Dis u? Or STG228?

That is not me but I do find it funny. Tried the firkin grabbing a GoodVibes 4pack after work. Wasn't hotting up. Something new that had a little more sweetness than their other stouts and pretty sticky/thicker mouthfeel. I don't know if I picked up coffee like you mentioned. Looking forward to finding out what it is and when we might see it on draft/bottle.

Nice. Was there any barrel on it? My assumption is that this is a similar deal to when he put on a firkin of unbarreled BM early last year.

I didn't notice any oak or barrel character. Just tasted and felt like a really big bodied stout. I don't think it was unbarreled BM so that's exciting if it's not, meaning that he's putting together another big stout of some kind.

There was a lot more chatter re: Pitt v. PSU last year.

Everyone is shocked that Penn State finally beat Pitt for the first time this Century.

 

[psbhockey12]

Pitt is becoming like the Flyers in this "rivalry" with fans saying things like "I don't care if we lose every game, but beat PSU" haha. Unranked vs Unrivaled

 

[preluderl]

Yikes.

It's not a rivalry. And everyone knew that they are on different planes this season. Not much worth discussing. Although I will say Pitt played well and Penn State did not.

 

[Matthouse3]

Nah. My Untappd research revealed that it was some kind of coffee stout (which I choose not to rate), and also that us PGH folk are the weepy sort.

I ONLY review coffee stouts. All my friends have been begging me non-stop to review ONLY them.

Popped in to the Hitchhiker soft opening last night and really enjoyed the vibe and beer. First time having any of jagoffbrewer's creations and I'll say I don't understand the disdain some seem to have for his beer (though perhaps this has passed or been overplayed). They don't strike me as beers that will tickle the scrotum of your average neckbeard, but my wife and I shared pints of Whole Punch: Dreamsicle, Floriculture (IPA w/ rose hips), and The Shakes (coffee porter) - all were highly approachable, balanced, and delicious. Live across the river in Highland Park and anticipate popping in fairly often after can pickups at DG or on slow evenings when we're looking for something to do. Congrats to the Hitchhiker team and thanks for setting up shop on this side of the tunnel.

Thanks for coming bad and having some beers, glad you enjoyed everything.

It's at Ohiopyle, isn't it?

I know this, because Ohiopyle is the best word to hear spoken in a deep Yinzer accent.

It almost sounds French when they say it.

I'm a big fan of "st" being pronounced "sht".

"Yinz got Harps on tap?" is my daily reminder that life is fragile & we should cherish every moment of it.

MAN LEARNS THE HARD WAY WHY YOU SHOULDN'T SELL CRAFT BEER ONLINE

Not everyone understands the passion craft beer lovers can have for special and rare beers. It can lead people to buy and trade beer in all sorts of ways outside of the normal bounds of purchasing alcohol, which the law isn't always ok with. That's what happened in Waltham, Massachusetts to a 44-year-old Michael Miller, according to Fox 43, who was charged for "selling malt/brewed beverages without a license."

Miller wasn't selling beer out of a physical commercial establishment, but rather had set up a website for trading rare and collectible beer called My Beer Cellar. His site is advertised as "the premiere portal for the selling and buying of collectible beer bottles, cans, signs, and other memorabilia." Furthermore, the site offers users the ability to find and trade "Pre-Prohibition and hard-to-find still sealed modern examples of collectible beer bottles."

According to Fox 43, officers set up a sting operation to take down Mr. Miller. Police posed as potential buyers and requested to purchase $700 worth of specialty beer, which amounted to 57 bottles. After the transaction went down, Mr. Miller was arrested.

While selling beer, wine and spirits without a license is certainly illegal, this situation could be perceived to be a bit of a reach. If Mr. Miller owned a bar, convenience or liquor store, and was selling on a large commercial scale, his arrest would be more understandable. Nevertheless, it appears that his website was making a profit off of selling beer without a license. And legally, you might not be able to make a distinction between a physical liquor store and a digital one. If the site allowed users to simply trade beer (like what's done on Reddit and in craft beer lines), there probably wouldn't be any legal impropriety.

Whoever memed that meme left off Yam Jam though, so obviously they're probably a shitlord whose palate isn't fully refined yet.

Even if it were a Draai Laag joint?

But then it would probably be like... Boysenberry Jam Jam barrel aged in Laphroig casks with pecan praline ice cream and critters sourced from the parking lot at Frick Park.

Ya know, if it was a Laphroaig PX cask, that might not be too bad...

But DL.

Just gimme the sherried Scotch. No need to introduce DL into the equation.
