Pittsburgh - New Beers & Local Breweries

ManBearPig (12oz x 2)- Curt came up with this crazy idea over 5 years ago and now, 3 years in the making, is finally ready for your enjoyment. He first started by seeking out the finest local honey and maple syrup and aged it in freshly emptied bourbon barrels for over a year. Then he brewed the biggest beer we've ever made, a robust imperial stout with house apple wood and hickory smoked Munich malt, and aged it in the barrels that previously held bourbon, maple syrup and honey. The result is a truly complex work of liquid art designed to be savored.

I'm a Pittsburgh native and I was just checking this thread to see what's happening in the burgh and I gotta say it's my favorite thread on this site.

 

Anybody think this will last until Friday? I'm actually going to be in town this weekend, and it makes a good excuse to come back soon.

 

Finally, the truth comes out!

 

With the line up and Black Magick making it's return, I would be surprised to see this last til tomorrow .... but that's just my guess ..??

 

Haha, preamble to a mule request...? (Aka cheers!)

 

Yeah, would def be surprised, but wtf do I know? (Typically extremely little.)

 

yes, but there are factors that will severely hinder out of towners...and even at the very first BR release, there were folks showing up just a few hours before release even with the extra time to plan their attack...

EDIT: not thinking it will last until Friday, to clarify...just that it might last into tomorrow perhaps...

 

There's no way it makes it to Friday. All stouts? Gone quick.

 

No. I got plenty of at home mules, but if you're stopping...

 

Also had 1000 Bottles of it 2 pp....

 

Come to Meadville so you can get your bottles to take home with you hahaha

 

I might try if I could ever figure out which turn gets onto second avenue... I always end on the damn liberty bridge.

so opinions are like.. well you know.. as I've only had the GNVP, and it was a little too peppery, should I be excited to try these?

 

I just now noticed that Black Magick and ManBearPig are 12oz bottles. That's different.

 

For those of you who don't yet know @wyckyd_sceptre he will be the one sitting on the ground playing dolls with his daughter !!

 

BM has always been in 12 oz..

 

Previous iterations of BM were 12ozers, no? They predated my interest so I'm not 100% sure but 99.9%.

 

SOME OF US HAVE NEVER TRIED IT KBUZZ.

I didn't know that though. I just skimmed it for the descriptions the first time through.

 

THEN WHY ARE YOU ASSUMING IT'S DIFFERENT? Or did you just mean in general as opposed to previous bottlings...

Either way, just providing info sir...

 

I thought it was decided that children had to be non ambulatory at beer events?

 

He said they would be sitting...how do we know she's ambulatory?

 

I didn't know it was a 12oz before. I just presumed all of these were 22s previously and currently.

 

But now, I see...

 

Sigh, I only got two bottles left from that release

 

I want that pork belly, in my belly.

 

I only have the Pappy BBVD left

 

only ... ??

You guys might have a handful of the very very few bottles left out in the wild from that release...

 

I always wonder how many are out there

Only if you throw in a sixer of Perpetual with the old label.

 

One is waiting on @Brewski who I said I would open the AB Black Magick with when his latest was born.

 

How long is the line at Homestead?

 

Can pick that up on the way home.

 

All the way to Brew Gentlemen.

 

Where the hell does everyone park at 4PM there?

 

If I can't find anything on the street, I usually park at that church down the block because the lot is always deserted. That's probably not good though.

 

Anyone with that kind of money probably just has their driver let them off & then circle the block.

 

This might have been the best post on this thread. I am still laughing

 

291 pages - that's quite the compliment...
