Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

So maybe 77-10. But that catch was a catch, before.

 

just regular? GE MD SS had it as of Thursday as 4 packs

 

Just cracked a '15 bcbw, definitely infected. Anyone else that got one around here have an issue? And are they still giving refunds?

 

Yup reg. Thanks

 

Some of the game's rules have become too complicated. It's always so odd to hear the commentators asking an official rules expert for their opinion on the play while it's being reviewed (something as simple as whether it's a freaking catch or not), and hearing that guy say what the call should be being opposite of what is actually called on the field.

Site note: Can Manning catch lightning in a bottle and ride Denver's stellar defense for the 3rd straight week and ultimately, a Super Bowl win?

Let @PSU_Mike have my 15 BCBW allotment. You drink yours yet?

 

Not yet. Was planning on doing a mini-vert but haven't gotten to it yet.

 

All over the place.

 

Plenty at MD Rob today when I was there. Minus the 4 pack I grabbed

 

Was able to enjoy BG's MOMO tonight and that is just a great beer. Tasty tropical notes with some haziness, but none of that hoof hearted yeast milkshake. Thanks Zach, Asa, Matt and crew for making it happen. You are lucky to have them in Pittsburgh.

 

Oh man, you are getting me excited for my trip there next weekend!

 

Lived here all my life.. just sounds strange to me that people would want to come visit here (aside from the obvious of family here)

Don't get me wrong, it's very cool, but I've never considered the Pittsburgh "area" a place to come visit.

 

I'm a millennial. I love football. And automatic transmission cars. And especially the skrillex music.

 

also, for the lovers:

Apparently he can. And my prediction was apparently a smidgen off.

 

It is bottled, I would imagine mainly brewpub only availibility initially until they can build up an inventory.

 

Toss up between turbid nightmare and Momo for me.

 

Lived here most of my adult life and, while it's clearly not Metropolis, Pittsburgh has no shortage of ways to entertain, in spite of its size. It's frequently listed on those "top places" lists, to: visit, live, eat, drink, etc. for reason. Don't agree with all links that have it topping lists (especially Thrillist), and we have our share of shortcomings and scumbags (but there are scumbags everywhere, often in greater proportion). Wasn't born here and traveled a bunch before kids; nearly forty states and twenty some countries later (mentioned in efforts to establish non-homer bona findes) I still like returning to Pittsburgh.

From the skyline to the confluence and the museums to the colleges, the latter which hopefully helps to push the city younger, there's often a big city feel for such a small city. Most of what it has to offer is admittedly easier to access when the weather is cooperative, and we spend a lot of our time with the kiddos outside; a trip to the Strip for breakfast and groceries, then to the Point or maybe over to Phipps, in between stopping for beers or visiting a local brewery. Used to feel there was little to offer, but realized we just weren't taking advantage of anything. Now we get out on the trails or hop in a kayak (and drink beers) and soak it up.

 

My girlfriend, who is from CT like me, started attending college in Pittsburgh less than a year after we started dating. So I've taken a bunch of trips to visit her and I've really ended up loving the city. She's had a great time going to school there. We love the food/beer, obviously, but have also loved the arts scene (she's an art history major). The Warhol and Carnegie are world class museums. Phipps and the Aviary were awesome too. She really enjoys getting out of Oakland and shopping in different neighborhoods and seeing what they have to offer. The buses make it pretty easy to do that.

I don't think I would have visited Pittsburgh if not for her being there, but I'd be missing out! It's a cool city with a lot going. It sure is a different kind of place than Connecticut!

 

Atlas carries Brew Gentlemen in bottles.

 

I would check the dates on those. Last time I looked GEMDR was still rolling with 2014 batch. That is pushing the threshold of freshness. WnB holds on for a good bit, but 2 yrs is starting to push it
