Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Big thumbs down.

Just make your entrance to the bar go through a portion of the production facility...boom, tour completed, commence boozing.

 

Even better option, don't ever go back to River Horse.

 

Same thing happened for me at Cape May Brewing but they were giving the "jerk off" motion and basically said, "go in that room, close the door, and come back out, then you can have beer"

 

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to update you on the new happenings at the brewery.

This week we are releasing Wet CPA, we used 40+ pounds of wet Citra hops from the Yakima region of Washington for this beer. The hops were overnighted to us and we used them as "wet" as possible. The aroma in the brewery during the "steeping" of these wets hops was incredible.

Also, this week we are releasing the next in our single hop pale ale series; Nelson Pale Ale.

If you haven't tried Mr. Automatic yet, you should. It's a very smooth, chocolate milk like porter. It's one of my personal favorites at the moment. It's perfect for the cooler weather or warm weather... It doesn't matter.

In the next couple of weeks we will be having two bottle releases:


- Skeuomorph, a Belgian Golden Strong aged in Apple Brandy barrels.
- Citra Saison, a single hop Citra Saison bottle conditioned with brettanomyces.

Following all of these releases there will be many more new beers in the following months. Many hop-forward beers and some not so hoppy.

Cheers.
-Zach

Ehrmergerd... I want to go to there.

 

I did get a lot of looks from people on the tour, but thems the rules. I got a growler fill before the cops showed up.

 

Wow, how long were you in there?

 

He had the latest issue of Horse Magazine so I would say no longer than 45 seconds

 

When I was in Jersey for the 4th, I hit Carton and Kane. Carton had a brief tour that lasted about 10-15 minutes and was interesting enough that I enjoyed it. Plus the tour guides were smokin' hot. Kane did not require any tour. We just walked in the back to the warehouse where they had their kettles and barrels and starting drinking.

My god...

And I will 2nd the Mr. Automatic. I really enjoyed it when I got a taste of it the other day.

 

Really looking forward to both of those bottles from BG. Citra Saison was my favorite of that series so far.

 

The Plague at DL is waaayyy cheaper than I thought. From Facebook.

Anyone want to take a guess from past experience if this will still be around on Saturday afternoon?

Also do Draai Laag, The Brew Gentlemen and Voodoo fill other breweries growlers? 32oz and 64oz? Thanks

 

Draai Laag doesn't do growler fills. The other two fill other breweries growlers.

 

The bottle release is only 300 bottles and the limit is 4. My guess would be that DL may sell out that night... But Caliente is releasing theirs on Saturday with the same parameters. You may have better luck there.

Hard to say though. DL is still pretty green to releases so anything that we can tell you is a total guess.

 

Just don't make a joke about how you're already in line and you'll be fine.

 

This seems more like it. And just for clarification, these are the new bottles correct? That makes them 16.9 oz?

 

Correct.

 

anyone know if they will be filling growlers and/or giving tasters at the plague release?

edit: just got in line behind @Stigs - perfect weather too

 

Hey, anyone know if Draai Laag fills growlers?
