Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Will be at Shadyside GE in about 2 hours to see. I will let everyone know.

 

even if a theatre serves beer, I BMOB. My concern is over the degree of stealthiness that I have to opperate at.

 

Thank you good sir...I've also been on the lookout for it.

 

House still has some.

 

Moonstomp (East End, Pizza Boy collab) on at East End Tonight

 

I have come to expect nothing of collabs. They seem to have just become a marketing ploy. 90% of them are boring and don't really showcase all parties involved.

What I would love to see more of from collabs is both breweries brewing the collab recipe and then we get to see how they differ.

 

Yes whenever two breweries get together to make something they each need to plant trees, harvest wood from the trees, make their own barrels, brew a sour beer, rack said sour beer onto fruit from the trees, and age with for 3 years in each other's barrel house. God forbid they just want to hang out, brew something simple. Of course its a marketing ploy.

 

4 cases left of citrusinensis at shadyside MD.

 

Yes god forbid.....

I am not claiming some holy knowledge on the subject, just voicing my perception as a consumer. For instance the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp 12 pk was (to me) nothing but a marketing ploy. Besides the Bell's beer could you see the influence of the other brewers on what they released? The New Glarus beer might as well just had the SN label on it.

On the other side, the 3 Floyds, Bruery collab was pretty cool where they brewed it at both places.

 

Sounds like Moonstomp is also dry-hopped, which could be interesting.

 

I am heading there after work today to give it a shot. Anyone else?

 

Can't go tomorrow, but I was thinking about stopping over there tomorrow at some point. Let us know how it is Troy.

 

Thanks man! Anyone actually try it yet?

 

I have a 6er in my fridge for a few days now. I'll be cracking at least one tonight.

 

Congrats, man...you just made my mind explode.

 

Also should mention they had Founder's Double Trouble bottled 6/12

 

Can't go TONIGHT, may go TOMORROW.

 

too late, mind already blown. Have to go home and drink beer to recover.

 

I can't go tonight but I sure am going tonight just despite myself

 

As long as it recovers enough for you to be able to find your way to Whole Foods tomorrow. You know, whenever your wife will let ya out of the house.
