Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

I can confirm that cranberry ge has some. Had to ask about it and they gave me two from some magical freezer vault.

 

Is the share open to anyone? I would be interested depending on what time on Sunday it is. Never done a share before but would love to try. Would have some stuff to bring

 

sure. Open to whomever, just as long as you didnt join BeerAdvocate in the month of Octob... ... ... oh, wait, I think there's been a misunderstanding here. The share was canceled.

 

I thought i was the only one that followed Plies. Thank god there are others

 

As long as you're not a Buckeyes fan.

 

Shit, man--have we not talked about this? Love the Buckeyes.

Help me out here: O-H...

 

has anyone seen Founders Sumatra mountain?

 

Untappd has it as being checked in at both McNeilly' Beer and Wexford Whole Foods within the past few days.

 

It's been st GEMDSS for 2 weeks

 

Just got back from a trip to Nashville, fit in a few brewery stops at some of the more recently opened breweries:

Bearded Iris
Smith & Lentz
Southern Grist

All had solid offerings, but in general the beer scene in Nashville has a lot of room for growth.

 

I awesome I would be interested.

I-O!

My #2 team is Pitt-- hopefully that helps Dogleg

 

I honestly don't care much; transplant from Texas.

 

They had it on draft Wednesday and they had 4 packs in the coolers. It is really good. Much like Project PAM without the bourbon.

 

Beerz. (Can't let this thread fall on the second page).

 

Headshrinker at 3 Rivers 6 pack.

 

120 spotted anywhere rand tahn in bottles?

 

Last week I received an alert that WF Wexford has it in bottles. Better call before you make the trip though.

 

Just wanted to mention that I'm still hoping to host a bottle share this summer, early afternoon in June or July. I'm trying to coordinate with some other people, to make for the best turnout possible. I'll give a heads-up when I'm closer to a date.

 

I was there last week. Don't recall seeing any Dogfish 120, but scored a bomber of Goose Island Lolita and Lost Abbey Angel's Share... nice finds, IMO.

The "dream" of Giant Eagle being a viable Craft Beer destination is relatively dead, for me at least. I know some of the locations, particularly the one out in Robinson, supposedly do great work, but all of the "local" ones to me, anywhere near where I live (North-and-East of downtown) and where I work (North-and-West of downtown), and where I tend to find myself in the Greater Pittsburgh Area, are rarely of any value. One or two of them are decent spots to pick up seasonal sixers (Steven's Point Whole Hog Pumpkin, Anchor Christmas, etc), but more often than not they just have:
1) large quantities of generic offerings that don't really interest me, or beers I already know I love and therefore often purchase by the case, not the 4-pack.
2) Interesting IPA offerings I'd purchase, if not for best-by dates that expired well over a year ago.
3) Something I'd purchase, if not for the fact that it's sitting on a shelf right next to a giant exterior window

Every once in a while I'll grab a four pack of North Coast Old Rasputin if it hasn't been baking in the sun... otherwise, unless the wife is in need of Lindeman's, I don't even bother to peruse the shelves anymore...

You are correct my bad. Looking back on the email I received, it is from Louisville KY whole foods when I traveled there a couple weeks ago. Somehow my location got set for there instead.
