Pittsburgh

I just rolled my eyes so hard my nose started bleeding and my left testicle ascended into my abdomen. Thanks

Opinions are like ********. **** em.

Smallman Galley's a cool concept, but definitely isn't a party spot if that's what your group's looking for. Fatheads and Pipers are two of if not the two best beer bars in the city, and while South Side is a ******* drunken nightmare on weekends, and normally not something I'd recommend to anyone over 25, it might be just the thing you guys are looking for on a bachelor party trip. Even if you're not looking to go that hard, I'd still recommend stopping by on Sunday -- it'll be much calmer, and despite what some haters might say, fatheads brews great beer, and piper's has one of the best tap lists in the city. And they're close to where you're staying. And good food at both.

I think it's "hater", singular...as in "preluderl" ...as in "that dude has no ******* idea what he's talking about"

Is Blue dust still good? How about doublewide? Sharp Edge still hated as much?

Looking for places close to downtown. If BG and Voodoo are too far, I doubt Blue Dust is going to make the list.
Sharp Edge is stupid expensive, but if you guys are made of money, there is a Sharp Edge pretty convenient to where you're staying that'll have a bunch of Belgian and craft beers on tap.
If I were going to southside, I'd definitely go to fatheads and pipers before doublewide. But if they keep drinking long enough, maybe they'll make it down there eventually.

How about the Harris Gill downtown location. That should be walkable

I like that spot, hit it up after the Stanley Cup parade this year. It used to be called 312 or 311 or 411 or something, had the coldest Corona in the city IIRC. Personally i think the change over to Harris is an improvement because bacon and craft beer and half baked italian sandwiches but that's just one man's opinion and that one man is just me.

One of the dude's we're going with gets drunk and throws his money around a little more than he should, but one is also super cheap, so I guess we'll see.

And what constitutes "super expensive"? We're used to NYC prices haha

 

[psbhockey12]

What's that you say, Insurrection? You're brewing an English-style barleywine? To put into bourbon barrels?

Nice! I've enjoyed most all the beers I've tried from them

Super expensive for Pittsburgh, but maybe not by your standards.

 

[ur boy catlicks]

spent last summer in nyc and prices are in line with pgh. i dont claim to kno much about **** but i have the feeling PA distro laws have something to do with it.

 

[preluderl]

Any of you degenerates snag the new DG DIPA in aluminum last night?

I haven't been there in a while but I'd say most drafts will be around $8-10 for anything decent. Not appallingly high but more than it should be for the area. So I'm sure it will still be cheaper than you're used to.

 

[Shmuffalo]

I'm going to stop by Dancing Gnome on Sunday. Any idea what line will be like? I've never been in town to grab a release, and would like to grab a couple of 4 packs if available.

Last time they did Infinite Highway it was pretty long, but after the line was cleared there were still plenty of cans to go around.

Do you know what time that was? Would like to be home by kickoff...

I live like 10 minutes away and I don't think I was home by 1. But (I think) that was both the first Saturday release AND the first Infinite Highway release, so maybe the crowd/hype will be less? I don't know. I haven't been to a DG can release since that one so I don't know what they've been like lately.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll set up a tent tomorrow morning.

I've gone around 12:30 for the past couple weekend releases and didn't stand in line and was in and out. The crowd inside was packed with everyone having pours after the cans, so I've skipped that.

I've heard rumors of $14 Chimay drafts at Sharp Edge so I curiously went to their website to see & those clowns let their site registration lapse. In closing, **** The Sharp Edge.

Proper and Sieno Mercado are within walking distance and I would gladly go there before Sharp Edge. Also, Southern Tier has a brewpub near the stadiums. Penn is pretty close and has great food. Finally, Lawrenceville is pretty close and Roundabout would be a must stop.

Edit: If going to Dancing Gnome then Hitchhiker just opened their new place near there too. Grist House would also be on the way there.

 

[greg4579]

If I had 2 nights and wanted to stay close I'd do Fat Heads, Pipers and Carson St Deli on night one and the Penn, Grist House, Hitchhiker, Dancing Gnome and Roundabout the next.

I forgot about southern tier. That would probably be a good option.

That second night might be a lot of driving for a large group who are drinking a lot and may or may not have a car. Wrangling like 5 ubers to go downtown --> lawrenceville --> millvale --> sharpsburg --> downtown sounds like a pain in the ass to me.

And this coming from a monster BG fanboy.

PS - we are no longer giving you advice Dino, we are now just debating amongst ourselves...cause Pittsburgh thread.

 

[preluderl]

Soooo... I guess no one picked up any of the DG cans they released last night then? Cool and good.

I've heard rumors of a really handsome dude that was rollerblading around Sharpsburg two nights ago.

In closing, **** ya Sharpsburg.

Don't know if anyone will make it up for part 2 of Voodoo's Firkin Friday stout trio (Different new imperial stout than last week or next week) ... For those not on Facebook:

"#FirkinFriday Don't forget today at 5 pm our second pin of a brand new, never before tasted Imperial Stout is going on. If you missed last week, you won't want to miss this week! (Meadville Arch St location only)"

Speaking(typing) of Voodoo, does anybody know if they are releasing Caution! this year?

 

[jagoffbrewer1]

Not that any of you **** asses care because it's not canned and we don't have a G in out name but we drop a Double IPA Sunday and it doesn't suck.
