Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week 2014

The best part of the Margot line are the double takes of people driving down Butler st.

 

And the near accidents. The people behind me just saw a line forming and started standing in it. No clue why.

 

150 bottles or so still when I left at about 9.

 

Where did you see that? I didn't think they knew yet?

 

Will they be gone tomorrow? Wanted to run down, but the wife is working and I would have had to bring the young ones, so I didn't? Think it'd be worth driving an hour and a half tomorrow morning?

 

My best guess is that bottles would be gone by the end of tomorrow night...Saturday at the absolute latest.

They don't open until 4:30 tomorrow.

 

They don't hence the slash between the two months. Talked to the brewer.

 

Yeah, I also talked to Curt at Kellly's and he mentioned that it would happen when the beer was ready, but that it probably wouldnt be until Novemberish at list. And that if it were that late, he said they would look at settin up a distribution system that didn't necessitate people camping out overnight.

 

Ahhh bummer. 4:30 opening!

 

Cool

 

For those of you that tried Margot, how is it?

 

Well, they are only doing growler fills and cans as of now...no food or anything like that (yet). So I doubt they'd get much walk in growler business at noon on a Friday.

 

Yeah, but can't make it down there for 4:30 opening....Its like an hour or so drive and I have plans after 5. Oh well, next time! Thanks for the info!

 

211 bottles left of Margot, to be absolutely precise.

 

Math and telling the truth were never his strong suits!

 

Thanks! I was just guessing based on numbers handed out and the boxes left that I could see...I wasn't too far off, was I?

 

Far enough to only have earned three lashes. Good job!

 

I forgot about the Margot release. I'll have to venture down this evening and grab a bottle or two.

 

I checked the ISO forum already. Anyone have an extra Margot? I'll be flying into Pitt Tuesday and would be happy to do an IP trade. Thanks for considering!

 

There may be some left for you to buy in person on Wednesday if you are still in town.
