Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

where does one get bottle shippers in Beaver County / Pittsburgh? might have a first trade happening. maybe a 6 and a 12

 

U-Haul used to have a deal where if you spent ~$20 or so on shippers, shipping was free. Also try calling around to any wineries/wine boutique stores.

 

Wasn't someone a few pages back giving some away?

 

I usually order them from Spirited Shipper.

 

That was me but I gave them all away already.

 

Does anyone know if @eastendbrewing has Big Hop cans on hand right now?

 

They did when I was there ~2 weeks ago.

 

Doing a BiF that's to focus on locals. Picked up BG Ligne Claire, a 750ml growler of CPA, Voodoo Hoodoo bottles and a 32oz growler of Vandelay. Also throwing in a 500ml bottle of Geestlijke from Draai Laag. What else is around right now that I should include?

I don't really want to do any more growlers. Is Hop JuJu out yet? I can always do HeadHunter and I probably will if JuJu isn't around as of yet.

I've somehow not see Nugget Nectar yet either, but I've not looked very hard. Dude lives in Arizona so nothing regional here is going to be available for him.

 

There's a mountain if NN at ge Robinson. Juju is still probably 2 weeks out.

 

Saw a poster on another trading forum offer up Bourbon Barrel Plead the Fifth for some Brew Gentlemen Mammoth. Really cool to see someone outside of the city / state looking for BG's beer.

 

Just saw that myself. Pittsburgh scene on the come up.

 

Hop juju was on tap at FH Pittsburgh as of yesterday

 

Anyone happen to have a sanke tap or 2 I could borrow for a couple weeks? I'll hook you up with some beer if so. Thanks.

 

Can anyone shed a little light on the Imbibe Northside event that has collective panties in a bunch? I'm reading War Streets Brewery already telling people they aren't welcome in their brewery before their doors are even opened while Allegheny City Brewing doing damage control and basically saying they had no control over the event, they were just pouring. What the hell happened?

 

Shit hits the fan when the North Side imbibes.

 

It seems like the event got crushed by the rather massive amount of people showing up and they couldn't ticket it due to the fact none of the breweries are open and allegedly (originally said technically) cannot sell anything. On top of it, it looks like the War Streets dude went to the East End/Pizza Boy school of how to not handle criticisms and social media (even if you think you're right, probably best to not say anything).

It's cool that people in the city are so eager to come out for beer events, but it's also kind of weird that nearly 1,000 people came out to an event for breweries that are not even open yet. Seems like a good idea that was horribly mismanaged.

 

I don't think that's true. Brewing Up a Cure tickets.

 

Very good point. If that's the case, the excuse making for the chaos of the event is total bullshit.

 

Yes, and I would assume after reading a few pages discussing it is their legal right to bring children anywhere if breastfeeding you will probably see more about this in the future events. I couldn't believe Yinzers take it so seriously.

 

I didn't read that far. I would just assume if it says no kids, it means no kids.
