Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Anyone have the ShuBrew bottled IPA?

 

Are cans available at East End yet? If so, which ones are worth picking up?

 

Pretty sure they're only canning Big Hop, but I do think they're available now.

 

Thanks. A trader sending me some of the new Other Half release was asking me to throw some in. Gonna pop by tonight and grab a few.

 

I hadn't had Big Hop in years, but I picked up some cans - it's different than I remember. Way more mellow, tea-like, leafy, a little lemony.

 

Wonder whose getting the short end of that stick.

Let me think...

 

I only trade clarity4clarity anymore so that's a tough call.

 

If you trade stouts, do you trade darkness for darkness?

 

You trade based on Turbidity. Now, do you have to have it sent to a lab to get it officially measured or will a household measuring kit do?

 

Why would anyone trade for stouts? How are you supposed to tell how good a beer is if you cannot determine its clarity?

 

I figured with a stout you just pour it into a glass and then try to shine a MagLite through it. Only acceptable if not a hint of light makes it through.

 

Trubidity is based on a scale of how many slices of Fiori's on a paper plate it takes to match the beer.

 

Should have specified these are just extras. I asked him what locals he would prefer I throw in to fill out the box I am sending. I am sending him a few bottles of Gratitude that I picked up last week.

 

Um.....obvious local "extras" for any trade

 

I had it on tap when the wife and I visited a while back. I assume its a brand new batch, not sure similar recipe or not. I think it's basically the Margot with cherries added. I wrote on untappd that "Not super sour but easy to drink, I think the sweet cherries balance it out" I remember my wife liking it a bit more than me. It just didn't really have any tang to it that I was looking for but more cherry forward and more fruity than sour

yes this (I think)

 

Cool I knew they mentioned it once or twice about having it wasn't sure if it was an every Monday thing. Sounds pretty cool though

 

Forgot to mention, they also had this in bottles at Shadyside GE yesterday.

 

Everyone knows you need to use the Fenix TK35 Ultimate edition to determine that. Otherwise it's just amateur shit.

 

Nice, I hope there are some left when I stop by after work.

 

I'm willing to spin down beers in our centrifuge to determine the percentage of solids in the beer so that no one is getting robbed on clarity4clarity.

Of course, I'll need one for a sample...
