Message italarican P beers 1548 º places 115 º 12:47 Tue 3/29/2016 Hey everyone, My wife and I will be moving outside of Pittsburgh to Indiana, PA, probably in early August. I hear there’s not a lot there outside of the university and imagine we’ll be doing plenty of beer outings in Pittsburgh. Two brand new breweries this year for Indiana, so there’s that at least. I just wanted to reach out and introduce myself. I hope to hang out with some of you soon. We’ll probably be up in June to look at houses, and I’ll definitely come to RBSG if you win the vote! Cheers, Anthony
Message lithy beers 2996 º places 156 º 13:12 Tue 3/29/2016 Welcome to the area, I’ll admit that I don’t know much about Indiana, PA. I’m sure some of the other locals will have more input. I have been intending to make it out to the new breweries soon. They host an annual Oktoberfest that the brewery I work at participates in. There is also a distillery opening/open? Disobedient Spirits. Past that, I still get confused when people say Indiana with no qualifier and I always default to Indiana, the state. But I’m a recent-ish transplant.
Message HornyDevil 13:13 Tue 3/29/2016 Definitely give the board a holler once you’re settled. Would be pretty cool to meet you (and your wife) out for beers. Keep your eye out for the quarterly tastings that we do. Always in search for people to participate in those. Welcome to Pittsburgh, man.

But I’m a recent-ish transplant. I’ve confused everyone when saying where I’m headed. Some have thought I’m commuting between Indiana and Pennsylvania. I think Disobedient Spirits is already open, as is Levity Brewing. Noble Stein should be open soon in Indiana (PA) as well. Hopefully this is a sign of some growth in the area and not just a blip.

The tasting crew in my part of North Carolina died off about two years ago. If anyone wants some NC brewery offerings not available up there, I’ll try to accumulate some things before the move.

Message douglas88 P admin beers 13195 º places 398 º 15:37 Tue 3/29/2016 Indiana is a nice town. And IUP will be a great place to work (I’m assuming you’re going to work there).

Cheers, Anthony Hi Anthony, I live in Indiana and work at IUP, so welcome to you and your wife! There’s definitely a better beer climate here than when I came in 2005. Some good beer bars, Levity Brewing has been open for over a month, and Noble Stein should hopefully be open in late May/early June (waiting on their license). Disobedient Spirits (owned by two IUP faculty) has been open over a year. We have an active homebrew club, which I helped start in 2007, and we meet the 2nd Tue of every month (next month at Levity). I’m also one of the organizers of Oktoberfest, now in its 5th year, which will be Sat Sep 24. Feel free to message me here or at nate@iup.edu with questions about the area, housing, etc. I look forward to meeting you. Cheers, Nate
