Pittsburgh

My wife is going out to dinner with her friends tomorrow night which is gonna leave me home alone with the little bambino. Do we have multiple endorsements for Caliente's buffalo chicken pizza? Cause I've been craving some buffalo chicken pizza and the spot in Hampton is muy convenient for me.

For you & your son? Would that be rough on the little guy?

Nah I meant just for me. He's 15 months old so he's not really buffalo chicken pizza-ready just yet.

Saw a lot of people filling growlers. Multiple growlers. Do you guys think most of that beer is getting consumed locally or do ya think it's being traded away for other people's local stuff?

I filled 3 and all will make their way into my belly. I know other guys who filled as many as 12 who are shipping them out.

If I go to BG to fill growlers, I'd say 80% of them are for other people. And clearly that's no knock, I love them and their stuff, I just have multiple out of town folks who ask me for their stuff with some frequency.

I saw people filling 6 and 8 and 5 and i figured they had to be for trades. I'm the only idiot i know that would drink that much of the same beer.

In a way it hurts my heart to think someone from around here wouldn't get to drink a pint at the bar cause they sold out filling growlers, and the majority of those growlers are getting traded away. Guess that's the way things go. I got feels that i can't explain.

Edit: I'm not judging, not critiquing, not nothing, just sayin, remember that i never know what i'm talking about

I can understand that. It would be a little more bothersome to me if it were trading out on the boards instead of just sending a growler in the direction of a buddy who has an appreciation for what they do.

I filled 5. I'm gonna drink 5.

Italy days in Bloomfield, I should have gone to brew gentlemen for paste magazines #2. It would have been a quicker drive

 

[wyckydsceptre]

Why doesn't "Little Italy" have a single good Italian restaurant? Bruno Sammartino is cool though.

For sure

I always wondered that to I love beer but dropping 100 dollars on 5 growlers is just a little to much for me. And if they where for trade ur looking at another 100 for shipping not including extras that's a lot of money for one trip.

Made the mistake of getting multiple partners hooked on BG. Now I'm pecked to death, bankruptcy, and beyond by vultures every time they keg something new.

I would gladly pay for the beer, the shipping, and take care of the shipper without hesitation, but I know that it's a commitment for someone to do that so unless I really get a craving I don't ask.

I thought it was Brian Posehn at first

FTFY

You forgot to tag widespreadPGH Matt, our cicada-loving friend. #cicada #insect #finally #memorialday #cute #bug #gooutside #explore #sleepy #vanlife #turd

My sources tell me his name is Steve, he is in the industry, has followed this thread as a lurker for quite some time and really dislikes Caliente and thus was the reason for posting. I also heard that he is nervous that his employer will see his picture posted and that it is tied to that post. I can confirm that I have never met the guy, so it was not personal. I can also confirm that when I do he is getting a wedgie and/or swirly. Finally, I can confirm that I am speculating making a new meme of him for my avatar.

Im still confused at the randomness of the Punxsy comment

 

[brother rebus]

Also, don't bash on cicadas. Thats my sheeitt.

Not sure where Punxy was mentioned?

Ohh. Thought PT was an abbreviation. My bad.

the syrup extracted from the barrels that were then used for MBP.

 

[tommyguz]

Thanks for putting that in my head. I doubt it will push this out though, which has been lodged in my brain for weeks now.

fuuuuuuuuh I haven't heard that in like 3 years hahaha that's all my oldest would listen to

Speaking of Roundabout...after 3 plus years of harassing them, my first shift is tonight. Come down and tell me about the woeful aesthetics and dumb low ABV lagers

There aren't any fancy hanging lightbulbs, no board games and there isn't one board of adopted reclaimed wood. How can one be expected to drink beer there.
