Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Sounds fun.....yikes.

 

BA Gratitude in bottles at East End. Randomly found a box. Less than a case left

 

Couple BAs know I'll be in town next Tuesday b/c I reached out about things to do. So far I haven't made much in the way of plans (BG closed...etc.). One of the beers I was hoping to find was Gratitude, any chance someone could snag 2 bottles and meet me somewhere that night? Just afraid they won't last for me to go myself next week.

 

They still have regular Gratitude. The message posted earlier tonight was about a random box of BA Gratitude that popped up. As far as I know, you can still walk in the door on a normal day an buy non-BA Gratitude.

 

Website actually claims to have the bottled BA version at the taproom and the reg. at the bottle shop on the strip. May seek this out.

 

not sure how many of u listen to the beerists podcast, but their newest show is all brew gentlemen????? pretty cool since the only pgh affiliated beers i have heard on there were some fatheads

Yeah I went in Wednesday night and picked up a bunch. Seemed like they had quite a bit of both left.

 

Can verify that both were at the brewery last evening, as well as variety cases of big bottles.

 

I picked up two bottles of BA and he said the case that was on the floor was the last case. I could only see about 4 bottles in it.

Had another Joe Melt (because that is what you need before going to a tasting) and man does that beer just get better and better each time I have it.

 

Didn't notice a new thread had taken place of the old nuked one. Hopefully this one doesn't cause me to quit paying attention. Lots to catch up on already.

I really enjoyed this year's BA Gratitude. I had traded for regular Gratitude a few years ago, but did not get the hype at all. Turns out I think I like BA Grat more than most people.

Also, maybe you guys can help me. I think there was a beer tasting back in March or April at House of 1,000 Beers in New Kensington for a brewery that made sour beers. Can't remember the name. The beers were all named after women, and were all sour and/or funky. Is that a Pittsburgh brewery-in-planning or is it already open? I wasn't a big fan, but thought there was maybe some potential there.

 

Anyone know if the Cinemark movie theatres in Robinson, Munhall or Pitt Mills serve beer?

 

Are you sure it wasn't the Goose Island sours (Halia, Juliet, Gillian, etc.)?

Cinemark Robinson does not. I'm not sure about the other theaters though, as I haven't been to them. The only theater I've been to in Pittsburgh where you can buy drinks at is the AMC Loews at the Waterfront.

 

Was it this event?

After catching up, it seems like it was a local brewer, not a commercial setup, at House of 1,000. I was going to edit my initial post, but already had replies. Found this out by catching up with the old thread a little more. I had stopped paying attention to that one 7 or so pages before it was dead.

Thanks though!

 

Pretty sure the Waterfront Loews is the only big theater that serves beer in Pgh.

I'm sure it was Stellmacher aka @BigHornyDevil

 

This. The Manor Theater I believe serves wine, and the one in Dormont you can BYOB (watching It Follows here was a blast), but I don't think any other major theaters serve beer in the city.

 

I saw Roundabout posted a picture on Twitter of a Raspberry Berliner. Anyone know the details on this? I didn't have a chance to try their regular Berliner, but am intrigued.
