Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Are the beers listed on that sheet in their proper bragging order?

 

I guess it gives people an opportunity to brag about "not having wasted time going there"

 

Speaking of average beer -

 

Right, but Impending Descent is reoccurring now--so maybe they name they scratches they anticipate evolving into a repeating release? I can't think of another they named, so I'm not sure if there's enough info to make that conclusion.

I jumped the gun on Nimble Giant though, as it's apparently a few weeks out still.

 

I don't love Fat Tire but I'm pretty damn excited to get the Lips of Faith series and La Folie much easier.

 

Agreed. The LOF and La Folie are the only things worth it from NB. Prices should be pretty good at GE as well!

 

Are you even sure that that will be the case? I'm not convinced...

 

Do you think that they won't be shipping LoF stuff? They produce plenty of all their beers.

 

La Folie is coming end of September, along with the new Lips of Faith Barleywine, and a Ben and Jerrys collab.

 

Every other state I've traveled to recently, their Lips of Faith series are standard shelf beers. La Terrior is awesome if you've never had it.

 

Well alright then...

Guess I've just become jaded in this department since every other brewery that has shown up here, we seem to get less than other states get...but that might be more of an indictment on the buyers in this area (obviously not those that participate in this thread ) rather than the availability of the seasonal/more limited offerings from those breweries...

 

Ummm......

Shadyside Beer ‏@Shadyside_Beer 2m2 minutes ago
I'd like to give Bullfrog brewery from Williamsport, PA a sour welcome to Pittsburgh at 3:30 on Thursday. Cheers

 

@randylangford Can you give us any more of a hint?

 

Yes, please...Bullfrog hitting the area would be remarkable progress for us...since no one else seems to be able to nail down sour beer with any sort of consistency...

 

They aren't distributed anyway (to my knowledge at least). So even if we did get them, the sours would stay brewery only.

 

Then all the more reason for Randy to clarify his tweet there...

 

I wouldn't think Randy would use the word sour in the post if they weren't going to have sours available.

 

True. I'm not saying kegs don't get out for special events. But I'm not sure a normal bar can just purchase a sixtel from their wholesaler.

 

That was my thought as well. Fingers crossed.

 

probably is just a one off event or something...that would make more sense...
