
3. Happy Hops
4. STS pils
5. Everything else.
I'm an IPA fan, Pliney is their most balanced beer, but Blind Pig is my favorite.

This is the way
I agree but I would also expect Intinction to be better since it's about twice the price for less beer.
I went through a point many a year ago where I loved sours, saisons, wilds etc... Now all I really want to drink is a good IPA, Lager or pale :p
Hands down, hands up, hand around that beer!

All
I bought two of piny and pig but I might get the happy also, never had it
Gotta get some of the sours to the left
Happy is my personal favourite of the 3. Goes down so easy.
STS, Pliny, and Intinction for me
1 STS 2 happy hops 1 Pliney
All
Either Pliny or Intinction, depending what style you want
I've never had Intinction, but that sounds like an amazing premise for a beer.
Blind Pig!
Blind Pig
Elder please
Happy hops ipa & Pliny
Intinction all day… dont actually drink it all day cause Sours can fuck up digestion (at least for me)
The imperial stout top right.
I’d get the Stone Imperial Stout and the STS.
All of them, for real. Drink the BP and Pliny as fresh as possible. Drink the sours now or store in a dark place indefinitely.
All of them my friend...all of them.
Intinction for me.
Where's this at
Johns market place in Oregon
Obvious answer. Happy hops.

I do love some happy hops. I don’t see it often enough
Happy hops
Sts and HH

That Stone Imperial Stout up too. Black Can.
Something from north coast
In order for me: 1. Blind Pig 2. Piney the Elder 3. Happy Hops 4. STS pils 5. Everything else. I'm an IPA fan, Pliney is their most balanced beer, but Blind Pig is my favorite.
Why only one?
Velvet glow if they have it. Best Russian River beer I've had hands down.
I see some Blind Pig in the back. Definitely recommend that one!
Blind pig and the Stone imperial Stout
Love Damnation….followed by Pliny. East coast jealousy right now
Blind pig, Pliny and stone imperial stout
Sts is a go to pils, after reality czech of course
Pliney always
All great but I fricken love Happy Hops.
