    Between this and the FB page, it's looking like we have 7 going with 7 maybes. By Nate's archived data, that means that 3-4 people will show up...not good!! Come on Pittsburgh area beer geeks...come out of hiding and share some of those bottles!!!

    Nice! Glad you are coming in from OH!!

    For this share, there isn't any particular theme or style. We have done tastings in the past (and hopefully more in the future) where everyone brings something from one style, but this is a free-for-all! White Rajah is a great beer and will be perfect for this event!

    I didn't get any good pics, but here are a few additions based upon my check-ins...

    Blvd. Smokestack Series Imperial Stout - 2011
    Goose Island Night Stalker - 2010
    Southern Tier Gemeni
    2nd Shift - Unicorn Killer Saison UKII

    A number of bottles went home with their owers also...

    Great turn out...I think we had 18-20 people show up. I know they guys at 99 Bottles were happy with the way things turned out...I am sure they will be willing to host again.

    Just when I was about to loose faith in Pittsburgh BA's, you go out and do something to totally redeem yourself. Great turn out, and way to step up your game on the beers shared. Awesome meeting you all. Mark, John, Kevin, Tracy, Matt and everyone else hope to see you all around more and look forward to doing this again. Great time.

    Haha. Pittsburgh's version of Harry Dunne.

    I wish I could have made it to this, but if there's another one after Christmas, I'd like to drive over from Ohio and partake as well.

    I'm glad you folks enjoyed it. Having never used those hops before I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

    The people and beers were great. My buddy Brian that was with me was blown away as he had never been to anything like that. He has already asked when the next one will be.

    I was definitely too new to BA for this round. Hopefully this takes place again! Sounds like a good time
