From I like the Warhol museum for alot of reasons – I am not really sure if Andy Warhol would like the Warhol museum but that is anothr conversation.  If it weren’t for the warhol museum this blog wouldn’t exist.  After a trip to the Warhol on a rainy sunday afternoon – I decided to teach myself to screen print.  The first t-shirt I printed was an IheartPGH t-shirt.  A few year later, I had forgotten about t-shirts and was working on campaigns when we started the IheartPGH blog and brought back the t-shirt idea.  The t-shirts and the blog have been a good thing.  It was an IheartPGH reader that left a comment about Spreadshirt and I was happy to find a great source for IheartPGH T-shirts and now I work for Spreadshirt and when I am not writing about Pittsburgh, I am writing about t-shirts here.  I had no idea when I dragged friend of IheartPGH to the Warhol musuem back in 2003 that it would be so influential.

New Monthly Beer Tasting at The Warhol

Beer ChurchThis is a nice twist on an already great idea. Big Burrito has been hosting wine tastings at the Warhol for years. They are spicing things up a bit with new beer tastings. Even better they are kicking off this new event with the folks from Church Brew Works. My friends from New York City came to Pittsburgh last weekend – one of our many stops on Saturday was the Church Brew Works which they now call the beer church. I am a fan of the beerimisu event if our server said it wasn’t made with beer. Beer tasting and beer prizes – this is a great idea for happy hour!

Friday, March 14, 2008, 5:30 and 7:30 PM

Join The Warhol and big Burrito as we kick off a new series of Good Friday events.

On the second Friday of every month, a regional microbrewery will be presented by the brewers themselves or their distributors. The ticket price includes a smattering of beer snacks and full admission to the museum.

The beer tastings kick off on March 14. Meet the Church Brew Works Brewer Brant Dubovich and Tony “The Beerman” Knipling, Specialty Brand Manager of Vecenie Distributing. On exhibit for the evening will be Celestial Gold Pilsner, Pipe Organ Pale Ale, Pious Monk Dunkel and ThunderHop IPA. Church Brew Works prizes will also be given out to lucky participants.
