Cold Hearted Love

Just in time for Valentine’s Day the Should I Drink that Team has put together some thoughts on some lovely beers with miserable names.

Check out their latest podcast – Love Stinks – where they review the following beers – Rogue’s Brutal Bitter, Erie Brewing Misery Bay IPA, Bells Two Hearted Ale

If you haven’t had a chance to visit & listen to Should I Drink That – you should – Sick Puppy and Father Spoon (who are really great people – don’t let the serious names deter you) have an award winning podcast about all things beer and they live right here in Pittsburgh so they visit many local watering holes.

Click here to see my other post about SIDT and see a rare photo of me and Sick Puppy.

Nightcrawler

It’s time for another Gallery Crawl in the Cultural District! Friday night – everything stays open late. Art, food, drinks and lots of people.

Check out the Gallery Crawl Map here.

When you are good and cold crawl over to Olive or Twist for Nightcrawler. Other Pittsburgh websites agree (Jason and Sarah) this is a darn good idea – Nightcrawler is a mega gallery crawl after party. $5 gets you access to 2 floors of fun, 10 DJs including the amazing Pittsburgh Rapper, Kellee Maize.

Tom and Mike Drink Iron City

Tom and Mike Drink Iron City all around Pittsburgh and write about it about DrinkIronCity.com. Just wanted to share this great little site about Iron City Beer with Pittsburgh. This is a blog that is dedicated to “supporting Iron City.” Tom and Mike write about different places to drink and to buy Iron City Beer.
They are currently looking into ways to ship Iron City Beer to others who have left Pittsburgh because they have so many requests.
And for the holidays they are collecting pictures of Iron City Holiday Decorations.

Help A Pittsburgh Blogger Support MDA

Doug Derda, more commonly known around the Pittsburgh blogosphere as Father Spoon from Should I Drink That is working to beat his fundraising goal from last year for the MDA. Should I Drink That is an excellent podcast that is popular here in Pittsburgh and with beer drinking fans beyond Pittsburgh. The Should I Drink That guys have done a great job with their podcast and they do a great job supporting local businesses.
I have had the opportunity to get to know Father Spoon and Sick Puppy from PodCamp and from some of the beer festivals around Pittsburgh. I think they are awesome podcasters and Pittsburghers and I happy to help Doug support the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Doug is trying to raise $2000 by the end of November (yes, today). I hope you will visit his fundraising page and make a contribution.

Even if you can make a $5 or $10 contribution, please contribute and help spread the word.
