The news for the Sam Calagione/Dogfish head Craft brewery sitcom on FOX came out more than a month ago, but last night I had an entertaining thought. What if it were a Pittsburgh brewer or brewery that was lucky enough to have such an opportunity? Which one would it be? Which one would you like to see depicted?
The choice was easy in my mind. It'd have to be Full Pint Brewing in North Versailles. There are multiple brewers that run the place. Each of them are awesome characters in their own right. They're sometimes hanging out in the tap room if you've ever visited the place just off of Route 30. The television networks would be able to put together one hell of a cast. Sometimes they've modeled themselves as characters on their own beer labels. Just an entertaining group.
The Full Pint story is an interesting one as well. Five brewers basically going "All In" to start a brewery. One of their first brews even took on that name. Full Pint has already taken a dip into Pittsburgh pop culture by releasing the new 3-2-1 Win Beer with Pittsburgh Dad on it.
I realize that this is unlikely because not many brewers around here have yet to secure such national acclaim as Dogfish has. Still, it's special that in some way we're all close to the people that make our beer here in Western, Pa.
