Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Shuggy still disapproves.

 

shocking

 

Bottles of ABGNVP had cinnamon, drafts at VoHo in 2015 had syrup. Unless the people writing on the chalk boards were wrong at either place. But that's how they read. Don't know if batches were different or what.

 

You know, if you guys had questions for @voodoobrewery about the GNVP batches and all, it may be helpful to tag them. Otherwise they may miss them in the midst of all the bitching about tap temperatures and such. Juss' sayin.

 

Yeah you just beat me to it. Would love to hear whats what from @voodoobrewery

 

Yeah I'm sure voodoo barrel aged a whole special batch, prior to homestead being a thought, just to serve on draft at homestead, when it opened. Makes sense

 

And here I was hoping warmer beer was part of his big brewery announcement Thursday as beimg part of his brewery plans.

 

Thank you.

 

Beer doesn't just automatically lose carbonation above 40 degrees. It just needs more pressure to keep the co2 in solution. With proper pressure and restriction, draft beer can be served at any temperature you want.

Having to serve all beer as if it's an AAL is patently false.

 

Sounds like you don't read the boards when you go to either one. Again, this is what was written on there. I said I don't know if there was another batch. Put your pitchfork down.

 

Hint: there wasn't

Draft list from Homestead opening

 

They definitely wrote it wrong and forgot to put cinnamon on there.

 

Was there ever a batch with cinnamon?

 

So you're saying I was right. Jog on, champ.

 

It only always had cinnamon

 

You were right about them writing it wrong, champ, but bottles and draft were the same

 

Exactly why I wrote "I'm not sure if there was a different batch or they wrote it wrong on the boards".

 

Shew wee, glad we got that cleared up.

 

Although why am I bothering correcting misinformation, misinformation and speculation are key aspect of the Pittsburgh craft beer scene

 

It was just driving me nuts! I don't know why haha

 

Exactly and it's why I wrote back to you "There wasn't "

 

Can we get back to talking about growler fills and too cold of pours now.

I'll start off. Usually when I get my growler filled, I'll let it sit out in the car with the hot air on so I can quickly get it to the temperature I want it to be for when I get home

 

I got drunk on Great Lakes Blackout and Long Trail Space Juice last night. Got to try Crime and Lagunitas Bitter Oats too.

Did anyone else get drunk last night? What did you drink?

 

What a refreshing change-of-pace post.

I usually don't drink during the week, but I was seriously considering it at the half of the Pitt-L'ville game. What an ugfest.

 

I chose to finish off my growler of Vandelay Industries and followed with an SMS and watched a movie instead of watching Pitt get dick slapped in Louisville (Good song title or a the next BG beer?).

 

I just had a glass of Bruery Ukelele and it was pretty hard to finish. Such a weird ass beer.

 

I had barrel aged Rasputin and founders imperial while watching the office

 

Had the option to buy one of those with my society membership... Took a hard pass when I read the description.

 

No drinking for me during the week. Going to open JK Nocturn Chrysalis tonight though and OB Death by Coconut.

 

Long trail is such a nostalgic brew for me. Is this space juice around Pittsburgh? Sounds awesome and that can rules.

 

Had a 4 Hands Incarnation which was a pleasant surprise and capped the night with a Revolution Unsessionable which has been sitting in my fridge for far too long all while watching Braveheart.

FREEDOM!!!

 

Not saying that beer automatically loses carbonation, just saying it starts to come out of solution. In the summer our cooler is only 42F. Not saying anything is the right or wrong way just giving insight into why beer is served so cold.

 

Had Hawaiian Speedway at VE. It was really good but coconut didn't shine through as much as I wanted to. If anyone is interested, they might still have it on today. Wasn't especially busy when I was there, and they supposedly had 5 1/6th barrels total.

 

I got to try 4 beans for the first time (damn good!) as well as some ok stouts

 

Also saw juju was back on fat heads draft list online. Don't know if it was an old list or not

 

We split one between the two of us, figuring we each wouldn't want a bottle, for science ya know.

 

Someone on another site mentioned it was still pouring as of Wednesday, but for clarity juju was put on last Friday and from the comments in this thread, there were only two kegs.
