YOU FOUND US...Pittsburgh's MICRO-est microbrewery! If you're new around here, this site should get up to speed in no time - and you can always come visit during our "Growler Hours", and I can pour you a taste to make up for some of that lost time. Hope to see you soon! Cheers, Scott

In addition to the year-rounders of Big Hop IPA, Black Strap Stout, Monkey Boy Hefeweizen, and Fat Gary Nut Brown, we're pouring seasonals Pedal Pale Ale and East End Witte this week.  But our 2 current Session Ales: LOAF and Dark Mild are about gone.

When they kick, they'll be replaced by a couple of "last kegs" that resurfaced here - Monkey Girl Hefeweizen and Snow Melt Winter Ale... just in time for the 4th of July.

Plus, our current lineup of BIG BOTTLES which includes Smokestack Heritage Porter, Toaster Imperial Stout, The Ugly American,  the last couple bottles of Homewood Reserve 2009, and BOTH 2007 and 2008 Gratitude Barleywine.

We're open all weekend - seriously, what Independent Brewery in their right mind would be closed in Independence Day?

See you soon!

Cheers - Scott

I've been meaning to get some EEBC stickers printed up for a long, long time here, but it never seems to get to the top of my list.  Sure I
have some ideas on brewery stickers I'd like to see, but I figure
there's lots more graphical creativity out there than I can muster (from the look of this post, that should be obvious!), so
why not provide a forum for your art, wit, and creativity?

• We're talking 2 color images here (most likely black and white)
• Any image size is fine (though we may need to adjust come printing time)
• There's no limit to the number of entries you can make. 
• Your image/text must be at least rated PG, so keep it clean, or at least thinly veiled. 

Finalists will be picked by me, and if there's enough entries, we'll
have YOU, the newsletter-reading public vote on your favorite from that
group in
an upcoming newsletter.  All winners (there will be a few) not only get
some free stickers, but some beer too...of course. 

(Note: I haven't really thought through how much beer will be your reward, or in what form it might take, so let's just see how it goes...But at least a growler, okay?)

Submit your entries
here by posting a comment on this blog entry.  You may not be able to post an image directly (still sorting this out), so post a link and I'll put it up myself.  I think you'll need to create a login to make a comment.

Thanks for contributing, and good luck!

Cheers,

Scott

On tap for growler fills, we have:
Big Hop IPA
Black Strap Stout
Monkey Boy Hefeweizen
Fat Gary Nut Brown Ale
Pedal Pale Ale
Session Ales #24: Loaf, our Dark Rye Kvass, and #25: Dark Mild, our Dark Mild (duh).
In Big Bottles, we also have the 4 beers from last week...see below.
Hope to see you soon! Cheers-Scott

We'll see how the current stock holds up, but we're likely to kick the last keg of Wee Heavy this weekend, and replace that with Session Ale #24: LOAF - our Dark Rye Bread-beer.  Also in short supply is Fat Gary Nut Brown Ale which if runs out will make way for Sesison Ale #25: Dark Mild, a beer that Fat Gary fans should also enjoy.

Plus, there's there regular lineup of Big Hop IPA, Black Strap Stout, Monkey Boy Hefeweizen, Spring Seasonal: East End Witte,  Summer Seasonal Pedal Pale Ale, and one-off Session Ale #23: Monkey GIRL Dunkelweizen.

Oh, and those 4 BIG BOTTLES from last time too...Toaster 4th Anniversary Imperial Stout, Smokestack Heritage Porter, The Ugly American (last few cases) and our extremely small-run of 2009 Homewood Reserve (couple cases of this one too).

Whew!  Have a great weekend. Cheers - Scott

A new beer hits the taps today - we've got Big Hop IPA, Black Strap Stout, Monkey Buy Hefeweizen, Fat Gary Nut Brown Ale, East End Witte, Session Ale #23 Monkey Girl Dunkelweizen, Scottish Wee-Heavy and just back from the MASSIVE KEG RIDE (500 riders!), it's Pedal Pale Ale!

Plus, we've got a whopping FIVE BIG BEERS in FIVE BIG BOTTLES: Toaster 4th Anniversary Imperial Stout, Smokestack Heritage Porter, The Ugly American (last cases winding down) and our extremely small-run of 2009 Homewood Reserve (just a couple cases of this one left too).

Have a great Holiday weekend! Cheers - Scott

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Keg Ride last night, and a special thank you to Over The Bar Bicycle Cafe on the S. Side who was our mystery destination this year.  (Maybe you guessed that?)

While we don't have more than an estimate right now, I can safely say that the DOUBLING EFFECT continued, and the turnout was in the range of 450-500 riders.  W O W .

What an evening of great fun, great weather (how about that sunset coming over the Hot Metal Bridge?), and great people.  Beer was okay too I guess... Thanks everyone for making it our best event of the year.

Now, send in those photo links!  And check out what I've gotten so far, posted here.

Already dreaming of next year's route, Cheers -Scott

As the guys at Bike-Pgh say, here's your chance to bike FROM work...

Keg Ride details are all here, we just need you and a couple hundred of your closest GOOD FRIENDS!

See you this evening.

Cheers - Scott
