While I am sitting here bemoaning the end of summer – I have noticed that many others are taking the arrival of fall in stride because they are excited about 1 thing – all things pumpkin.  Apparently – yinz can’t wait for the pumpkin flavore to return to your lattes, muffins and of course beer.

For all of the pumpkin beer loving readers – here is an advanced notice of super pumpkin beer night at the Harris Grill. From their latest newsletter

Tuesday October 16th marks our 3rd annual Smashing Pumpkins punkin’ beer tap takeover.  As many pumpkin beers as we can get our hands on, and maybe even a pumpkin shot or two.  Also a Bacon Night! What’s not to love?

If you are new to Pittsburgh, or just didn’t know about this yet – every Tuesday is Bacon Night at the Harris Grill

.  So Tuesday, October 16 – they are doubling down – pumpkin beer and bacon.

If you are not serious about bacon, if you are a vegetarian, if you are vegan or you don’t eat meat – then you should probably stop reading right here.  The rest of this post is about bacon, lots of bacon.

This Saturday, September 17 – is the 2011 Bacon Bash.  Pittsburgh is home to one of the most established bacon bloggers in all of the land of bacon bloggers – Mr. Baconpants – he is serious about bacon.  I was honored to have the opportunity to sample some burgers with Mr. Baconpants and Bacon Knight earlier this summer (thanks to the folks at Chevy/GM northeast for organizing the bloggers burger event). I know very little about bacon and Mr. Baconpants helped bring me up to speed on the bacon basics.

Mr. Baconpants will be teaming up with the weekly bacon night hosts – The Harris Grill for a festival of bacon known as the Bacon Bash.  [IheartPGH Fun Fact – We <3 the Harris Grill – one of our first posts about bacon night at the Harris Grill led to our first mention in the Post-Gazette back in 2005, that was then they blogs were called web logs].

A Very Special Turkey Bacon Night

This just in from the good bacon loving folks at the Harris Grill. In honor of Thanksgiving this Wednesday (Nov. 25, 2009) will be Turkey Bacon Night – the turkey bacon starts at 8pm. Since you will probably be out and about visiting with those old high school prom dates and reliving memories that you probably would prefer to forget, you might as well be doing that with some bacon, in this case Turkey bacon. Because there are quite a few people out there that believe that bacon makes almost everything better.

Porcine Pardon Punishes Poultry

We’re letting our little pink pals off the hook for a very special pre-T-Day Bacon Night on Wednesday, November 25. That’s right: for the first time ever, Harris Grill will be ladling out the Turkey Bacon on Wednesday night just to get you in the mood. Bring your out of town guests in for a specialtreat starting at 8:00 pm, when we’ll also have the effervescent Miller Light Girills pushing lip-chilling aluminum pounders of Shadyside’s favorite get-the-job-done Lite beer.

Seeking Shelter from the Family?

And another important public service announcement for those of you who need to escape from your families after 12 fun filled hours of cooking, cleaning and turkey eating. The Harris Grill will open at 9pm on Thanksgiving evening to provide shelter and drinks for those who have had a little too much family fun! (the photo below came up when I typed “Thanksgiving Fun” into Flickr – yes, I think those are cats dressed up for Thanksgiving).

Once you’re tired of all the family squabbling, swing on over to the Grill where we’ll be opening the bar at 9:00 pm to help you forget about the day. Dad’s just never gonna understand that surface piercing, but we’ll help you get over that.

Bring your bartender a plate of leftovers and get a free shot of Imperial!
