Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Prob damnation and/or redemption. Pliny and blind pig bottles don't leave Cali, only kegs to philly.

 

Oh come on now Kbuzz. It is a really good beer

 

Major want of mine regardless. I actually have a line on a bottle right now but don't have to ammo to pull it at the moment.

 

Check the score I gave it. And it was only that high because of the appearance and mouthfeel. And I'm not a stingy rater at all.

I think it might be the most over-rated beer I've ever had. That's not hyberbole. And I absolutely LOVE boozy sweet (bordering on cloying) messy beers...but that beer, to me, was a disaster. I really struggled to get through it. And I'll top all of that off with the fact that BA BWs are my favorite style (maybe not Cognac ones??).

 

Dragon's Milk Reserve bottles hit Ohio. Someone please tell me if you see them hit around town -

 

I thought it was awesome. Such a HUGE beer.

 

I might be hitting VE next week if I head over that way for work. I'll let you know.

 

I have a general rule that I won't pay over a dollar per ounce but that was the one beer that was totally worth it.

 

Yeah, I realize I'm in the minority.

No denying it was huge...was really anticipating loving it. Major disappointment though, obviously...

 

It's not for everyone. A non beer drinking friend described it as alcoholic maple syrup.

 

They also just got a case of 120'

 

Shadyside MD got Founders Harvest Ale in. It is delicious this year

 

Wexford Whole Foods also got Harvest, as well as Backwoods Bastard. They also looked to have about 10 bottles of Stone Crime.

 

What the......do you guys just drive around the city taking pictures of stacks of beer or something??

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the beer ****...

 

Yeah Shadyside MD has both of those as well. Does anyone really buy Crime? Man that is a shitty beer

 

It is from the Shadyside twitter acct.

Edit: Or from my personal beer **** collection.... Mountains and Mountains of beer

 

By the looks of it, no...not at WF at least. I considered buying one for cooking purposes. Might make some good wings / braised beef.

 

Crime is bad. It's not Ghost Scorpion Lager bad. But it's bad.

 

I am very surprised that stores put it behind the counter aka in their 1 bottle limit section. You'd think that they would be begging people to buy the whole case.

 

Wonder if Caliente in Hampton got any of the stuff that they got in Lawrenceville...
