Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Looks like shubrew fills them too?

Depends? Personally I have a kegerator at home, so I probably wouldn't buy one, but I do think it's a cool concept.

I guess like a full on kegerator, once you have the initial purchase (the machine) I imagine it makes it worth while.

A gallon of beer (remember we are talking two half growlers) is a decent amount, not for a lot of us, but for some. I imagine there are people who would love to fill growlers (or 2) but don't want to drink them all in the first or second day they get them home. This way it would last longer I imagine (30 days? More? I forgot what their website said)

I know when I go somewhere I already try the beers, if there is stuff I like, maybe I get a growler to take home, but there are times I think, I would love that beer again, but don't necessarily feel like drinking it the next day. This would solve that problem

 

Can't wait to fill that with Black Magick.

 

But doesn't this require that the brewery supports this? There is a special type of adapter they would need to use to fill the bladders that work with the dispenser. I think it's a very cool idea but would need a lot of brewery/bar adoption.

 

Has anybody seen any Xocoveza around lately? I know a couple bottles popped up a few weeks ago but I missed them. Any more coming?

 

I have an extra for ya if you want it Mike

 

You are fucking delusional. Not once have I ever asked anybody to publicly comment at all about my beers let alone ask for praise. Most folks heap the praise in BM/PM/whatever and I've never posted those comments here.

When did I ask anybody to get me a growler of Double Galaxy? BTW my Galaxy dipa is ready for those that would like some.

Please keep making shit up about me and how awesome everything Roundabout does is. Your contributions here are much appreciated.

 

I don't think so. I think you can personally buy the filling adapter and just take it with you and it hooks onto a faucet. I could be wrong though, but yes it would be easier to have a brewery already be in participation

 

Interested.

 

My ideal kegerator

@shuggy does this count?

 

Stopped by BG to pick up a growler deep breakfast is a very good low abv stout. Snow dogs is balanced but no bitterness not bad but I need some bite to my ipa. Went home with Monmouth pretty decent dipa.

 

Nope. Post the whole quote instead of grasping at straws.

 

What's this Super Snow Dog? Is it the next in the single hop series? Simcoe?

 

Yes. Definitely correct.

 

I'll hook you up Ben.

 

From their newsletter:

Aside from a calendar and a thinly-veiled marketing nudge, this week brings with it two new beers. Deep Breakfast, a coffee milk stout, rings in at a crushable 3.3% ABV, essentially making it cold brew coffee with an added kick; and Super Snow Dog, an ultra-soft American pale ale with nearly zero bitterness whatsoever, featuring Equinox, Azacca and Columbus hops for bright flavors of mango and tea.

 

Quality post, asswipe. It's not on your website so the question isn't out of line.

 

Sorry man, I haven't. I looked too, only bought two bottles and after cracking one, wished i had purchased a lot more. Really enjoyed it.

 

Sir, I'm a hop expert. It's obviously all fuggle hops

 

Fuggle is such a quality name for a hop.
