Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

Yeah pretty sure the same on the 22oz glass. Love taking BBVD bombers to the dome in mine.

 

I thought I bought my 22ozer there. I know I just bought a teku when I got my bottles of Caution.

 

Founders Azzacca and Mosaic Promise will not be year round offerings, but will be available the first part of the year.

 

On a beer related note, I do plan on hitting up BG this weekend, so please save some Persica. And Mammoth.

And Turbid Nightmare.

 

I heard BG sold out of all of their beer and have to shut down for a few weeks.

 

Not funny! Most of the "Y'all Qaeda/White ISIS" Militia members came from other States just to vandalize our shit. The Portland News is reporting that most of these obnoxious tourist were able to conceal and smuggle (thanks to Max Temkins gift of 55 gallons of lube) their generous gifts into jail. There were mixed emotions as their lawyers were able to negotiate the release of the dildos stating that they would need them as part of their defense. The Feds have concerns that these felons (who are no longer be able to possess firearms) will return home to Ohio, Arizona, Utah, and Idaho and use the dildos offensively.

 

My apologies, @TankSlapper, it's just this damn Midwestern sense of humor of mine. I've heard good things about your beer.

 

Anyone interested in a liter growler filled with Wicked Juicy or Dobis by Cellarmaker? I think I way overbought on my SF trip.

 

I did think Vanilla Isis was a funny name and pictured them just drinking all the Vanilla Ryes

 

Hey @wyckyd_sceptre how was your Texas trip; drink anything good?

 

I was told stouts , porters , saisons and sours this week. All the hops on tap next week. But I could be wrong.

 

All good. The positive that came out of it is that most people in the US can now pronounce Malheur.

 

I'll take em both

 

Thanks for asking. It was awesome. Walked to Whole Paycheck and got draft Bomb!, Sin Mint, and a few others. Scored Lakewood Temptress, French Quarter Temptress and Karbach BBH bottles. Hit up Meddlesome Moth, Rodeo Goat and Torchys for awesome food, and had shitty BBQ (which is so sacrelige I feel bad for even saying it). For quality beers, it was leaps over last time I spent time in Dallas. Going back in March so I'm pumped for that.

 

If you're looking for suggestions next time you go back I lived in Austin last year and would be happy to point some places out.

 

It's actually Quadruple Dobis

Yes please

 

Even better

 

I just had Sherry barrel wulver at caliente and it was not very good, and also $11 for a 6oz pour

 

Why don't we just get together for a share this week?

 

Wish it was that easy.

 

You obviously would have to meet up to pick up the beer. Might as well just meet up and drink it instead.

 

Depending on the day/location, I would try.

 

Short's is coming to PA, yo.

 

Saw they were expanding, but the article didn't mention the growth areas. This is good news; haven't had them since he Great Taste.

 

Have a feeling this will be on the wrong side of the state

 

Looks like Homestead posted yesterday (during my temporary banishment) that they are pouring the new Nitro Beer and Vandelay Industries

 

One on the left was the limited supply one from the first release

 

All of my Short's experiences range from "this is infected" to "this is weird".

 

the food truck there sold out of their entire stock of veggie dogs.
the dude said they only brought four... who only brings four?

Tim & Eric reference?

I was there last night and had both. I know I'm late on it, but that Vandelay is awesome.
The jerry was also very good. But Vandelay blew me away. What also blew me away, but in a different manner, was the terrible entertainment for the evening. Some crust punk chick from Alaska sitting on a milk crate, playing a banjo, using a mic/amp that she kept fucking up and sending 500dB squeeks and screeches through. It was way too loud and she had horrendous shrieking vocals. Groups of people were getting up and leaving. Including our group. At least the beer was good.
/rant

 

Anyone know what size growlers are available for purchase at Voodoo Homestead?

 

32 oz rounds, regular 64 oz and a flip top fancy 64 oz

 

Yeah I agree, Vandelay is delicious! Had Jerry Porter yesterday too and that was a treat. It's not going to blow people away but it was a damn fine crafted Porter, perfect tasting, super easy to drink. Having it on Nitro was a treat, since their only other nitro beer is cowbell!

Ouch. That music sounds rough. I guess sometimes live/free entertainment is gamble.

 

Thanks @Evahflow

 

GE Shadyside has Alesmith X bombers for $4 right now. I'll buy pretty much any craft bomber for $4, let a lone a pretty decent beer like that.

 

GEMDX has a bunch of Higher Math singles available; $8.99.

Also Stone Unfiltered Black Enjoy By, which was better than I thought it'd be by half. In the past week, they've had both Unfiltered Enjoy Bys, so excited for my little pocket of the world.

 

I've kinda lost track of all the marketdistricts that have beer, but I was pretty pleased with my virgin run at the one up Wexford way. They had a humanoid douchenozzle manning the counter, but the stock was solid.

Also talked to the dreddy dude at Full Pint Wild Side tn, and he said the soon-to-be café / bottle shop should be opening in the next few weeks. Probably means more like a month or two, but its close. Will be good to have a (second?) locally sourced craft-centric bottleshop in that part of town. 3 points for hufflepuff.

 

Sorry, which one is GEMDX?

 

I believe he's referring to the GE MD Express in Peters Twp.

 

That's the one.
