Pittsburgh

Just so I have this right:

Doing well in a taste test by a magazine nobody has heard of = circle jerk

Getting the cover of a beer magazine everybody knows = ********

Have to agree with u as much as I love BG and DL is not my favorite place I have never heard of the magazine till yesterday. DL being on the cover of BA is a huge deal for the Pittsburgh beer scene to be honest.

So did Boulevard just "launch" in Pittsburgh? I'm assuming Fuhrer is handling them, yes?

You are correct

I will agree with you on one thing:

We are doing well.

earth/boris at the grog shop

So jealous. Both excellent live bands. And Wata is such a babe.

Let me know when Fatheads and FW change their packaging to include accolades from Paste magazine.

Relevance?

Are BA accolades included on packaging?

 

[tommyguz]

Think Milkman no-showed for the photo and BA had to scramble.

Probably because they are with Shelton Bro's now....so I imagine that's why they are on BA cover?

Why aren't you following them then?

 

[Rjdillman]

Why aren't you following them then?

Excuse me?

This is why I never heard of them it is a hipster magazine. And I love most of those things but when the only sport they cover is soccer it's hipster as it gets.

 

[tommyguz]

Excuse me?

You captured the twitter shot, next to Paste it says FOLLOW. Meaning you aren't following them.......I asked why if they were so awesome?

BTW: I like Paste Magazine for what it's worth.

So awesome?
Where did you get that language?

We are talking about the amount of readers they have; 5 million.

It's their Instagram account.
It's accessible by anyone.

You sure you want to argue about this with me Tommy?

Not arguing. Just wondering why you weren't following them, that's all

Don't know why you are combative. I like Paste and follow them, I was just curious as to why you didn't

You made the right choice Tommy.

Please see my last post about Instagram and accessibility.

This how Prison City responded and yes, they won't have that beer for a while.


Well, now that we have had 24 hours to digest what happened yesterday, it seems appropriate, and necessary, to share some information with every one about our Mass Riot IPA.

For starters, holy crap! Yeah, we're still pinching ourselves. This is an incredible honor to be regarded so highly among so many of our favorite beers. Beers that inspire us. Beers that we, like so many of you, spend a lot of time traveling to get our hands on.

We also understand that there is going to be a lot of curiosity and folks looking to try Mass Riot. With that, we DO NOT have any available right now. We're tiny brewery, working on a 5 BBL system. The last batch of Riot lasted 8 days. However, Ben is working to get a batch, possibly two, brewing this week. This beer will take 4 weeks to finish. SO, we're hoping to have the beer back on tap in the next 4-5 weeks.

Please keep an eye on our Facebook page and Twitter (@prisoncitybeer) for release details. We are discussing several different scenarios to be able to offer everyone as much beer as possible, as soon as possible.We will release full details in the coming weeks.

Very big thanks to the folks over at Paste Magazine. Drinking and rating 247 IPAs, A ton of INCREDIBLE IPAs at that, cannot be an easy task. It is with great humility we accept this honor.

Bigger thanks to so many folks that have been PC fans for the last 21 months and spreading the word about our small little brewery in Auburn, NY. Additionally, to our NYS brewing friends for all the shout outs, congratulatory offerings and kind words. CHEERS!

Schulzy, Dawn, Ben and the entire Prison City team.

This is so great.

The bro's told me so.

 

[Evahflow]

Catching up over a couple of days/Things I've learned
* Nothing tastes good unless it's from Butler or Beaver or one of those B places no one cares about.
* You have to follow a publication for it to be on the Up and Up and for their blind tasting to matter
* There is an actual beer advocate magazine. I just thought it was a website this whole time.
* People in this group hate on literally everything they can(If it's from Pittsburgh)

 

[kbuzz1]

This is so great.

What specifically?

If BG getting big ups from an apparently arguably obscure magazine, I agree.

If Rjdillman and tommyguz going blow for blow in the thread, disagree.

Let's all take a deep breath and blast some Boris circa early 2000s and reconvene.

The bro's told me so.

My dad has been tellin his boy Pete to put The Bros accolades on straub bottles for years. He said he wanted to wait till they got in the mag.

Blow for blow? All I saw was a KO. Exactly what happened when he tried to argue his "point" on steroids.

So glad I chose the right cup would hate to get melted by you

Also not taking time to find your post about IG and accessibility bc it doesn't have anything to do with me asking you a simple question about following them

And I'm one of the few in here who actually follows paste and likes them

Thats a very ethical business decision.
