BEER WIRE - Russian River Brewing Co.'s Pliny the Younger—you know, the one that draws lines like this—recently scored a perfect 100 on BeerAdvocate.com. According to the Press Dem, this means its the best beer in the world. [Press Dem]

EXPANSIONWIRE - Not-handcrafted grilled cheesery The Melt looks to be opening its fifth Bay Area outpost in the East Bay right by UC Berkeley. [GrubStreet]
