Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Rutherford said today duper and Kunitz will not be in the top 6 I think they will give the Russian a shot on the top 6 or maybe another signing. I think u can give Bennett a shot with 71 and 81 if he can perform with that he won't perform at all.

 

I think he's at $6.8 million per year, but point taken. As DeutschesBier below states, Neal was making $5 million. For some reason, I thought he was making $4 million per season.

And regarding your latest post, I think that Bennett is as good as gone. A change of scenery would probably be best for both parties.

I haven't had much of anything crazy in recent times. Just the normal Pittsburgh-brewery offerings (a lot of Brew Gentlemen and Roundabout). Was thinking about trading a large bottle for a mix of Heady / Julius / SOS for this weekend but didn't pull the trigger.

 

I think Bennett should be gone maybe trade him and scuds for a 5th round pick someone gets a good young talent and we get cap relife. I would love to see Joel ward in a pens uniform

 

Does Phil Kessel drink beer? It sure looks like it.

 

He has babe Ruth syndrome drinks beer eats hot dogs but still a hell of a player and for ppl to call him fat and out of shape the guy has not missed a game in 5 years

 

He is pissed he is coming to the craft beer waste land of Pittsburgh tho

 

Did you get a chance to try ShuBrew's Boot Camp yet?

 

Nope. Just put them in the fridge this morning when I got home from work.

 

I gotcha. Saw on their Facebook page that it sold out in under two hours. Very impressive.

 

I don't know how much they had available but I bought the last case at about 5:40. I'll likely crack one in the morning. Happy hour for me is 8:00am.

 

I am being sincere and genuine when I say that I cannot believe people still avidly follow the Pittsburgh Penguins. Over the past 5-6 years, it has proven itself as one of the most underperforming franchises in professional sports, making even the Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks, and Vancouver Canucks disappointing playoff runs pale in comparison in terms of let down. You have to be a fool to give another dollar or hour of your time to team if you are expecting anything more than a .500 season.

 

Looking forward to shuggy ripping a shubrew

 

Yeah, I couldn't find anything regarding the bottle count, and while it probably wasn't anything too crazy, it's cool to see them sell all of their product.

And hey, opening a beer when you wake up is probably the best way one could start their day. It's also something to look forward to when you go to bed.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy to think of where they were when they won the Cup up to now with all of their disappointing postseason exits. In retrospect, Ray Shero destroyed this team and wasted the prime years of two generational talents (although to be fair, they both have underachieved when it counted).

At least we won it all. Could you imagine being a Sharks fan?

A friend came in last weekend from Cincinatti and brought me a mixed six pack. I didn't have high hopes but she knocked it out of the park. The best beer was Chickow! from Three Digit Brewing, an Imperial Brown Ale with Hazelnuts. Man it was delicious. Big hazelnut flavor, not too sweet. And apparently they do a ton of variants so I need to get my hands on some. No idea about this place - anyone have more info?

 

Bells Wild One was absolutely delectable.
Cambridge Brewing Company Sgt. Pepper farmhouse was awesome.
Had Kosmic Mother Funk at Beermuda and loved it.

 

I think you summed up underperforming just right with sj, Wash and Van. Their whoa's have been worse than the pens.

 

Nice, I have one of each of those coming in the next few weeks.

 

@brewgentlemen @Zach_BrewGentlemen - How long do you think the lemondrop saison brett bottles will stick around? I remember the galaxy saison brett being approximately only one case.

 

We have 12 cases left. Should be around for a week or two.
