    Yeah . . . nobody wants to walk from Braddock to Homestead via Munhall.

    Oh hell no. A walk between them wouldn't be wise. But yes, neither are in the nicest neighborhoods in the city.

    Anyone been to Cinderlands yet? Some early reviews I saw look good and the pictures that have on Instagram look like a nice spot.

    Went there on opening day. Tried the tea Kolsch and IPA. The former was really tasty and the latter was solid. Tried the spent-grain chicharrones appetizer and they were incredible.

    Place clearly has a lot of cash invested into it (depending on how you feel about that), but I think it definitely has a lot of potential. If anything, it's nice to have another option in Larryville that's not Roundabout (one of my all-time favorites), since the others in the neighborhood are pretty lame. That said, the Burghers Brewery stuff was a decent little surprise based on expectations.

    It seemed like they had some decent investments, which doesn't bother me. I know Good Beer Hunting was doing the branding for them too.

    Place looks really nice, and the early reviews of their beers look pretty promising for a start up. Doing a brewery crawl with a friend over x-mas break and this is definitely on the list.

    Roundabout posted the other day that they will have a Heini's Good Cheer bottle release on the 17th and Helltown is releasing their barrel aged brown ale on the 16th.

    Nice, I missed the post about Heini's. Did Helltown scrap the plans to open a taproom in Lawrenceville? I haven't heard anything about that in awhile

    Any info on this can release? Their website/Facebook page doesn't seem to be updated frequently.

    Per their Instagram:

    "Whole Punch: Hawaiian Punch cans will be available at both taprooms this Saturday. This beer was brewed with Milk Sugar and conditioned on Passion Fruit, Mango, Pineapple, Guava, Vanilla, and Hibiscus. Hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Vic Secret."

    Seems like Instagram is the best place for brewery updates these days.

    Steel City announced they were bringing them in for this month only. I imagine/hope it will be similar to what Modern Times did in MA where they did a one time drop and based on that they did a few more limited drops....maybe once or twice a year.

    Hitting up Cinderlands for the first time tomorrow, along with 11th Hour. Going to bookend those two with DG and BG. Looking forward to it. Will let the group know my thoughts on Cinderlands, specifically.
