Pretty sure Whole Foods is a sponsor, if that tells you anything.

In past years GE was a level 1 sponsor and WF was a level 2 sponsor.

If anyone doesn't know, Battle of the Barrels at GE SHadyside at 4:00pm on tuesday. This is not a PCBW event.

Not to keep piling on, and I don't think I know this guy btw (beer tours win), but based off the above comment he should probably be blackballed from craft beer. That is unless things have changed drastically from CB. Anyone have any recent updates from these guys?

I noticed their spot down the road from East End.

That's all I've got.

I'm not sure if this was intentional, but their signage makes them look like an actual discount furniture outlet.

I'm 0 for 1 with them so far, but will happily give them more chances, especially since they're on my commute home.

The Pittsburgh Craft Beer Deep State is real.

How can you generate so much hate for CB on the first day they've been open?

Gave in and bought a cinnisanity. Its rough. Don't waste your time. Gotta say liberty beer is awesome though. So much good stuff there, if not a little short on space.

Saw on Twitter they still had cans on Lustra today.

Pot meet kettle; kettle, pot.

No hate. Just haven't heard anything good about them up to this point. I will wait for your feedback

Round here unless you think a place is great you hate them. You suggested that guy should be blackballed from craft beer for merely telling people to check out a brewery. A brewery it appears you don't even have first hand knowledge of. How much can you hear about a brewery that wasn't open until yesterday?

Couch sold stuff previous to their current location, if I'm not mistaken.

I also believe I remember them being accused of having friends and perhaps even employees inflating the ratings of their beers on Untappd.

An extremely quick search on Untappd shows frequent posters in this thread reviewing Couch beers all the way back in September of 2015.

They were at a couple Big Pours. That's all I know about them.

ive listened to a couple podcasts now with jagoffbrewer on the air. I would really enjoy having some beers with you. Hope that happens some day.

Mentioning Milkman is exactly why any talk regarding CB prior to yesterday is irrelevant.

Was fun checking out DG but wasn't blown away by anything. 3/7 were kicked. Decided not to fill any growlers. Bought a 4 pack of lustra to share but not much difference in shifting clocks, aevum and lustra (lustra most green) but all tasted and looked super similar. Caligo has nice coffee but was real thin. Nice to try the place and it looks cool but don't know if I'll hunt them down in future.

H8terz gonna H8. Amirite!!!!??

That sucks to hear but I thought Better 1 or 2 was awesome. Just saying.....for the sake of positivity.

 

[psbhockey12]

Definitely not trying to hate. Trying to find the positives in the place. Bartender was niceC place cool and super clean. Nice spot but beer wasn't impressive. Again that might have been bc only the 4 I listed were on tap. Maybe better other offerings another time

You and I had the exact same first experience at DG. I don't get it, personally.

 

[preluderl]

Didn't care for DG either the first time I went. Still need to give them a second chance.

I thought this beer was delicious. Infinite Highway is insanely good.
What do I know tho. I'm just a Freshman at CiceroneU.

 

[psnydez861]

These cans will probably get way better when they start turning purple.....
