Thoughts on the Pittsburgh microbrew elite 8?


















1. Never heard of basically the entire left side of this bracket. Pittsburgh beer microbreweries are a rich tapestry...

B. The two/8 on the left side that I have heard of, Rivertowne & Penn Brewery, never struck me as anything special and have some objectively bad beers on tap. I support their round 1 losses..

3. East End Brewing > Church Brew Works feels like a mistake. The 'burgh loves repurposing churches for more fun uses than church..

G. North Country Brewing > Full Pint feels right. I wouldn't even know what Full Pint was if not for their 'Pittsburgh Dad' beer. As a citizen of the Pgh metro area I am obligated to have a negative opinion of all things Pittsburgh Dad...

7. I hope Voodoo or Grist House wins. I understand that the results of a promotional popular beer bracket sponsored by Giant Eagle doesn't really matter; at the same time Voodoo is my favorite beermaker on the list and Grist House is an uber cool dog-friendly Millvale bar that I'd like to visit again

Q. Beer and all alcoholic beverages are basically a means to an end. Ranking and judging specific brands and makers of beer is a fool's errand. There is basically no reason to not drink the cheapest beer/liquor at a bar. But that's none of my business tho
