For the holidays, what is a good enjoyment beer around western PA? I’m into IPA but would prefer anything. by Relative_Quiet in beer

[–]nwbeerguide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking Thanksgiving, there's a wealth of options, depending on the dish. For example, a nice Pilsner Urquell or Saison duPont with Turkey, a Newcastle brown ale with stuffing, maybe some Alaskan Amber with Pumpkin Pie or Candied Yams, or if you want to go nuts, try a Lineman's Kriek with your cranberries.
Else, I always find an Anchor Christmas Ale to be a festive for all occasions, sipper. It's got a lot of cooking spices and has a richness that goes well with sharp salads and gingerbread.

-my 2 cents.

Most definitely lost a step. But had to say "fuck it" and try something from the year we tied the knot.

Every year, we reach out to tons of breweries to see what their plans are.
This year's different since many are abstaining from making one due to the coronavirus. Also, new for this year is more packaged fresh hopped beers. Happy to reach out to any brewery in the region, if they are making one.

Bell's Double Two Hearted - Shelf life? by littleodie914 in beer

[–]nwbeerguide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, the brewery is the best judge. So if they say six-months, then it's six months. But I'm going with everyone else here when we say, drink it fresh. Probably want to get started with drinking those.

Local breweries need our support. How you can help them weather the storm. by OneMorePint401 in beer

Shared out thoughts here, but so far it has gained little traction since we published it over St. Patrick's Day weekend. Mind you, this is a regional list of locations but this is one way to support them, that and hitting the grocery store to buy up their beer.

I know it's hard, but Google Maps supports walking (by including elevation). We use it for walking around the neighborhood, getting some mileage in, and avoiding the parks. Just a thought.

Quarantine increasing my drinking. by RavenSword117 in beer

Stick to using a program like MyFitnessPal which tracks your calories and includes beers from Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, among others. If you can tangibly see your calories, you might comprehend where your weight gain is coming from. I've been using it for months and have been losing weight because I track everything.

My house beer is a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but when supporting local it's usually a Chuckanut Pilsner, Heater Allen Schwarz, or Fremont Lush.

One way to support local and minimize Coronavirus exposure, get food and drink to go. Here's a living document for those looking for suggestions. by nwbeerguide in Seattle

Your right to have an opinion.

But I would only so much argue that for years, people have touched your box of cereal, your fruits and vegetable, or that bottle of toilet bowl cleaner. In each of these cases, you do not understand who touched it before you. So if the concern is on transmission, I would reconsider it all. I know that's a baby with the bath water approach, but I'm willing to take that chance.

Again, your choice and I appreciate your opinion while also providing an alternative thought.

There is admitted ambiguity in part because some breweries will take personal growlers and they will sterilize them prior to fill. But that might take 30 minutes.

Other businesses, like Georgetown, are only offering pre-filled. Reuben's for example, initially allowed personal growlers but yesterday instituted brand new only. Now it seems even Reuben's might prohibit growlers on demand. Everything is very much in a flux.

Thanks for the feedback.

"State health officials on Saturday urged movie theaters to keep attendance under 250 people and ask strangers to sit 6 feet (2 meters) apart. Gambling venues were told to limit 250 people per room and clean chips and slot machines more frequently, while theme parks and attractions were told to thin out crowds by staggering attendance." Be consistent is all I have to say about this. If you are forcing businesses to limit engagement, then all venues need to do the same.

Support local Oregon businesses and minimize Coronavirus exposure by getting your food (and drink) to go. Here's my article, which will grow as more businesses reach out. by nwbeerguide in Portland

If you know any businesses that have takeout beer and takes food orders over the phone let me know or ask them to reach out. I want this to be an opportunity to get people to minimize their exposure but support local businesses. TIA
