Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Vietnamese Speedway being tapped at VE on 12/10 at 6:30 PM. Paging @troygreer

 

@randylangford did that ballentine stuff come & go already?

 

@brewgentlemen, what's the situation with the Thursday evening yoga? Time, length, cost, etc.? Do you have to pre-buy tickets or just show up?
Thanks!

 

Yoga is horrible I went with my wife once after I already worked out and I couldn't finish. That is one hell of a workout.

 

Pretty sure there are links to tickets on their FB page. Usually on sale mondays at noon.

 

Picked up some more Pam at ge cranberry yesterday. And was told they have a keg on premises that would be tapped soon...talked the beer guy into making sure there was a Twitter update when that happens. I'm a big fan of this beer at the price point.

 

FYI to all bourbon lovers Van Winkle bottles go on lottery on the PA wine and spirit site today at 9 am

 

Never did one before, how does it work? Does a link go live at 9:00 AM?

 

Copied from the Fine Wine & Good Spirits Site (go to Events in the ribbon and then limited release lottery):

Welcome to the information hub for the PLCB's Limited-Release Lottery.

pretty much just register a profile on the site with CC information and just opt in to the lotteries

 

Thanks for the info @Dogleg

 

Are you able to elaborate on the new releases? Thanks

 

Thanks! I didn't know about this!

 

The last lottery worked out quite well for me.



Can lightning strike twice?

 

I was able to snag a bottle of PVW 15 last year in the PA Wine & Spirits release but I hadn't heard anything about the lottery this time until Dogleg posted it here.

 

Yeah. THANKS DOGLEG...

 

is it not illegal for anyone else to lottery off alcohol but the state can. I could be wrong. I think I remember
@randylangford said he looked into it for bourbon county.

 

I think its illegal to have people pay for tickets to enter a lottery for alcohol. Not illegal to give free tickets to have a chance to win.

 

They just released a Woodford Barrel Version of it too.
