Pittsburgh

[greg4579]

This joint is right down the road from where I'm working for the next two days. Worth going? Beers are on the expensive side, but if they kick ass I'd be OK with that.

I tried two of their beers when a buddy came by with a couple of growlers the other night. My take was "not bad". I had Sid's 1K IPA which was reminiscent of fresh Neshaminy Creek County Line IPA and their Irish Red Ale which was tasty enough...for an Irish Red Ale.

I just follow the scene remotely and occasionally luck into some bottles and growlers.

A friend of mine lives out in Minneapolis near Surly and offered to bring me some beers to try when he comes back to Pittsburgh for Memorial Day Weekend.

Anything in particular i should ask him for? Let me know your thoughts.

Fresh Todd the Axeman is a thing of beauty. I pretty much enjoy all their hoppy offerings as well as coffee bender. They make 16oz can coozies which are clutch as not enough of these exist in the world.

I second Coffee Bender. That **** is awesome!

A big thanks to JimmyWimms for graciously handing me a can of Better One or Two at BG today. Drinking it now...hot damn this is tasty.

The new BG Heffe is really tasty and this last batch of Tross is exquisite.

From what I've been told, BG Hefe is a rebranded, reformulated version of straight up regs. Had some again tonight, it's tough to choose between that, overgrowth, and tiny tross for a beer Id most want to drink all day.

I loved Straight Up Regs. Hope I like the revamped version just as much.

I wish i had a reformulated regs right now. I'm drinkin old rolling rock.

Cuvee de BG?

Blended drafts are the next big thing in craft beer.

Anybody sign up for III today? What was the line like?

 

[dadavat]

Takin a tenacious wee to the dome for this pens game, for better or worse, and its really good. Really reminds me of wulver but less of a cola taste (if that makes sense). No green apples either.

5 deep at 4:15. Roughly 50 deep by about 4:45.

This from a non beer release vet, so take with a grain of salt...

I got there at 5 on the dot and was roughly 70-80 to sign up. I'm sure tomorrow will last longer though, **** ton of people there just to get fills of the last batch of Albatross too.

Literally the first person in line was a grandma. Saw on Twitter they sold out before 7PM. I think there was 60-70 in line at open.

Moved on to a super fresh Tropicalia. Really enjoying it but almost feel like I am drinking a different style after the DG can.

Who makes that one?

Creature Comforts. If you look in the hauls thread I just got buried in their beers.

Pulling a kbuzz and drinking dalmore 12(I know it's not peaty enough for you) not worried about Beer releases or lines. Kids turned 3 today and I need some scotch.

I know, it all goes by too fast. I was crawling through tunnels and slides all day at this chain play place called Billy Beez. Awesome for them, But the hard plastic is unforgiving. I do miss the great people I met in Pittsburgh more then anything else in the city.

Scotch is a great remedy for childcare related physical exertion. Wise choice.

That beer is the only thing I miss about not having to travel to Atlanta for work anymore.

Okay, maybe Brick Store Pub.

And Decatur Package Store.

Don't forget Lee Dickson, the Atlanta yinzer Howard Stern.


He's the only thing I know about Atlanta

Every time I went to Brick Store and asked for Lee, he was off that night.

Atlanta has come a long way over the past year or so. With new breweries like Scofflaw, Orpheus and Three Taverns I'm always ready for another trip there. Thankfully their crazy laws are changing also, finally allowing breweries to sell beer without going through a distributor first.

I got in line at 530 and made the cut. That growler line was ridiculous.

 

[OneDropSoup]

You shoulda seen all the yia yia mules in the baklava line at St. Nick's. And there wasn't even a limit!

He hasn't been at BSP in years, he's been working in sales for Boulevard/Duvel Moorgat since like 2013.
