Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Heisenberg drinks Fat Tire, so that's good enough for me.

 

Best show ever

 

RuinTen?

 

*ahem* De Garde *cough*

That's exactly how I feel about their beers. Regular/Imperial Bu(s) I've had are pretty much lacto and fruit. Delicious fruit, to be sure. But there is little-to-no complexity in many of their beers.

 

FWIW, Oro Negro is being released today. Obviously not PGH/Western PA, but I know a few of you make it out to VE once in awhile. Wouldn't be surprised if a few bottles of this makes it there. If anyone goes out to the brewery and doesn't want a full allotment, let me know.

 

I picked up some wood ya honey and BA black kiln 2 weekends ago at VE after I drank the BA oil of Aphrodite I forgot was in my cellar. Should be up to VE again in a few weeks hope I can find some of that oro. glad my parents live about 15 minutes away from VE.

 

What about it?

 

Just curious if that was one of Stone's misses in bombers that you mentioned. I love that beer and was just curious. That's all.

 

ISO so hard.

Which gives me an idea as I'm typing this. Anyone want to do a chili stout share/tasting? Oro, Abraxas, GNVP, Mexican Cake, etc. I can bring a Huna.

 

One year I had it, it was pretty good...but the more recent bottle I had was a little more meh...

But overall I was referring maybe more to their non-hoppy experiments? That lo-fi/hi-fi thing was garbage...so was that pale stout or whatever that was...

Nonetheless, I keep buying them cause they're cheap and they occasionally have a hit (Xocoveza).

 

Same here if anyone makes it out there.

 

Just an FYI, it says Oro will hit distro next week which, in all likelihood, means VE will get some. 1 hour drive beats the hell out of a 4 hour drive to Athens. I will be watching their FB page very close in the next few days.

 

Been meaning to make the trek out there anyway and with work being a bit slow, next week seems like a perfect long lunch.

 

... to vintage estate

 

if this gets started I have an xocoveza 14, dragon's milk with toasted chiles, and track #8

 

I got a growler of Black Strap, a handful of jalapenos, and a french press.

 

Don't forget a TBSP of cinnamon.

I like the "Mayan" stouts, but with a little time on them though so some of the spices can mellow out.

 

The Mexican thinks they're too spicy?

 

I've never had a beer I couldn't drink due to spiciness. Though the Ghost Face Killah @jeevo gave me might make me think twice.

 

When I was at Pizza Boy I had their jalapeno lime pale ale and could not finish it, and chili pepper stouts are one of my favorite styles. Way hotter than Habanero Sculpin.
