The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

tony gwynn tribute beer?

 

#RIP

 

We tried it while we were at Alesmith on Sunday. It is pretty tasty.

The white and brown 3/4 sleeve tee they have for it is pretty damned hot, though.

 

Bottles released in his honor. Beer made with him.

Made with his input, not like with him with him...

 

Got off work early. VBS - Christmas Bomb on tap. I am a very happy guy right now.

 

I thought that, but didn't want to say it.

 

Michigan ****, thanks @Tee2Grn !



Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock (gross)
Great Lakes Christmas Ale (appalling)
Oddside BBA Imperial Mayan Mocha Stout (eww)
Oddside Hipster Brunch Stout (nasty)
Oddside Morningwood Stout (barf out)
Vivant Tart Side of the Moon (gag me with a spoon)
Shorts Stellar Ale (sickening)
Shorts Juicy Tree (atrocious)

I kid, excited to try all these and very glad I've got multiples of the Oddside stuff now. I have a feeling I'm really going to like them. Thanks Ian!

 

Michigan gang bang via @Tee2Grn :



Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock - huge want, thanks for the #gopickitupformebro
Bells Expedition (I love a permawant that I cannot get here but everyone else can) Extra!
Dark Horse Perkulator - Want! Extra!

Thanks for the extras Ian totally unnecessary, and thanks for your address......

and my work #VBS entry

 

Virtual Mug Share. Thanks mini - @kgncfl ! Your root beer game is strong.

 

Haven't been VBSing much this week, been busy with my final week of student teaching. But if my final evaluation tomorrow goes well and I find out that I am, in fact, graduating (no reason to believe it won't, but who knows), that coupled with an interview already lined up means I'll be opening a few select brews this weekend (tomorrow), all in the presence of good company

 

Good luck!!

 

You're going to crush this!

 

Also the best present tonight would be if the Flyers beat the Devils, because one of my students is a devils fan and constantly talks trash on the Flyers (to be fair, we deserve it this season), but I just want to rub it in so hard tomorrow

 

Thanks for this information. I don't have much time or leeway and will be traveling with a coworker. But we get into Pittsburgh Tuesday and I figure we'd have enough time to travel from airport to at least one brewery in the area before heading to West Virginia. Time for map quest.

 

I tried to pack the most appalling box possible and it looks like I succeeded. I think you will be happy with the OddSide beers. All three are damn tasty. Juicy Tree is really interesting. I like it. I will be opening the box you sent soon and pics will follow.

 

You sneaky sneaky man. I was wondering why nobody else seemed to need a return address from me when they sent the label. It was my first time doing it so I didn't know any better. When there was extra room in the box and I had a couple wants on hand I couldn't just fill the box with extra newspaper balls.

 

BOO! BOO!

 

#VBS couldn't resist while watching the Flyers and doing my last grading of student teaching

So tasty for an easy to find, reasonably priced stout

 

There are 2 ways to go from Pittsburgh Airport to Wheeling. You can go 22 West to Weirton, WV and then down or you can go 376 East to Carnegie and then south on 79. The difference in time is negligible. If you go the former, you aren't going to go near any breweries that I'm aware of. If you go the latter, you will be near Hitchhiker. It's like 5-10 minutes off of 79. I honestly know NOTHING about them aside from what I've read here. Given your time frame, I think they are the only game in town.

Do any of you have anything to add to this @dtx00 @RblWthACoz or @Stinkypuss? You seem to hit up the most breweries of the Pittsburgh group.
