1. Go Stillers.
Celebrate with an Arn City or two.

3. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, and Ahrn is even beneath me.

I'll take a Penn Dark instead!

13. But only in the green bottles. It's perfection.
Straub in the brown bottles is skunk beer.

17. You got that backwards....
Brown bottles block light. Green lets light in.

"Skunk" in beer is a photosensitive reaction.

Eh, just drink it from the Eternal Tap! :D

20. No alhedges.
In my world, the only skunky Straub is in the brown bottles. I know about the whole block the light thing, but the green does not get skunky.

Now Rolling Rock is in green bottles, and it does get skunky.

23. Yea!!!
They still put out Olde Frothingslosh (the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom)!! Actually, I always hated Iron City Beer but I liked the Olde Frothingslosh label. Of course in those days it only came in bottles.

Do they still do the beer distributor thing in P'burgh? Does the PA LCB still run the liquor industry in the red? Or have they finally privatized it?

25. Yep...the LCB still exists.
I went to my alma mater (clarion University) for homecoming last weekend, and you still can't buy beer in regular stores. That's one thing I don't miss about PA.

18. I noticed they've tried to look "hip" recently
With the new logo and stuff. Last time I tried it, it was actually better than I remembered, but it's still scat.

10. The kid can play football!
Rothlesberger is the real deal. Just think, Brownies, you passed him up in order to get Winslow. Go Stillers!

16. Hopefully he doesn't blow it like Stewart, O'Donnell and Maddox all did.
Having one stellar season only to fall to pieces afterwards. Seems to be the trend in the Burgh.

As for the beer.....when we went home to PA to get married, we had cases and cases of Straub (what else?) at the reception. Take a slug for me. :toast:

22. Great Lakes.
Edited on Sun Oct-10-04 03:47 PM by Beware the Beast Man
It's the local microbrew, and it's excellent. I prefer the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter or the Cleveland Brown Ale.

on edit- here's the link:

I haven't tried the Willoughby Brewing Company, but they have an award-winning raspberry wheat that I hear is great too.

And is Western Reserve still around?
