Cigar city doesn't distribute to western PA. Those are grey market beers, most likely muled from Philly.

Try the cooler at Caliente. They have jai alai and a couple others.

I'm surprised that none of you elitists have reviewed Miller Fortune.
It sounds like a pretty special experience.

Shyster wrote:I have a recommendation for a store: Vintage Estate Wine and Beer. It’s a bottle shop and taproom in Boardman, Ohio. I have relatives in Youngstown and I make sure to stop at V.E. whenever I’m in town to visit. It’s an easy drive; it’s right off 680, which itself is the first exit off the Ohio Turnpike. V.E. has a huge beer selection, and it includes dozens of brews that I’ve never seen in Pennsylvania (one example: Hitachino Nest beer from Japan). If you are anywhere near Youngstown/Boardman, or you want to take a weekend driving excursion, I recommend you check this place out.
Went there today. A hipster vibe to it, but lots of good beers...plus, you can drink while you shop. Not a bad deal. Decent prices as well.

They finally updated the list for the beer fest again. They claim that it's 80% complete, but there are a lot of tbds in there.

Also, anyone have any idea what the -Q and (GF) next to some of the names means?

Market District Shadyside is having an Ommegang and Duvel beer tasting now. Buy one and get a free glass.

I bought a Duvel, and Unibroue Terrible and Maudite.

For those who attended the summer beerfest, are the beers marked as VIP only available during the hour before the regular session begins, or is that beer still available afterwards (assuming it has not run out)?

Also, what's the deal with the "Quickee Station"?

I liked it but I'm a stout man (both litterally and beerily). The coffee flavor is strong but not prominent.

Please put the enjoy by and Oat in the mail for me. That should make your decision a little easier.

Unibroue's Terrible is very good. Tastes like coffee with a warm aftertaste. Kind of like cinnamon. Clove, maybe?

If you can find me, I have your first beer.

Unlike most Unibroue beers, that indeed sounds terrible. :pop:
