Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

For those about to be pushed in a wheelchair, we salute you! FIRE!!!

 

There are also Atlas Brew Works in DC, & much further away, Atlas Brands, a European importer for a lot of Italian craft breweries. Always wondered if this name would cause friction. I'm amazed that three of the four breweries in Erie have "Erie" in the name, that drives me nuts.

 

Am I not seeing a setting in account preferences so that people can view my profile / wants ?

 

You account is on general privacy lock down, but if I pull up your avatar and view your beers, I can get access to your wants/gots.

 

ok. thanks.

is the only setting for that the "View your identities" ?

I don't see anything else for that?

 

That I'm aware, you can control, who can: view your birthday, start a conversation with you, view your identity and view your account activity (where you are/were on site recently). Not sure if there is more. At present, I can start a conversation with you and see you very basic info--I cannot see your birthday or view your account details.

Edit: forgot to quote you, @oldmetalguy and I don't know how to do that with edit; so tag.

 

Gratitude Release 3/12

If anyone sees bottles of Clown Shoes Luchador en Fuego around let me know. I see people posting in Latest hauls pics and really like this brew.

 

thanks!

 

I've been seeing less and less clown shoes stuff around in general

 

Nice to see Draai Laag distributing bottles of "Relic" and "Apples and Pears" via Shelton Brothers before they let Pittsburghers buy them.

 

Ive thought the same thing.

 

A&P is available at their tap room starting tomorrow, but I'm wondering about Relic myself.

 

ew...for real?

 

Pic of cases going out to Shelton Bros today.

 

I'm heading up to Scranton today for work. I was going to hit sabatini's for dinner but i might have a little time to shop around. Do you guys have any other recommendations up that way?

 

Paging @PSU_Mike , think he had some recommendations for that area.

 

Sabatini's is all you need. Literally the best bottle shop I've been to. Krugel's Georgetown Deli is kind of like Dee's is here. Good selection. Ridiculous price. J&H in Plains is also pretty good. Depending on how you go, J&H to Sabatini's is an easy swing.

In terms of breweries, Brewer Brewing in Wilkes-Barre Township is supposed to be the tops in the area (REALLY not saying much). Benny's Brewing in Hanover Township may or may not be opened yet but I've heard good things about his beer, particularly his hoppy stuff. Endless in Montrose is supposed to be excellent but Montrose is north of North Bumfuck, Nowhere. The more north of Scranton you go, the more rural it gets and Montrose is an hour north of Scranton..think backwoods West Virginia.

Susquehanna is really widely available there. He's pretty strictly very traditional german-style lagers so if you're into that sort of thing, they are easy to find. Goldencold Lager took 3rd at the GABF in the Helles category. That's their flagship and it's in every bar in that corner of the state.

 

Thank you very much for all the info. Sabatini's will be my first stop since its on the way to my hotel. I've actually driven past Endless in Montrose before and was really confused because it literally is in the middle of nowhere. I won't be stopping there this time but I'll keep it on the list for the next time I'm that far north.

 

Didn't see this on here yet but it looks like there may be a ManBearPig glass!
