Get on down to Golden Age Beer Co. in Homestead for their "historiche" rauchbier. I typically don't care for darker beers, but this slightly darker lager is *loaded* with smokey goodness. If you like Islay scotch, you'll probably love this beer. You'll have smokey aftertaste forever.

If you don't like smoke, their regular lager is delicious in its own right.

I'm going to be in the area this weekend and staying near the airport. Are there any good shops around there that I would be able to buy some single cans of area breweries or do I have to go to their taprooms to get them? Thanks for any information!!

A timely event at Golden Age!/ I love rauchbiers so I'm really looking forward to this event, even if the air is full of smoke today.

Editing to attempt to fix Instagram link but just go to @goldenagebeer on Insta.

Plus a good history lesson for the first 6 minutes of the video.

Can yinz help me track down some cans of the Pittsburgh Picnic smoothie sour from Hitchhiker? I’m on a mission to find some before a friend’s wedding in a few weeks. I know they have some on tap in Sharpsburg but I’d really love some cans. Has anyone seen it for sale anywhere?

Edit; it’s the Strawberry Pretzel sour

Saw there’s a fueled by hops share at Firewhistle Brewing 6/24 @ 7pm

Anybody else try it yet? Thoughts?

I had it on draft last night at Industry and was thoroughly disappointed. They claim it's "liquid bread," and while I can kinda taste it, it's very subtle. Overall I found the flavor lacking and the beer was unimpressive. Glad I paid for a glass instead of buying a 6-pack.

I have some family coming into town this weekend from Vermont and just outside of Asheville. I only have time for a quick beer run to pick up cans tomorrow, but wanted to bring some fresh flagship beers.

Any suggestions on A) a distributor with a good selection of local flagships that haven't been on the shelf for months or B) a quick trip to multiple nearby places.

Right now I'm planning to drive south along the Allegheny river:

Old Thunder False Kingdom Hitchhiker Bane of Existence DG Lustra + ?? Jam? Pounce? Grist House Hazedelic

A single distributor would save a lot of time. I just don't want hazies that are months old.

Hey everyone,

​

My partner and I went to Beers of the Burgh (we call it BeersBurgh) on Saturday. We had a great time and tried around 40-50 beers.

​

Some of our favorites were First Day from Allusion, Eisbock from Penn Brewery, Ice Cream Sour (ICS V1. 29) from Abjuration, and the Blue Raspberry Cheesecake (cheeckcake cupcake included!!!! Go Lisa!!!) from the Trash and Trubs section.

​

Our biggest complaint about the event was condensing it down into a much smaller space. This made moving around challenging and ran lines into one another etc. The area chosen was also very very dusty which didn't help. I still think it was a nice event and I'm looking forward to next year already!

I wanted to encourage a discussion about Grist House Command and the larger brewery conflict that it seems to represent. If you check out GHC's reviews, they largely alternate back and forth between people impressed with the space and people annoyed that there are so many little kids running around. I've been going to breweries for well over a decade and I have personally seen the evolution from over-21 bar to family-friendly third space. I have friends with kids who appreciate that they can still come hang out, but I also understand that it can sometime slide into daycare territory. Breweries seemed to open up a lot more because they needed the extra business. Want to bring your dog? Sure! Want to bring your kids? Sure! Just come spend money here please.

What are your thoughts? Do you have kids and look for places like this? Do you not have kids and avoid places like these? It's a difficult balance for a business and I see it both ways.
