Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Luckily I live about 4 blocks from Roundabout. Hit Voodoo at noon, then over there for BBQ.

 

Wasn't somebody here looking for Billionaire? My LBS has one left for $16. I'll pick it up if somebody wants it. They also had a Crasher in the Rye $15 and Blushing Monk multiples for $18.

 

What is your local bottle shop? I might have to get some more Blushing Monk.....I think I have an unhealthy Blushing Monk addiction....

 

Gorillo's in Butler. It's not exactly a destination locale.

 

Will grab one or two for you today if you want. I'll be stopping over after work. Let me know.

 

I've missed out on the w00tstout the past two years, will try to get my hands on this one as well.

 

I have a bottle of Billionaire as well if anyone is dying for it.

 

Just stopped in to grab a growler for my dad. Not sure how I missed you -- I must've been distracted by those delicious samples. Ran into *sip* @OneDropSoup *sip* on the way in though.

Yup.

 

When I stopped in Shadyside GE last week they still had a decent amount of Billionaire that had been sitting there for 1-2 weeks.

 

South Hills GE had several bottles as of yesterday as well.

 

Think Erie still has some Blushing Monk too, if anyone else needs more of that.

 

Caliente has Xmas in July tonight. Barrel Aged 12 Dogs, Mad Elf and 7 Swans. 7 Swans is one of the biggest let downs in the Bruery series.....

 

They have one billionaire left at Shadyside. Two case of w00t left on the floor

 

FTFY

 

Hey guys. Anyone else here live in the south hills? If so where is your go-to for six packs and singles? I'm wondering if there is something in the area with a better selection than Giant Eagle. Not that I think their selection is bad, just want to make sure I'm not missing out on something better.

 

Nope...that's pretty much it. Unless you want to go to the joke that is McStealy's. Tom's also has a six pack shop but it isn't very good.

 

I haven't been in a long time, but Brews Brothers in Castle Shannon was pretty good in years past. Can't speak to selection now but I've seen pretty good bottles over the years there, anyone been lately?

 

Brews Brothers isn't bad, but bottle wise they have the exact same selection as Giant Eagle, but it's more expensive. They do get unique drafts (Alpine, Roundabout, other local breweries) though, which Giant Eagle doesn't carry, and here you have the opportunity to buy individual bottles.

 

FIFY

 

Because you aren't supposed to drink them until 2018 (or whatever) that's why they taste bad now, You aren't letting them hit their prime.
