What kind of cost do you think is acceptable? Something like side project or Westbrook?
No. More in line with Hair of the Dog.

Edit: realizing they are dealing in 12 oz bottles i’d say in line with what you’d expect at a restaurant. If said bottle retailed for $20 then in the $35-40 range maybe?
 
A shame that the most loyal of you can't get this stuff though. Just doesn't seem right dammit!

******* Paste.
Don’t cry for me Carolina. I know lots of folks and no doubt if I strike out that bottle(s) will he opened with this guy.

The real loser is the expat crew who typically gets my other bottle.
 
No thanks Greg. No need. Appreciate the offer though. I'll be in town over the Christmas break and I'm willing to bet that something cool will be going on somewhere during that time. Whether it be BG or DG hops or Voodoo something or Heini's or the new HH location. So much activity in Pgh these days that there's no need to spend money on shipping to try to capture any specific moment in time.

lets grab a Heini's and scotch

Ah. I gotcha. Yeah. I'm more in line with that then the Westbrook model too
 
Does pittsburgh fat heads do crowlers now? I saw one in another thread, but I know it didn't come from Pittsburgh.

Thought they got rid of their cask and put in a crowler station, but--now that you mention it, I don't recall seeing it post renovations.

Take the space out of the link and go to it.

More story to this--the FB link didn't really clear it up? Drink there a handful of times a year and, based upon my limited interaction and knowledge of PB/Al, can't recall a person more butthurt at perceived negative feedback (inb4 beer drinkers are the worst).

Serious Q... Is it common practice to come to the line, pop a chair down and then leave? Because up until yesterday at BG I had never witnessed this.

**** that--need to kibosh it before BG equals TH.

When does the lottery open?
 
My sources have the BG line at 30. First person lined up at 12:30.

Man, how ******* stupid.

Maybe I'll have a shot tomorrow after all. The 12:30 part is a bit discouraging though

LIF time!!

I'm going to have to rely on you dudes as resources though...will need to corroborate the data between two independent (not entered in LIF) reputable sources to determine winner. If I can't get accurate info, LIF is voided.

Open to anyone, but I bet only Pittsburgh TB'ers enter...person who guesses the following question correctly or comes the closest wins a box of NC goodies (no price is right rules...can go over and still be closest) - at least a couple Heist and/or Wooden Robot crowlers, likely some High Branch cans...and some nice local bottles (Fonta Flora, etc). I don't have any packing material at the moment, so might take some time to get it to you....

1. What time does the first ********* show up tomorrow at BG for the final batch of DoubleMex allocations? (winner cannot be said *********, thus influencing the correct answer)

Tiebreaker - what is my favorite NC brewery to visit?

Taking answers until I post my last "beer and vinyl thread" post and pass out on my couch tonight drunk while listening to vinyl - usually around 1 AM.

I liken the 50th person on the last day of sign ups to Mr. Irrelevant of the NFL Draft.

I'm also not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. No restaurants, no places to have a bathroom break, nowhere close to really kill time. I might just wear an adult diaper and pass out in my lawn chair for a few hours.
