Iron City Auctioning Off Brewery Equipment

Brookston Beer Bulletin (Free subscription) | yesterday

Originally, Iron City Brewing (f.k.a. Pittsburgh Brewing) claimed they were only closing the canning line, but it appears the whole kit and kaboodle is leaving Pittsburgh for the greener pastures of Latrobe. That’s another big loss of a historic brewery, one that’s been around since 1861. The Pittsburgh City Paper has a long, interesting article [...]

Star Trek’s Engineering Deck Brewery

Brookston Beer Bulletin (Free subscription) | yesterday

If you’re like me, you love what I call “brewery porn,” which is photos of brewing equipment either installed or by themselves. So when I watched the film reboot of Star Trek, I was convinced that portions of the movie — the engineering deck — were filmed inside a large brewery. Sitting in the darkened [...]

Beer In Ads #6: Biere d’Alsace

Brookston Beer Bulletin (Free subscription) | yesterday

The artist for today’s ad was born in the Alsace, in 1873, in what is today part of France. But two years before he was born, it belonged to the German Empire, who had annexed it after the Franco-Prussian War that began in 1870. Why is that relevant? Because Jean-Jacques Waltz, better known as “Hansi,” [...]

Here's the deal: The festivities will be from 2 o'clock - 5 o'clock on Saturday November 28th. Santa will be here along with Delco Nightingale playing classic Christmas favorites and DJ DNA.

Pittsburgh Postscript

Seen Through a Glass (Free subscription) | yesterday

The Pittsburgh trip I'm telling you about -- Red Star, Church, East End, Full Pint, an' 'at -- is, of course, not complete . It's because there are two huge holes in it: Iron City and Penn . I stopped and stared at the big, silent Iron City brewery Wednesday morning when I was visiting Church Brew Works: the huge graphics coming off the walls, the little sign still saying "Beer Gear Shop."...

Economy: Beer is “recession resistant”

The Brew Site (Free subscription) | yesterday

There was an interesting local article about beer and the economy this week: High Desert’s big beer biz: Bottoms up or bust? It includes some interesting and candid quotes from some of the beer folks here in Bend, including Deschutes Brewery’s Gary Fish and 10 Barrel’s Garrett Wales. “At Deschutes Brewery, our numbers are okay,”President and [...]

Whirlwind Tour Part 2 of 3 -- Wednesday

Seen Through a Glass (Free subscription) | yesterday

Picking up where I left off ... Wednesday morning I had another great breakfast at Pamela's (what can I say; it was close, it was delicious, it was reasonable, and it was served quickly) and made the short drive to Church Brew Works . Sean Casey was up on the roof -- literally, they're having the roof repaired, and he was up taking pix, some great ones of him sipping tripel with the skyline behind...

Monk’s Blood dinner

beer school (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

Paxton proves to be all that and more. the man can cook. we could have stopped right after the plate of meat & cheese and been totally happy for the rest of the night. but we didn't get to do that. instead the five senses of taste got uh-salted for the next 3 hours.

Bringing Homebrew To Work

Brew Dudes (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

When in the course of working events, beer brewing does come up in conversation. I found out one of my co-workers is a homebrewer and I told him I would bring some homebrew into work today. It’s definitely great to find someone where you spend most of your time that is interested in good beer and [...]
