Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

I'm here in line now. I have a 50 gallon drum that I'm smoking a turkey in for my thanksgiving dinner. Stop by!

 

I keep reading about this beer all over. Everyone keeps saying it's awesome. May need to track some down.

 

Here's a saucy clue: It's at Giant Eagle in Shadyside.

 

just got here - line is only about 10-15 deep so far

 

Looks like a nice short line compared to what's snaking out the door at Shadyside right now.

 

No, just the Bloomfield girls.

 

How so?

 

Looks like Pig Iron just got a crowler machine.

@wyckyd_sceptre If you don't mind me asking, where did you find 2015 BCBS and variants at?

I did get a new license though. Silver linings.

 

In case anyone was interested the All Saints BA barleywine is $13 for a 500mL swing top bottle. I have not tried it yet but must say I was surprised at the price.

 

I tried it, though it was pretty tasty, could get all of the components put of it. Only complaints I always have with their beers - undercarbed and served way way too fucking cold. It's annoying that I have to warm the beer up for 15-20 minutes for the beer to open up. It's a shame a lot of peole don't even got the full flavors of their beers.

 

Hough's is tapping BCBS Friday at 6pm.

 

And if you are so inclined D's has Mad Elf on going back to 09.

 

just ran a count and MD shady line is sitting around 115 right now

 

By chance, do you know bottle count? I want to grab a few but I don't think I can make it until Sunday. I figure I'm good, but I'm thrown off by the 500ml bottles.

 

They(and many others) serve their beer way too cold but there isn't much to open up by letting them warm. For all the talk of wild, bugs, and critters their beers don't carry much complexity.
