Excellent question

Also - do you know how to post gifs? That will hasten the full blown shuggy experience for you.

Not sure how to embed them.


And where is this shuggy character?

 

[hornydevil]

I love sours... so two thumbs up...

Ive only been there once though

And where is this shuggy character?

Welcome! I can see that you're going to be fun to play with.

Tough to explain. Are you familiar with Jacques Vallee's interdimensional hypothesis? Visitations from entities from other "realities" or "dimensions" that coexist separately alongside our own?

If not, no worries. Lets just say he's in Butler.

I am actually.


I listen to the Joe Rogan podcast regularly... so clearly im #woke

I hope sarcasm comes off well here.

This speaks volumes. I hate them significantly and have been there three times.

You and moarhops are gonna be pals, he's the wokest dude i've ever met.

If you haven't already, maybe give these a read

Whats your gripe with them?

I have friends who have been there alot who say nothing but good things.




What are all your favorite breweries around the city?


I dont think anything can touch brew gentlemen personally.
I like hitchhiker alot though.

Got directed over here from a nice fellow on beer advocate.

You will find the sentiments regarding BA here are . . . well . . . less than warm.

Nice to find people from the city talking about beer, its nonexistent on that site.

Don't talk about beer TOO much, though. That'll get you in trouble.

Seriously, though, here are some ways to ensure that you're well received on TB:

1) Tell me to **** off and/or go away whenever possible

2) Build up a library of meaningless and ridiculous gifs and use them as responses to posts that you don't like. Even if they don't make sense as a response, still use them.

3) Don't start any new threads. All the threads that are needed have already been created. So sayeth the Lord.

4) Don't have any opinions of your own. Hivemind ONLY here.

5) Make sure to stroke-off anyone who has been here since the "early days". They're always right, even if they're not.

In other words, it's just like BA, but without the silly, over-the-top moderation. You also can't say ****, ******, or retard without it coming out homie. Just a heads up.

Enjoy and, as always, Respect Beer!

He's our resident cynic. Great guy though to those of us who actually know him.

Go **** yourself

Their beers are WILDLY inconsistent and Dennis is a ponce. Yeah . . . that'll do.

What are all your favorite breweries around the city?

Brew Gentlemen, Dancing Gnome, Grist House, Insurrection, Helicon. Voodoo is up there, too, but not top tier, IMO, except for their Barrel Room stuff. Well . . . some of it.

I dont think anything can touch brew gentlemen personally.

They're good, but others are certainly catching up.

I like hitchhiker alot though.

They're . . . umm . . . getting better.

 

[hornydevil]

Go **** yourself

Quick learner, I see.

 

[hornydevil]

He's our resident cynic. Great guy though to those of us who actually know him.

If by "cynic" you mean "surly know-it-all douchenozzle", then, yeah, he's our resident cynic.

Oh . . . I forgot "Pittsburgh brewery hating and expert homebrewer".

Sorry.

Shuggy hates both those brewers (as well as any other Pittsburgh brewery), will insult the taste & intelligence of anyone who likes those brewers, & seems to occasionally make an effort to convince others that BG are actually bad people. In person he's fairly agreeable, which is irrelevant to most of us most of the time.

P.S. - I had to look up what a "ponce" is...

 

[kbuzz1]

Whats your gripe with them?

I'm torn between a short answer and a long one.

I'll try a bulleted technique:

1. Dennis is pretentious AF and subscribes to the craft beer misnomer that weird = good (see: ice cream, treasure chest yeast, etc.), which has really run it's course for me.
2. Their beer descriptions and public-facing communication in general is terrible and condescending.
3. Sour beer should not be double digits in ABV.
4. Their beer is generally extremely acetic and makes me dry heave.
5. They don't know how to make good beer.
6. Their beer is bad.

In conclusion, they make ****** beer. Which is a shame because their pricing might be the best in the city...probably have to though so as not to undercut their Shelton Bros contract.

I dont know if ive had a sour over 10%

I need to find some rhinegheist peach dodo cans. I saw one somewhere was selling it that I follow on twitter but I cant remember where

Go check out DL, they can help you tick this.

 

[Kinney]

My absolute favorite beer right now is albatross. So **** anyone who says BG guys are bad dudes. Ive met Matt once, he was super cool.

Worth the trip. Cool little place. Dodgy parking, though. You like cloudy IPAs, right?

Grist House's hoppy offerings are stellar, IMO. As is their imperial stout.

Insurrection's over in Heidelberg. Right next to the Police Station.

At least i'm an idiot in real life too.

 

[hornydevil]

Acetic is the good side of things. Nail polish remover (ethyl acetate) the bad.

No thanks.

 

[McMatt7]

I don't really like double ipas, but i like Kinney 's enthusiasm.

I'm in this to make pals motherfuckers

 

[dtx00]

Good stuff so far today guys. We got a new guy, a dead guy, and a rehash of every topic discussed in this thread.

 

[Kinney]

ooh yeah. My favorite beer type.. this new so called NEIPA style.

Just got some Fuzzy Baby Ducks from a guy up north, very solid version of that style, but BG stuff is definitely better. If youve never seen the can its worth a google. Hilarious.


I need to get my hands on some treehouse and alchmeist stuff. Ive never had a chance to even try heady topper. Noone will trade that stuff over on BA. fuckers

You a mountaineer??

Will Grier for heisman bitch!

It doesn't.

What are all your favorite breweries around the city?

I keep forgetting about Mindful. Their house beers are solid and guest taps can border on fantastic. Never eaten there, though, so all the negative feels about their service is something that I can't corroborate. Bartenders are plenty attentive, though.
