If you are looking for other options like that, there's a gay bar in a building behind Eleven in the Strip and The Castle in Bloomfield like 2 blocks down from Caliente.

My fiancee probably prefers I go to places like this. No eye candy (for me at least) for my wandering eyes.

I'm trying to contemplate how pissed the people are who emptied their savings accounts to buy tickets on StubHub for the game last night. Last I checked the cheapest ones were over $1,200.

I'm kinda pissed i splurged on a big daddy from Fox's. Can't imagine how those jagadouches feel.

I wouldn't try trading a MBP for a handjee there unless that's your preference

But are the handjee's there of the marshmallow variety? Asking for a friend.

With your money and their talent I'm sure anything is possible!

I ended up in Greentree yesterday after work so I swung down to Insurrection for the first time. Tried 5 samples and took home 2 growlers. I've never had anything from them so this is all first impression.

Brain Bucket (Galaxy and Nelson) was one of the growlers I bought and drank last night so I got more than a sample. Possibly my new favorite local single IPA clipping Hyer-PA. Huge nose, smooth body, and just tasted great. Light back-end bitterness as well.

Super Galaxy Sasquatch was just okay. I don't know if it was the yeast strain(s) or what but it didn't taste like other SH Galaxy beers I've had. Bought a 32 before tasting it. I may regret that. I love Galaxy so I didn't think much of trying it before grabbing a growler. I'll drink it tonight and report back.

SHPAS: Nelson Sauvin was nice for what it was @ 4.5%. Very light bodied as expected. Easy to drink with a nice hop presence but not my preference.

Aufstand with Blueberries was mildly tart, kind of acedic, and had a light blueberry flavor to it. Would have preferred more fruit and less acid. Won't induce heartburn but a few ounces was enough for me.

The stout with the Russian name was probably the highlight. Big body for 9%. First sip was a little ashy but after that, it was heavy chocolate and very creamy. 32oz of a stout is too much for me, especially this time of year, but I considered getting a half growler of this.

All in all, there's potential.

SHPA nelson was the only one of those that i've had but i thought it was a really well made session beer and i love nelson hops. Price is a little steep for a growler though considering you can get a 15 pack of founders all day for just a little more. I think most growlers are generally overpriced anyway so that's probably just me being a cheap crybaby.

Had this recently and thought it was pretty super too.

I agree with all of this. Made a trip out there for the first time earlier this week and was definitely impressed with their beers. Food was decent too. The super galaxy sasquatch was pretty much the only letdown to me, had that bandaid taste to it.

If I find myself in that area I'd for sure stop by again.

Had the insurrection stout a couple months ago and thought it was the best Pittsburgh stout I've had. ( that honor lasted until I tried bg prototype 15) I believe they have some in barrels, so looking forward to that.

I enjoyed the Brain Bucket. The SHPAS Nelson I didn't like as much. The Aufstand I had a month or so back when I stopped in and I thought it was good too. Whatever their coffee one was (I forget the name) I got a growler of and I didn't like it.

So you got a whole growler of something without even trying it?

I did it once based on people raving about a beer. That was a fun drain pour.

Yeah pretty much. Well it was a 32 oz growler, but anyways only had time to go in have 1 beer and get growlers to take home with me, so didn't have time to try everything before needing to bounce.

Voodoo has this on draft in Meadville. It's delicious. Which reminds me I am getting on with Brunch before getting a Breakfast of Champions today!

I am also going to do this at home, but I have been a bit lazy and just haven't brewed up a batch to toss on. Have the tank, adapter, faucet and everything ready to go though. So I wouldn't use this guys trick.

I think there was a post about it in the Coffee Thread on here too. But no one from here hangs out anywhere else on TalkBeer, so we wouldn't see it.

This interests me the most. Hopefully someone responds haha

"Great post! Would the nitrogen trick work for any other non-carbonated drink, such as lemonade or margarita"

Margarita's on draft!?!
