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.

Brew Links: Week of 9/28
Just thought I'd pass along a few interesting beer-related links I found over the past week or so. Here's a quick round-up of what I found.
The craft pub I'm always raving about is planning a pumpkin beer festival on an empty lot beside the bar in Homestead. Aside from the place being amazing, its web presence isn't exactly the best out there (it's not like it really needs some anyway). So, the best piece of information in terms of this festival is the Facebook Event they created.
Full Pint Brewing in North Versailles announced via its Twitter account that a new pumpkin beer would be tapped at the brewery this weekend as well as finding its way to outside parties within the next week. It's looking like this is a draft-only.
The Carson Street Deli's planned renovations are looking to now be under way. From what I can find, The Deli intends to not only give the place a new look, but to up the tap list to 20 brews, including 12 Pittsburgh beers.
This was news a few months ago, but it's started to poke through in the national media yesterday. The Rogue beer that's to be made with yeast from the brewmaster's beard is being talked about once again. I'm assuming they're getting closer to actually starting work on this? Interesting.
