Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

I believe it was two years ago I have been holding on to it for awhile like I said I can see why ppl would like it it was just not my cup of tea

 

About fucking time.

 

Looks like @randylangford is teasing us with a blurry picture of some more Bullfrog Sours -

 

I'd argue that a change in yeast strain makes it not the same base. Especially when it changes the style category of the beer (Belgian Stout vs American Stout).

 

Yeah, you make a good point here...

I hate reading that sorta shit when other people post it...just can't help myself.

 

Yeah, I feel like we could delve into some sort of navel-gazing ontological debate there. I'm not opposed to that, just don't really feel like it right now.

 

I'm opposed to it. And don't feel like it.

 

Is that close to Meat & Potatoes? I have a reservation there Saturday. Wouldn't mind checking out a rooftop since itll be close to 90 degrees out.

 

5-10min walk. Get the Old Fashioned at M&P, best cocktail in town.

Location for next bottle share?

idk man. I get enough yeast at the bottom of my beer. Dont think I need any supplementals from other sources.

 

No, but I have happily driven 30 minutes out of my way while already in VT, and paid ~$4 a can for Heady. Would've probably been a lot easier to just spend $7.50 locally. Moral of the story: I'm dumb.

 

Musher's Law: The amount of undue hate something receives is directly proportional to the amount of undue praise it has garnered.

 

Dont beat yourself up. I have paid $10/can on black market, more than once. And definitely $7.50 at a bar. I wouldn't do this on a regular basis by anymeans. Just poor rationalization and money management on my part.

 

I probably like SMS more than Tiny, but its pretty close. The Belgian yeast makes the mouthfeel on Tiny soooo velvety. Plus I bought a case of it that first year it came out for like $60.

 

Oh yeah, I was assuming the original hypothetical was retail. If it's at a bar, I'd be thrilled to pay $7.50 for a pounder of out of market top 5 rated beer. Not even a question.

 

When H01kB had it, they were ten a pop. My wife was out that way for work and grabbed a few; hard to be upset.

 

Haha, this thinly veiled ad for Blush, masquerading as a pro- pgh craft beer blog post is pretty great. "As the saying goes, Everyone Ends Up at Blush." I was not previously familiar with that saying.

 

For sure. I'm not desperate enough for it to pay much of a premium retail, but if it's your favorite beer or you've never tried it or whatever, $7.50 or $10 or whatever, assuming it's relatively fresh (Heady doesn't seem to deteriorate as quickly as a lot of IPAs, so emphasis on relatively), seems perfectly reasonable.

 

Nice! Now you've just got 99 pages of backlog to get through.

 

Plus the nuked thread. So like 230 pages.
