Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

New beer on at BG - "stoop kid" - a lager.

 

Well that foolishness is setting you up for major headaches then. Sounds to me like you have your employee to be annoyed with and not the beer nerds calling in.

 

I couldn't remember the site name, but yeah that's it. Doesn't it rely on regular people submitting and fixing the list, as opposed to the establishment owning up to it anyways?

 

That one we do, though there might be a feature that allows others to edit.

Agreed. There's countless ways the higher ups screw the employees and consumers as far as getting good beer stuff in. For us it's not allowing us to have personalized social media. For Giant Eagle, it's not getting the SKUs turned on in a timely manner. And many many others

 

Java Cask just hit State College area at the distributor. So I would assume the next couple of days

 

I rarely do this, but certainly have. When I'm just really desperate to "go to the movies", I can usually find something watchable.

I personally don't really buy growlers, for several reasons, but if I did, there are several places around town that I would expect I could always find something I'd be happy drinking, and probably wouldn't feel the need to do too much preparatory research.

 

How clear is it?

 

Can you even fucking imagine life before the interweb?

Also have you seen anyone playing the game "Cave Evil" at your game nights?

 

Somebody from this board reacting to a tired joke is pretty ironic.

 

Is that the one where you have to find Osama?

 

Thanks again for picking those up for me. I somewhat recently had an excellent simcoe sour from @dadavat. If anybody has a chance to try his offerings don't pass it up.

 

Anybody try All Saints BA Barleywine yet? Thinking about making the trip out there if they have any left.

 

@Brewski I got two but haven't drank any yet.

 

I know, right? It's like a growler of AB Gran Met without the Citra!

 

No and no. What is it? Wanna bring it down sometime?

 

Just don't say that two more times or you know who shows up

 

Rats. I don't have it unfortunately cause it's expensive ($100) and it's sold out. Wanted to give it a whirl before I hunt it down cause it seems awesome. You and the group you're with play as necromancers walking around this underground cave system fighting each other as well as monsters and various evils from the environment. My one friend said they played for like 4 hours when the biggest demon in the game was drawn and killed everyone and no one won haha. Seems fun.

 

I've only called GEMDSH and GEMDX, each of which have five or six taps. I wouldn't call Robinson for instance because of the length of their list or GEMDSS, because of social media presence or Bethel Park because they don't care about jack shit. Realize if this were something everyone did, all the time, it would be like Black Friday every day, but I employ this practice infrequently if not rarely. As suggested, I've even resorted to checking Untappd for recent check-ins, but this almost never yields success.

Were you able to save a bunch of BCBS for me or what? Don't answer me here; I'll call you tomorrow during lunch and dinner rush.

 

I had someone call to see if our Prop came in yet but I told them that I saved it all for you. On another note, I wish that the stores near you were more responsive but there is very little I can do about it in my current position.
