hunterpgh This sounds right in your wheelhouse - UPDATE - It has been confirmed from the brewhouse: Barrel-aged Hydra Slayer will be part of our Cigar event Friday!

Can't believe Jon Snow died. Again.






*spoiler alert*

R.I.P. He was a great man who died for a good cause.

Read that Lena Heady is in the show as well. She kicked some major ass in the recent Dredd reboot.

She's one of the least attractive main characters. Copious amounts of eye candy.

Shadyside Beer ‏@Shadyside_Beer 43s43 seconds agoPittsburgh, PA
First Friday Tapping of Goose Island Gillian and Alvinne Wild West aged in pommerol region red wine barrels at 3pm Friday July 1st.

Also, looking forward to Wild Elf, which should drop later this year? But maybe that's wrong and it won't be until they finish their expansion.

Their Instagram says mid-July. It's already been bottled.

I've never been out to the taproom. Thinking I may day trip out when that one drops.

And it would be cool if the Giant Eagle next to me didn't suck and would get some Nimble Giant.

But they do, so they won't.

How is Nimble Giant? I was thinking about grabbing a 4pk today after work

the shaler one right? It keeps getting progressively worse.

B1 was a top 3 DIPA for me. This is a slight recipe change (B1 was Citra/Mosaic, B2 is Azacca/Mosaic/Simcoe) but if it's half as good as the first run, I think everyone will be very pleased. I have a case reserved.

Previous iteration I had was very good.

 

[troygreer]

I saw Shadyside mentioned having it today. Is it a "hard to get beer"? Aka will it still be there at 5:30?

 

[preluderl]

Yeah it's garbage. I don't even waste my time walking through it anymore.

troygreer I've never had Nimble. I wanted to try it this go around, but it's nearly impossible for me to get over to Shadyside after work anymore. Just aren't enough hours in the day.

 

[HeadHunter]

I'm trying to get Postmates to have Beerwanderer deliver me some Nimble Giant but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

[PSUMike]

My buddy in Harrisburg said this batch is as good as the first. Take that as you will.

I think all the market district are getting a bit but I'm not 100% sure of that

That's cool. But you know your old haunt ain't no MD.

Awesome.

FT: Nimble Giant x4 / ISO: FO+

Nimble x2 should get it done... But you're a generous man.

Where'd you see that batch 1 was Citra and Mosaic?

 

[barflybastard]

The + has to be like CCK or MD or SR-71. So, that's why four. But still...generous.

Edit: Maybe if it were called Nnnimbleee Gggianttt or King Nnnimbleee Gggianttt.

There were a few 4 packs of nimble giant left at GEMDeastshadyside as of an hour ago. I'm drinking one now and it's very good.

 

[preluderl]

Shockingly enough I did check Giant Eagle Shaler and they do not have any.

I'm sure they're waiting to clear out their six month old supply of Perpetual first.

 

[PSUMike]

North Hills folks, Save On Beer is getting some in on Wednesday if you're looking for a case. I have one reserved already. No idea on the price but I'm guessing it won't be cheap. Going for $75 at the brewery so I'm expecting ~$90.

Wouldn't be surprised if maybe they were the same or a few bucks cheaper around here. Find that often their cases are more expensive on site. Nugget, for one, is always more there, than I pay here.

Are they pounders?

Old label? GEMDSH loves old label Troegs.

Dude, you can probably sell that **** on mybeecellar, using the [old beer must be worth more regardless of style multiplier]; just note the "original" branding in your description.

 

[barflybastard]

That didn't take long:

Yeah I have no idea why I even bother going in there. It's a total waste of time. I still long for the glory days when Randy still worked there. It was bad for a while after that, now it's abysmal.

They now have both 15 AND 16 BA Old Hibernation on shelves. Still haven't lowered the price on the 15 either.

Sorry if you've been burned, we certainly had growing pains. We are finally finding our stride and please let me know your thoughts on your next trip out or let me know beforehand and I'll buy your beers. I firmly believe we are in the top 5 quality wise right now and the beer is still getting better and that will never change.

Thanks for coming out. Not a fan of Trillions of Friends a malty kettle sour doesn't do it for me but I had to make it, A Different Animal is getting a majorly revamped dry hop aka Citra Citra Citra Citra.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you're delusional. Stopped in this past Friday and was completely disappointed. Had Trillions- never tasted sooooooooooooo much sweet malt in a "sour" what reason would could there possibly be that you just "had to make it"?, Animal- don't know if this was the Citra Citra Citra Citra version but if it was you fell quite a few Citra short to overpower the vomit/sweatsock smell and taste, and Here and There ipa- which displayed a weird vegetal green pepper attribute that I have never experienced in a ipa before. Wherever you are getting that beef jerky from though, keep doing that because that **** was boss. Everything else is back to the drawing board.

Definitely a good ipa but I don't know about $90 for a case.

Don't worry, it's OK. I'm caught up on GoT now. Aaaand, discuss.
