    I've actually only been to Cain's once despite it being a 10 minute drive from me. Another South Hills establishment I should check out?

    Regarding my Pittsburgh watering hole travels, The Saloon is 10 minutes in one direction, Shadyside is 20 minutes in the other direction. So only a 10 minute difference. Although I wish I did, I unfortunately do not own have any Tesla made teleporting pad or anything of that nature.

    Check out their tap list in advance, but, yeah, it's worth a peek. Definitely dig their brunch. Wife and two kids eating, and me with a beer or two and I'm out the door in under/around $30. Nice way to start a Sunday. They have a lot of TVs if you like that sort of thing (I don't especially); if you happen to go in and don't see someone in a Pittsburgh sports jersey of some sort, please alert local authorities.

    Frowny face.

    Thanks for the heads up. Might have to suggest this to my Dormont friends the next time I'm hanging out with them. I'll keep a terrible towel in my car at all times as emergency yinzer apparel.

    I can understand that, but I'm indifferent towards him. It has a Cannibal Holocaust Italian horror vibe going on so I'm intrigued.

    Are you fundamentally opposed to using the actual emoticons available? :stuck_out_tongue: (<--- this is the "just kiddin' around with you" one, fyi...)

    No, I've used them. But a little piece of me dies each time I do, so I have been limiting usage.

    What the fuck is this one :astonished: for?

    How does festbier differ from the traditional style?

    Guess it's just an allergy to the emoticon graphics themselves--the look kind of puss; if for instance, I could pick from surprised Lion-O or sad face Megatron, then I might seek them out more often. Usually when I suspect my comment could be misconstrued, I just "like" the post I'm responding to, as a means to disarm intent.

    Additionally, and though it's not a harvest seasonal, Victory is set to release their new Vital IPA in a week or two as well.

    It's a little darker and sweeter than historic Oktoberfests. Many Oktoberfest beers are like that, though. Doesn't stop me from loving them. I don't give two shits about BJCP style guidelines, so I don't even know why I had to add the style thing in my original comment anyway. Prost!

    I killed a growler of HF Susan last night and still have a headache. Where has my youth gone?

    I've heard it both ways. I prefer subtle.
