Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

amazing stuff... so complex and rich

 

Regarding how the event went, I wasn't there at open so I didn't experience first hand how it went, but I think with a limited release like this, you can't expect everything to run picture perfect. I mean, Saturday's Barrel Room Release was basically the Black Friday for beer geeks within an 100 mile radius. I would imagine that the bartenders at Voodoo felt like the cashiers at a Wal-Mart on Black Friday for that first hour.

 

Would you give it a 6 out of 5?

 

Probably their PCBW event.

 

In other news:

 

A random question, what is the appeal to us layfolk of the Beer Olympics? I keep seeing social media posts about it but it looks like it is just an event for the brewers. So I can pay $20 to go watch a bunch of people that I don't know compete in events? This would be cool if people could sign up to be involved, but why would I want to go? Am I missing something?

Oh, I get a t-shirt.....

 

Reminds me of an episode of bar rescue.....any episode.

 

Earlier this month there was mention in here about a stout event at the shady side market district. Does anyone got the day and time on that? Sorry didnt have the time to go back through the old posts. Cheers.

 

April 19 from 4-7. I believe these were the beers mentioned:

Goose Island - BCBS
Fat Heads - BA Battle Axe
Lost Abbey - Track 10
Voodoo - Grande Negro Voodoo Papi
Green Flash - Unblended Silva Stout (aged with coffee beans)
Oscar Blues - Brandy Barrel Aged G'Knight

 

Sorry for spamming you guys if you have already seen this shared on other sites/groups, but we are close to our stretch goal.

We put together a raffle for a good friend of mine who lost his brother-in-law in the Wilkinsburg shootings. All proceeds will go to his sister as she was a stay at home mom, and has no source of income now.

Lots of great bottles, cthulhu, gnvp, cognac bo and luke, hommage, rye BM etc.

@SpoonwoodBrewingCo has a date been set for a bottle share?

 

At fatheads now and just got a pour of the Super Juicy Juju...holy shit.

That nose is just straight orange and it's beautiful. First sip and it's amazing, you get the juju but the citrus follows through. Somehow this is 9.6?! I could drink it all day (or for like an hour til I passed out). Top drawer here fatheads

 

Don't think so; think there is a possible June date? Still interested here.

 

I'm in for 8 on this.

 

As am I.

 

Same here.
