Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

yeah I was there 10 mins after he put it on twitter, was surprised both were still there. glad I work so close

 

Also, to add insult to injury she tried to buy one bottle off of the guy who got the last case and supposedly he was a dick to her. Not that I blame him for not selling it, but one day I can only hope to get a case you want and you ask for a bottle so I can smash one in the parking lot.

 

Beer Advocacy at its finest. (I meant the person who bought the case, not you)

 

So it was you Sam?

 

Case of Tiramisu-hoo at Buddy's for $120.

 

Anyone been to VE recently? My in-laws happen to be in the area and have asked my wife about gift ideas for me. I gave her a general idea of breweries and styles to BOLO for, but couldn't give specifics. Thanks to anyone who can provide current bottles that might be of interest.

Was there on Saturday. Loaded up on Rajahs, Jackie Os, cleaned them out on Unsessionable, snagged an 8 Maids a Milking for @shuggy, etc. They have some nice Prairie beers but no stouts (abv cap). They usually have some Anchorage beers worth snagging. I'll have to think more on it.

Ha, I was going to call and see if they still had the case since its kinda on my way home, but people responded on hear even before I could pick up the phone. That was the most Ive thought about this beer since I decided that I wasnt going to GEMDSS on Black Friday

 

Definitely serious if there's interest. Honestly, I'd be happy to do a 3-4 person share there if there's even that much interest. I just want to check the place out.

I haven't been yet, but from what I hear it's byob. I'm fine doing it whenever.

Seems pretty likely at least one of those things will be there.

 

I was there a few weeks ago and got a boulevard/cigar city tropical pale ale that was very good. Also got the new left hand imperial coffee milk stout, which was just OK. Got peche mortel too. I passed on a few barrel aged Jackie o's beers cause they were all $12 for 12 oz bottles. They also had the Avery Raspberry sour that I wish I would've picked up. My favorite thing about that place is the weird stuff you've never heard of before

 

@london1o1 you can count on me+1 as definites and potentially 2 more.

 

Saw that, but I think not till Thursday.

Thanks, will update in-laws.

 

Oh my god. That place has one of the hardest/my favorite GameCube games of all time - Ikaruga. I must go.

 

Okay, then it's official! I'll be at Victory Pointe in south side Friday evening with beer (thinking maybe 7ish to beat the weekend douchebag rush if that works for people). If nobody else shows (and possibly even if they do), I might just try to do a magic draft.

Hoping you're talking about VP. Who else is in?

 

Yeah, 1 case of bottles. The bottle limit is your bank account. It will be available sometime after noon. I can't give an exact time.

 

Still some PAM on shelves at Shaler GE.

 

Is anyone else disappointed in alesmith launching almost 2month old ipa as first shipment to burgh?

 

That is very disappointing I had it fresh only once and thought it was very good ipa. I figured it would sit awhile and be hard to find fresh but not at launch.
