Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

I wanted to ask all the usual questions but they had a huge line for growlers and I was in a hurry. The kid who rang me up was all confused and had to ask his dad where they were. He said "Under your coat", so I took it from that not a whole lot. If you strike out I'd be happy to bring one to a share.

 

Really cool offer, thanks. Interesting that is was such a mess. Chalk it up to day before thanksgiving, I guess?

 

Interested as well. I got quite a few of your ISOs and mentioned no BCBCS for me this year #justsayin

 

I saw one guy sitting who had two bottles, but other than that it was people filling growlers for Thanksgiving.

 

So anyone have any Bells 30th Anni sitting around still? I was so busy around the time of release I completely whiffed on finding a six pack of it and it got to the point where I roamed around today just looking for a stray case, to my added failure. Though, because of that journey, I am now in possession of a case of Death by Coconut if someone would like to swap =)

 

I think Shadyside has both Bells 30 and Death By. I know that have the latter. Twas in my hands last night until I found out my license was expired.

 

I've looked around for a case of 30th as well to no avail

 

Cases at McBrooms of both plus Founders Harvest.

 

I'll start us off. I'm thankful for the pittsburgh beer scene

 

I'm thankful for Eagle Rare while the in-laws are in town.

 

It's more likely that they have had Mad Elf on since 2009.

 

I am thankful for all the great BAs I have met through the years. You all might be assholes online, but in-person you're alright

 

I think I must be the only Pittsburgh BA that likes Mad Elf.

 

I enjoy it for about 6 Oz then it gets syrupy

Did anyone enter the lottery for the 17 year eagle rare on the PA wine and spirit site?

 

Also in beer news I don't know if this has been mentioned but industry is opening a second location in Robinson township at the Pointe

 

Thanks for the heads up wish it wasn't so far away won't make it until Saturday at best and I'm sure it will be gone by then.

 

Went to pig iron tonight for the first time. Really solid draft list, nice option to get 5oz pours. Picked up a few crowlers because they were the same price as 16oz drafts for the most part... 7-12$ for most all crowlers.

 

No way man. Love it.

 

Just looked at the crowler and it is just a hair over 25 oz. so not traditional size but still a good deal.

 

I did and I won a stagg. I'm hoping to swap it for some of the beers that we have such a hard time acquiring here in western PA.
