But no start up brewery will ever be able to afford to set up shop in Wexford, McCandless, etc. Bellevue/West View, maybe.

I know this is parsing - how is Bellevue considered North Hills but not Emsworth?

Okay...new request....ho1kb: get your **** together and open your second location already...

I believe that the borough blocked their permit. To quote McCandless' Chief of Police, Gary Anderson: "Our community cannot, in good conscience, allow a business comprised of known price rapists to prey on our vulnerable citizens. They should put them on some sort of national registry & have their balls cut off & branded. May God have mercy on your souls." * End quote.

*This is 100% true.

Fair point. I was thinking they were further apart.

Is this part true?

No. But the quote is. OR IS IT?

Seriously though, I bet it would be pretty tough to get a brewery permitted in Ross or Wexford. Thems peoples is snooty.

Yeah...I'm not even talking about those places...literally ANY neighborhood along 279 North will do....

ODS knows every man within a 200 mile radius who's ever once uttered the words "I'm gonna start a brewery..."

Ryan's coming from something of the same background as Chris from Helicon - T.R.A.S.H. member, took Best of Show in their competition a few years ago (German pils, I think) & got to brew it on Rock Bottom's system. He used to be active on BA (@slickerryan), I first met him at a big post-Gratitude release bottle share at The Library about...6 years ago.

Yall motherfuckers need more stoplights before you get a brewery.

I would think a brewpub in McCandless / Wexford would kill it - put it by the Whole Foods and rake in all that disposable income.

But yeah, real estate is crazy expensive there as I am sadly learning from trying to buy a house there..

This is why we rented in McCandless for years and then, when we were ready to buy, ended up in Allison Park. It's not a "cheap" area by any stretch, but cheaper than McCandless/Franklin Park/Wexford, for sure.

I miss being over there though.

What makes finding space for a brewery in Wexford so expensive is that you need to find a spot big enough to have a massive parking lot to accommodate all of the massive SUVs that take up two parking spots. Basically, you need to have more parking spots than stated capacity for the building.

Trophy wife has one kid who she never hauls anywhere because they have a nanny... Still drives an Escalade.

This is what I keep thinking to myself. Idiots spend like a buncha idiots out there...

It would absolutely crush it assuming the quality is even mediocre. Start up costs would be a killer though. Anywhere between Ross and Cranberry would be a gold mine.

 

[preluderl]

A facility that looks and feels like Spoonwood would crush it up there, but good lord.. Can you imagine how much that would cost?

 

[chefduff2]

Just curious, how much is lets say a 4 bedroom house in that area?

According to Zillow, the cheapest 4 bed house for sale currently in 15090, which is Wexford, is $215k but it's a big time fixer upper. From there, they jump to $320k and beyond, and the baseline there isn't going to be anything fancy. New construction is going to be like 360k to 400k-ish.

That is an awful lot of money to live in Pleasantville

**** me, I need to move back to Pittsburgh. Brand new build in Ithaca is 550 on low end and usually around 625-700.

Yeah, the north Allegheny County neighborhoods are pretty ******* expensive.

But at least in Cranberry, there is the advantage of lower Butler County property taxes that help offset the expensive housing. Ironically, it really was more affordable for a family our size than living in the city...especially when considering the ****** public school systems.

And that's high around here. You could have the same house for less in other areas that are just as nice. That's just the IT area right now.

In fairness (and in my experience having just done the house hunting thing), Wexford is probably the most expensive municipality in the North Hills. Cranberry isn't much better but the taxes are significantly lower.

Yep. That's the trade off. Do you wanna spend less and also spend half of your life in your car? If you're cool with that, get up over the county line ASAP.

Other than no breweries, it's the only downside. And yeah...it sucks, but at least I get to decompress from work (aka...getting all heated in this thread) before going home to the next level craziness

 

[McMatt7]

Lesbihonest, there are already too many people becoming successful doing what they love around here. Do we really need more local breweries? Bunch of smart young people running around in baggy jeans listening to Joan Baez records? Eating healthy and ****? NOT being racist? Ugh.

Disagree all you want, i still go my window cracked hollaring back LESS VARIETY, make Pittsburgh great again. #jermainedupri2016

Honestly though, do we need more breweries? Might be a fair question to ask. They keep opening more and more and more and yet I still only visit two of them.

Part of that is how lazy I am though, so maybe I'm not the right person to answer that.
