I understand being totally disgusted by this, but am I wrong that I want to try it now that I have seen it?
Maybe this is how we eat hotdogs in the future and this man is a time traveler.

Stone Enjoy By 04.20.22 Hazy IPA
Stone has many different kinds of Enjoy By beers, but the “4/20” is the flagship of the line.
ABV: 9% | Hops: They are not saying | 12oz cans
Bought At: Madera Ranchos Market. $12 for the six-pack.
Was it any good this year? Well, yes.
Session: Drank two during game two of Phoenix Suns playoff game against New Orleans. Drank a third after the Suns lost.
Did I catch a buzz? Not really. I may have paced them out too far apart.
I didn’t mean to but it turns out I had it during its final hours of freshness:
Still , even in its final moments, it tasted fresh enough – but I guess that’s the purpose of the whole Enjoy By line of beers, ain’t it?
Oh and, I like the can art this year – I am built in to like it as it’s an old Oakland A’s color scheme, but still cool.
It says it’s a hazy IPA but in this modern era of hazy beer, I get no hazy thoughts about this beer. It’s more like an old-school WCIPA.
Albeit a little bit on the sweet and malty side, I am giving this year’s Enjoy By 4/20 a thumbs up. I’ll try to remember it for a more accurate comparison when next year’s comes around.

Session Thoughts: Why Does Beer Have To Have So Many Calories?!
I would like to just stop and take the time to ask or maybe point out:
- Why does beer have so many calories?!
- Why does it give you a hangover if you drink too much?!
Why can’t beer stop at being delicious and giving you calm and enjoyment with a great buzz?
It’s super cool that it gives you that and I cannot stress enough how cool that is, BUT then:
- Gives you a beer belly.
- Liver Cancer or something.
- Hangovers.
When you really think about it, it is very fucked up. If there is a God, why did it decide that if you enjoy food and drink, you will gain too much weight and maybe die because of it?
You could’ve let us have nice things AND not made us portly and hungover. But you didn’t.
Total dick move if you ask me.
War Games Is A Perfect Movie To Have With A Pliny
Yesterday I had a Pliny while watching War Games – an 80s movie I love that’s sadly become insanely timely again. Outside of a couple cheeseball moments, the original hacker flick, still holds up.
It’ll make you miss the beginnings of the Internet and the 80s bedroom of your rich friend.
Side note: “Jennifer & David” are one of the most adorable couples in film – mark it down.
A Pliny is a wonderful beer to have while watching this feels-like-a-Spielberg-film-but-isn’t, classic.
The Russian River and Pliny label esthetic has always had an analog feel, much like how War Games somehow feels like when the Internet was analog.
My only wish is I had a second Pliny as mine went empty early on. I also wish I had a standup Galaga machine but that’s a whole other thing.
War Games is currently available on Netflix and Pliny is where you can find it – but you knew that.
