NN is on tap at Carnivores in Oakmont. I had it for the first time there last week. So yummy.

I picked up the last case of it here last weekend. I've called several times but it sounds like we aren't getting anymore.

Do any of the bars near the Consol Center have center ice? I'm hoping to catch the Rangers-Caps game after Pens-Flyers.

I bought a 6 of "Hades" made by Great Divide Brewing Co. out of Colorado last weekend. Belgian style ale with a hint of a pepper type hot spice.

Great reviews by beeradvocate and would def. buy it again. It was $10.99, 7.8% alcohol.

Had a Furious Five from Double Mountain. An exceptional barrel aged, brown ale. That combined with their Peche Mode and Ranier Kriek might have supplanted Full Sail as the best brewery in Hood River. At least in my mind.

Don't waste your money. 120 is almost undrinkable. Since you're in State College I suggest going to Otto's and getting some bombers of their DD Imperial IPA. Excellent and cheap as well at about $4 a 22oz bottle.

Resin, a new Double IPA from 6 Point just coming into the market. Really good and picked up a case at Vecenie's for $40. I suspect at a place like McBroom's it would be in the $45 range.

Beer at night gives you a swollen face in the morning, which certainly won't please your employer.

A few weeks ago we had a party here so I hid my case of NN... with business from school and traveling, I forgot about it til now.

Needless to say, I'm good and ready for the playoffs. And drunk.

I've got a six pack of NN left. If tonight's game is any indication of how Friday's will be played, it will be gone for sure.

Can't go wrong with Bear Republic. Racer 5 and Red Rocket are fantastic.

I made a trip to Deschutes this weekend. Obsidian Stout on nitro is never a bad thing.

I know what I'd be doing if I were the police... This is the only reason I regret leaving the South Side. Well that and property taxes...

Can anyone tell me where I can pick up some of thie Nugget Nectar? I'm an NN virgin and from what it seems like, this stuff needs to be hoarded when bought or you'll be **** out of luck.

Someone please please please direct me to any 6 pack shop / distributor that carries this. I'll mail you a bottle.

Pretty sure you're SOL this season. There was an initial shipment and a 2nd shippment and I think that's it. The Mad Mex in South Hills just ran out while I was there on Wednesday. I have a case left in my basement, but you can't have any, sorry.

****!!!! I live like 5 minutes from the Mad Mex you're talking about.

When you mean "this season", do you mean for the entire year or until another shipment they make in the Fall or something? Do they sell this at the Troeg's Brewery year round? And one more thing, the next time they make a shipment, can you alert me by PM please? That's all. No more questions from me.

It's seasonal, so I think that might be it for the year. This is me surmizing that though, I don't have any inside information. It comes out mid March, you can check Troeg's site next year around that time. No offense, but there is no way I'm remembering to PM you 11 months from now. You could still try the six pack shops, I know they don't have it at Giant Eagle. They had it a Brew Brothers on MtL Blvd two weeks ago, I loath the owner of that place though.

6 beers from Founders on tap at Madmex Robinson tonight including KBS. Think I might be watching the game there or at least making a stop.

It's cool. I thought it was released every few months or so.

I'm at work now, but I'm calling up a bunch of places when I get out. Ha, what's with the Brew Brothers' owner? Anyways, I'll probably have to hit up some smaller bottle shops, as I can't see places like The Bottle Shop (Bridgeville), Barley and Hops (South Park), or Packs and Dogs (Mt Washington) carrying this if it's been out for a while. I usually don't get 6 packs to go. I think the last time I stepped foot in a bottle shop within the past year or so was for the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale back in October.

Thanks for the heads up though.

NP, good luck. There's Bocktown in Robinson and there's a bottle shop on 88 near South Park as well, not sure of the name though.
