Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week 2014

Great, thanks! I will be in town Tues-Fri so maybe I'll go check it out.

 

Well...another PCBW in the books...

I hope everyone had a great week!

It was a blast meeting some of you guys and geeking out over awesome beer.

 

So how many collaboration beers did everyone get to try?

I've only had these so far:
Burton on Brett
#8 Wire

I'll get to some others this week.

 

I had the 29 Roggen-weizen (made a good hef, but couldn't detect the "Roggen"), & the Dark Angel Dunkelweizen (really good for a style I don't pay much attention to, also awesome at 4.1%).

 

Ranked in-order from what I had:
Full Pint/Lavery Burton-on-Brett
Roundabout/Rivertown No 8 Wire
EE/Lavery Roja
Church/Caliente Hop Confession
EE/Lavery Steel Valley
Penn/Fatheads Alpha Man

 

I don't think I had any collaboration beers, but i do want to say that I went to some great events this year and enjoyed everything i went to. 2011 Vintage Night at Caliente was great, Weyerbacher Vintage Night at The Library also great, enjoying some KBS on draft at Pipers Pub after work last wednesday was very cool, and the Voodoo event at House of 1000 Beers was my favorite event overall. Voodoo are the kings of barrel aged beer for me at this point and House did a great job with the large crowd that they had. Those people work their asses off and deserve all the credit for this.

 

I had a DIPA Collab from Church Brew Works/Rivertowne that was surprisingly good. They had it at Fat Head's.
