We used to do a thread like this in Knoxville that I thought was very useful. Just a singular thread to post beers you see around town that you think other RBers might enjoy. Tap or bottle, doesn’t matter.

I’ll start with the Giant Eagle in Robinson had 3 bottles of Lambickx (The Private Domain entry) last night 21.99 a bottle. A bit pricy, but I thought it was a very good beer and of course since it is sitting on a shelf, easier to obtain than Cantillon.

Cheers.

I’m in there 2-3 times a week and I’ve been eyeing that beer up for months. Thanks for the thumbs up. Just got home from there and wish I would’ve read this before I went

Uinta is new to market, core lineup is decent, some of their barrel aged stuff is $$$$$$$. Saw the IPA on tap at Fatheads today.

Sierra Nevada Tumbler is out and about, fantastic brown ale IMHO. Seen it on tap at Fatheads and Pipers (OBVIOUS PLUG FOR WHERE I WORK IS OBVIOUS)

Fatheads Bumbleberry kegs and cases are out and about. Seen on tap at Fatheads and cases at Buddy’s Brews on Carson. No further comment.

Oktoberfests and Pumpkins are fucking everywhere. I know Buddy’s and Beer Express (rt 6o in Crafton) have been pimping whatever they get in on twitter.

Fresh batch of Helltown Idle Hands DIPA is around, the sort of minerally flavor from previous batches is gone, but seems a bit grassy and vegetal on the hops now. Still worth seeking out, great beer. Seen it on tap at Mad Mex South HIlls and James Street on the north side.

Fatheads had Boulder Barrel Aged Bad Moon Rising on tap tonight for the Mojo firkin, no idea how long that will last.



Great idea by the way.

Found bottles of hopping frog goose juice and BA naked evil at giant eagle today. Naked evil was a bit pricey at $22.

That’s the one I shop at so if you want one, i’ll probably be down there tomorrow again so I can pick one up and drop it off at Piper’s sometime if you don’t want to make the treck out that way.

That would be awesome. The Robinson Market District selection has gone to shit since they fired their beer lead. I’ll be at Piper’s tonight and tomorrow night if you make it down.

I’ll see what I can do. I’m assuming you want the naked evil and not the goose juice? I’m looking for somewhere to get a growler of Idle Hands that’s not in the South Hills so preferably south side, so that’s probably the next time ill be down there when I see it on somewhere.

Actually, both sound good. I think Carson Street Deli has Idle Hands on and Fatheads had it on yesterday. We’ll have it on at Piper’s in the next few days also.
