Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Teku, small barrel room glass (maybe 12oz full), and large barrel room glass (maybe 22oz full).

 

had a barrel room glass but it broke and never got another I need to get it again

 

Anyone try BG new sasion thoughts heading down tomorrow

 

Yeah. It tastes a lot like...you should go there and try it yourself.

 

Do you get commission if I do?

 

right -- so why is everyone getting so butt hurt about that thread??

 

More importantly about Fat Head's: The Fiery Voodoo Killer burger is back in Pittsburgh!

 

For me personally? Honestly, I feel debate is healthy; when you lose, you should learn something. And I'm not opposed to learning new things. Why I dipped my toes in in the first place.

And when that particular debate devolved into nonsense, non sequiturs and name-calling, I think calling bullshit on a group that may be too like-minded to consider evolving their own definitions (of good beer, of weird, of merit, etc.) involves emotion--perhaps leading to its length (and eventual degradation). Guess I was also partly motivated to offer a contradictory opinion to the preemptive undermining of a really good group of guys who make really good beer.

 

yeah, that....aaaaaaaand....

Cause they were talking shit on our shit, yo! Gotta defend the turf...

 

Juju is still on fat head's taplist...can anyone confirm if that's accurate and it's still available for growler fills?

 

I owe you a beer thanks for all the info homie

 

Drank a Neshaminy Creek Croydons cream ale last night, simple tasty ass beer. The fridge will be stocked this summer. I may even hide a cooler full under my desk at work. Perfect day drinking PNC park tailgating beer, to me.

 

Had it yesterday. Still growler ready.

 

New iteration of Hyer-PA at Roundabout. Mosaic, Citra, Wakatu, and Galaxy (I think). And a Chocolate Long Black Stout on nitro.

 

Is the Hy-Azacca good? I've only had one beer (that I'm aware of) with Azacca, but I definitely enjoyed it.

 

Hy-Azacca kicked already. Just an experiment he was doing. Yeah it was nice. Really drinkable. And I agree, Azacca is a dumb hop. I didn't really care for the single hop Azacca he did. It just doesn't seem to have the pop needed to be up their with Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, etc.

 

Damn.

 

I don't know how it will effect Azacca beers in the future, but a local Brewer here set up to get Azacca with the main farm in Australia and the farm decided to terminate their contract because Founders bought the entire harvest. Take it as you will, but that hop might be harder to get for smaller breweries.

 

I had that Founders Azacca after hearing good things and hated it. I say the less Azacca in circulation, the better.

 

sooooo you guys like Rochefort 8? I used to.
