I'd love to think they might have a couple left after I get off work, buuuuutttt...

I stopped at H20 around 8:15 on Wednesday thinking that they would still have some (since they were selling 2 cans at a time), I was wrong.

Sunday we are releasing 'Agrio' a Margarita style Gose with Agave, Strawberry, Lime Peel, and Sea Salt.

Notes of old man taint, dried dog turd, moldy heirloom artisan hand crafted free range non gmo breads, and black bean farts.

No toe pus?

Will it remind me of this?

Saving that for a new IPA with Galaxy.

Which hops deliver the cat piss aroma? Simcoe?

Yup, piney cat piss

 

[preluderl]

Bleh. Hard pass.

 

[barflybastard]

Love Simcoe.

 

[preluderl]

So I see Nimble Giant has simcoe. How catty can I expect it to be? Because I'm truly not a fan of that quality at all.

Let the feeding frenzy begin:
Shadyside Beer ‏@Shadyside_Beer 30s30 seconds agoPittsburgh, PA
Do you need a 4 pack of nimble giant for you weekend plans? We have 30 four packs going on the floor at 11am


Beerwanderer Is that protocol to do what MDH20 did and break them out of 4pks at an upcharge? I think the guys said it was $9 for two cans.......

I think it's as asinine as you do but I shouldn't be commenting on what's proper protocol.

Fair enough, I understand completely. I guess I just thought that was really weird to see a store do that, especially since it comes across as gouging.

 

[nhindian1]

Same. If this was a day I had off work, I would 100% be making the trip.



Have you seen the Westbrook menu for their Mexican Cakes? They still have the 2013 variants (Red Wine, Jack Daniel's, Apple Brandy), but each beer has a menu price of like $350.

I always wondered what the proper etiquette is when it comes to tipping when purchasing big bottles like this.

What's insane is that the bar I went to in Copenhagen had most of the vintage Cakes for something like $70-80

 

[preluderl]

Damn it.

Come on Troy this happens all over the place. Not necessarily the breaking up of packs but the gouging does.

Oh it sure does. Just didn't expect it from a reputable grocery chain. If this happened in a different department of the store people would be up in arms.

Cheaper to fly to Copenhagen and do a barrel aged Mexican Cake vertical than to visit the brewery itself.

There are a lot of reasons SSMDRFL gets things first and gets bigger allotments. Just like in Chicago some Binnys have better selection than others. Shop at the one with the selection you want and the beer guy that won't screw you.

We switched over to a new email platform exactly three weeks ago. I'd look in your spam folder, I just checked your contact page and it looks like they got delivered.

Now that's customer service!

Oh for sure. The selection at H20 has hit close to rock bottom anyway, only stopped by to see if they still had NG.

You do a kick ass job at keeping a great selection at MDSS, that can't be said enough!

How's that pup of yours doing? I miss that little monster.

I think you might be onto something. Single rolls of toilet paper for 50% more than in the 6 pack. Limit 2 per person.

For Ben, who badly needs a multi-quote.

I only multi-quote when all the things I'm responding to are related.

Minimally. It's so heavy on mosaic that you don't even taste simcoe imo.

Thanks Mike. Hoping Shadyside still has some left when I get out of here in a minute.

Have a good holiday threadcocks, get drunk, eat food, be safe, pound salt

Haha, I had a good laugh at that list earlier today. Kind of a joke list based on how they came up with it, but hey most of the online lists like that are just clickbait.

They should change it to: Pittsburgh has a lower walkability score and lower median house sale price and thus, they are a better craft beer city.......

1. Pittsburgh, PA
Breweries per 100,000 Adults 21+ in the State: 3
Active Brewery Permits: 256
State Beer Tax: $.08 per gallon
Walk Score: 61
Median Home Sale Price: $150,200


5. Philadelphia, PA
Breweries per 100,000 Adults 21+ in the State: 3
Active Brewery Permits: 256
State Beer Tax: $.08 per gallon
Walk Score: 78
Median Home Sale Price: $240,000

Nice try, Post Gazette... That article made me laugh in a sad way.
