    15 bottles of Bruery beers plus 3 Cascades is a large chunk of change.

    Also, it's obvious you are buying the collectible bottles not the contents inside amirte!?

    Yep that was me asking about it. Those fatheads beers sound delicious. Too bad I will be at Snallygaster the day before, or else I would definitely go. Maybe some will stay on for awhile? A guy can hope..

    Think it was listed as a pale ale or something on here let me try to double check that. I got confuddled for a second. Got it confused with All Around. Thx.

    Could have sworn I had reviewed this one, but it was either lost by a site update, between the multiple rivertown and rivertowne BA listings, or just escaped my thoughts which is rare with beers I haven't had, especially when I cared more about ticking.

    Come back to Voodoo today, and you'll have the chance to witness several limited kegs kicking. A few barrel aged beers will be on to celebrate the grand opening of their food truck.

    It is first-come, first-serve, and there is usually some level of pre-opening line, but it varies from year-to-year (think their opening time is earlier than usual for this as well). The waffles are usually the first thing to go, believe it or not; they are fucking fantastic--especially paired with the drafts. Trying to remember if they had bacon on-a-stick one year, or if I made that up.

    Pretty sure what he's doing is illegal, but the authorities either don't know (likely) or know & don't care (also possible).

    They had the bacon on a stick (deep fried pork belly) last year. Was fantastic. My experience has been it is a really reasonable event. People flood the bar at first but then once the paranoia dies I have always been able to get multiple pours of whatever I wanted.

    Truth be told I am happiest about the French Toasted Wake -n- Bake. I opened a bottle recently and it was still fantastic.

    enh, food's whatever for me. I'll probably just try to be first in line and grab a growler or two of CBS to go.

    If they are doing growlers of CBS, I'll be zero-th in line.

    I can't tell if this is pro- or anti-CBS.

    It might not be either, but rather anti- big ass crowds.

    I think growler fill = less to go around = no bother getting in any line. I can't imagine they'd fill growlers of it?

    I travel to Pittsburgh a couple times per year, usually, and like to keep track of what's going on to the west of me.
