Pittsburgh

[greg4579]

Have a charity thing this evening downtown and might have a window for afternoon drinks beforehand (early, like 330ish to 600). Thinking Smallman, but soliciting other dope/woke places down there to pregame. Imma skip the food menu, so weight any answers to taplist only, please.

Proper typically has some nice tap selections.

There has not been a release for said beer.

ok thanks .... found it ...

Looked there. And then started expanding my search—wondering how bad it’d be wondering around South Side in the rain in a suit, like maybe Pipers or CSD.

haha I get it now, I'm not smart ... wasn't paying attention to who posted it. Isn't he one of the brewers/works at BG? Of course he'd have an early bottle haha. I apologize if I don't know the ins and outs of who works where.

...some gibberish

Seeing on social media some other comments (again, I have not seen it myself), it sounds like he was kind of down on the technology boom in the area too. As a life-long Pittsburgh'er who also worked in the steel industry for almost 13 years I can admire the nostalgia, but the sustainability was just is not there.

I guess "my" best version of Pittsburgh is able to move forward and to not loose sight of our past. I would much rather see a Brew Gentlemen, East End, Voodoo, Church Brew Works and others turn forgotten spaces into someplace where people want to go then to meet a wrecking ball and make way for "new construction".

Interesting side note:
I once got into a good discussion with troygreer regarding what "saved" Pittsburgh. He was staunch on the technology industry, but my stance was for the healthcare industry. My argument was that healthcare is what supported the region from the steel industry collapse until the tech boom could take hold. The tech boom is what will propel us forward yet again, but the healthcare industry cannot be ignored.

I think Church Brew Works is open too, rumor says they have another new head brewer this week.

Ended up at CSD; probably going to hop to Pipers and then head downtown for sad apps and cash bar.

My acronym game's not what it used to be. I know I'll be ashamed I didn't figure it out on my own, but what's CSD?

I think the hipster kids with their beards & their studio apartments just call it "The Deli".

Ahh, the deli. Of course! Yup, I'm ashamed.

 

[kbuzz1]

Yup, I'm ashamed.

You know what...you should be. Especially since there was a plethora of context clues in this prior post.

But nooooooo, you were distracted by the intelligent conversation regarding the tv show stuff weren’t you?

I take back the trump ****. Was a rhetorical question, just for the record. Bad joke or whatever.

In other news, I’m about to send you free beer and you’re a PSU fan. That’s about as ****** up as it gets.
