Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Thank you for this utterly useless update!

 

You're totes welcs

 

4 packs of tenfidy at Robinson MD 15.99

 

I just had a pint of Cuvee de Tomme for $6.42

 

PA needs grocery stores that let you drink your beer while you shop. Get on that will ya!?

 

We could just kick it old school and drink in the woods like we're in high school. That's free. Although we would need to drink Olde E 40ozers and Keystone Ice to keep it authentic. At least for me we would.

 

Went to Caliente at 6 to enjoy it half off. That place went down another peg on my list, as they listed it as a snifter but instead gave it as a 5.5oz pour. Even though their menu lists specifically that a beer is a 5.5oz snifter, they didn't seem to give a shit that they had an incorrect menu and failed to inform us before we ordered.

 

The only thing that I go for is their ocassional good sour saturday. And that guy in the speakeasy is knowlegeable/ diligent.

 

Caliente is my favorite place to pull the old "yeah honey ill pick up some takeout" move during happy hour. They have the best pepperoni rolls too.

 

I saw someone mention that Almanac is starting distribution in Philly. I'm going to assume its just Philly, and not all PA ?

 

But of course, good sir.

 

Definitely. Even though they deliver to my house, I always go pick it up. And yes I agree with @brother_rebus thats their pizza isn't anything to write to mom about, but my expectations have been so beaten to the ground at this point that I enjoy it over most other options.

 

Caliente's best food option is the meatball calzone. If I'm not in the mood for one of those, I don't get food there.

 

Philly and Caliente/HO1K

They had one Almanac bottle at Caliente yesterday.

 

I had almanac golden gate gose at HO1K almost a year ago I believe

 

Yeah H1KB has had Almanac stuff floating around for a while.

Have only had a couple of their fruited sours but I wasn't overly impressed. Have the strawberry on hand now that someone gave as an extra.

 

so you were only adequately impressed? Good to know.

 

I've only had maybe 2 or 3 Almanac sours before. They were all solid but nothing mind blowing. It would be a nice addition but I won't lose sleep over it if they are Philly only.
