    Brant brewed one a while back. Keith recommended it to me. It was pretty tasty. Don't know if Steve or Justin have put it into the works since he left.

    Impressed that you were up at 1AM and again at 630AM. Either you're still up or up again. Don't sleep much myself--think it's a weakness and wish it wasn't necessary. There would be more time for drinking, but hangovers would probably be more awful.

    Still up. Work graveyard six nights a week. Not much time for a whole lot of anything let alone drinking.

    Who is Brant?!? Who is Keith?!? Who is Steve?!? Who is Justin?!?

    :wink:

    Anyway, we have not tried a Czech Pils recently. I think the Celestial Gold is kinda half German half Czech because of the heavy Saaz for aroma, but that one we did 4ish years ago was very good.

    My dad worked midnights (coalmine), and, as a consequence, didn't drink much until he retired (which is when he started into good beer). He seemed to like it, but sleeping when the sun's up looks dreadful.

    Does anybody know if Sprague Farm Brewery has outside seating, where you can eat and drink if you have a dog traveling with you?

    Figured that would happen. Don't think I'll be able to convince the wife and kids to make the trek again today. Plus football. Thanks for the info.

    After a bit more digging around, that Snallygaster event is not much of a value being pay as you go. That $38 ticket won't get you much but quality-wise Snallygaster shits all over the Big Pour.

    Yes, they have a ton of outside seating. This time of year, I'd guess way more people are outside there than inside. I've only been there once, but I saw several dogs in the back part when I was there.

    It's a lot of out door seating and people have had dogs there before when I was there

    Big secret pizza party is very good. Its a hike for me to get to homestead and Braddock but with what has been available in both places recently makes it a weekly stop. Oh and for the record I love ABGM. If anyone has some to trade BM me.

    Wasn't there just discussion about the Pittsburgh scene being tired? Its better now than it was 1 year ago and infinitely better than 10 years ago. Was that seriously in question? It's most certainly ascending.
