What summer seasonals do you fine gents look forward to? Personally I look forward to Brooklyn summer ale and Oberon every year. Locally, Ginga wheat is a delectable treat.

maybe a kolsch. those SN beer camp mixers are usually fun too.

Sidenote, dafuq the Bud Chelada at in this ******* city?

I consider myself a Chelada Advocate. Unfortunately the sparse hispanic population in the SWPA area leaves not many options. Liberty Beer in Bloomfield has the lite version in cans. Have seen it at a dump near Swissvale once too. dat picante tho...

Oberon and Victory Summer Love always find their way into the fridge each summer. Locally, Ginga Wheat and Akamai.

Good call on Summer Love. I'll also add Deschutes Twilight Summer Ale.

Saturday afternoon I'm gonna have some wife and baby - free time so I'm thinking of going down and checking out the wares of the South hills. Insurrection, Hitchhiker and Apis. Other than not going to Hitchhiker bevause their beer is brewed inside a Waste Management dumpster that's been set aflame, any of you South Hillzers have any advice on something else to check out.

Keep in mind that me going South of the tunnel is like going north of the wall on Game of Thrones.

Olde English 800 40's. Anything that is a Saaz Party. Brooklyn Summer Ale is pretty good.

Drink a Mead at Apis and pick up a bottle to take home. Go to Insurrection and get Wings and a beer or two. Go to Hitchhiker and get some beers. Grab a Pizza at A'pizza Badamo to take home.

This sounds like an incredibly succinct plan. I like it.

jagoffbrewer will you have any beers on tap this coming weekend that aren't awful? If you did, that would be swell.

Once you have the wings from insurrection and pizza from Badamo you'll be wondering why you don't cross the bridge more often. I really like the Trial By Fire Saison at Hitchhiker.

Stoop kid is that you?

Kolsch is amazing. Its truly under represented in my opinion. Any recommendations for kolsch available around Pgh besides the Four seasons one OneDropSoup mentioned?

Crossing bridges is scary though.

Brew Gentlemen have a dry hopped one on right now. I'm not the biggest Kolsch fan but it was good.

I've heard good things about the kolsch at Helicon.

last year's surprise summer beer for me was flying dog numero uno. they got it in 16oz cans now and you probably don't even have to wait in line.

Must be **** then.

kbuzz I drank ONE beer at the Pirates game on Friday. Two Hearted? Nah. Sweetwater? Hard pass.

 

[kbuzz1]

 

[preluderl]

I didn't see Two Hearted or Sweetwater anywhere though, TBH. I checked out that Pub whatever that's under the escalators out in LF but their selection was uninspiring and the line was enormous.

Behind home plate...all the way up in the nose bleeds. Forget what it's called...but they always had 16oz'ers of something decent.

The main thing I realized on Friday is that I'm too snobby to sit out in the bleachers. People out there act a fool.

I hope to try this, but with as anal as the style seems to be, I'm not sure how they're calling a dry-hopped, all-Motueka ale a Kölsch. Not knocking the beer, just curious on the designation.

I've heard good things about the kolsch at Helicon.

It's awesome. I've never had it, but I'm just saying - it's awesome.

It seemed to check all the boxes for a Kolsch just with a bit of a twist. They didn't go heavy handed with the hops at all. It was really nice. I can usually spot Motueka right away and I didn't know that was what it was hopped with.

I know this is a bit premature, but I go to a music festival every Memorial Day weekend, and canned beer is the preferred medium for my drinking (No glass container policy). With all the talk here about summer beers, and the multiple options for local to go beer, Im trying to put together a list of what to possibly bring. DG is the only local selling cans correct? Looking at crowlers from possibly VooDoo and Roundabout? Is anyone else selling local options of festival approved containers? I was thinking of maybe getting a couple crowlers from Pig Iron, because they were reasonably priced. Are they still that way? Might have to look into getting a non glass growler or two to fill as well. Anyone have any advice on these? Ie. type, size, place to purchase from?

Voodoo has cans fairly regularly.

Rivertowne, North Country, & less frequently, East End, Hop Farm, Penn can.

This has secretly been my go-to growler from them as of late. I really enjoy the low abv and the hop presence in a kolsch. I think a lot of people try it after something like Albatross and simply don't get it. Perfect lawnmower beer IMHO.

Hey kbuzz - how many Burial cans will you send me for one of these? Appears to be right in your Draai Laag ABV wheelhouse.

"Öl (pronounced Oil) was aged in Laphroaig scotch casks, bourbon casks and 27-year-old rum casks then finally bottle conditioned with local maple syrup. The beer was bottled in late summer of 2016 in hopes that it would be ready for out 5th Anniversary. We tested the bottles over and over and although the taste was fantastic, the beer would not naturally carbonate and we could not release it. So, we waited, and waited, and waited some more...until now. Some 9 months after bottling and 4 months after our intended release date the beer has finally awaken and is ready for you guys.

Bottles are $9.75 each and there is a 6 bottle limit per person per day. Öl is 11.3% abv."


Yay alphabet soup style of beer-making!

I think hunterpgh has a ton of those. FYI, BG will not fill them.
