Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week

The Library in the Southside is having a Founders tap takeover tomorrow. I have a Property Law Final in the afternoon, then I'll be heading straight over.

 

Events this week have been hit or miss. A few "tap takeovers" I've gone to have had maybe 2-3 taps of said brewery. Other places announce events and then change the date and/or brewery they were advertising for. Pipers was solid so far. Double Wide's verticals tonight should be great, and hopefully the Library pans out better tonight as well.

 

I haven't gotten to go to anything yet! I plan to go to beer express from work for the Bell's tasting.

Waited too long to get tickets for Release the Firkins and also was going to go a different event saturday night but everyone bailed on me at the last minute so ended up drinking at home haha.

 

Well, that's good news!

 

See you there! Should be an awesome time.

 

I think I'm going to try to head down to The Library tonight as well. Does anyone know what time this shindig starts at? Hopefully I can find one of my non-craft friends to tag along, as a lot of my friends are going to this Steel Panther concert tonight (no thanks).

 

It was at 7, and I hope you made it. They had Nemesis, CBH, KBS, Bolt Cutter, and 2010 Backwoods Bastard on tap. They were also doing a drawing for a KBS vertical, Nemesis, and CBS. It was an awesome tap takeover, and CBH was drinking incredible. Additionally, I ordered 2 samples (KBS and Backwoods) which was given to me in a regular sized glass for the price of a sample. That got me unreasonably excited, and also more than slightly inebriated.

Cheers, everyone!

 

So, this will be the second year in a row I have made literally no events for the week (afternoon shift is the best). What have been the positive experiences so far so that next year - Odin willing - I know whi is holding the good events if I can actually get out for one. I swear, agoraphobes get out more than I do.

 

Didn't get a chance to make it down there, but I might stop down tonight for some drinks before heading out to Lawrenceville tonight. Do you guys know if they will have any of this stuff available tonight?

 

Bells Batch 9000 was pouring at Beermuda today, if anyone's interested.

 

voodoo 2 live gran cru at house of 1k beers was pretty good. curmudgeon better half was awesome last night at the library. lots of places have some nice leftovers from various tap takeovers throughout the week.
