Happy Father’s Day Everyone!

Happy Father’s Day

I hope everyone gets to spend some quality time with their father or a father figure in their life.  I happened to find a good one for my daughter.  Ben loves to be able to be the one to tuck Scarlet into bed each night and tell her how much he loves her. 

I grew up with a dad that worked hard to provide for the family and made sure to tell me I was loved.  He taught me how to ride a bike and how to drive a car.  Most importantly he taught me not to take crap from anyone.  He spent endless hours teaching me how to pitch in softball and practice soccer.  It’s a shame that man doesn’t exist anymore.

Ben wasn’t quite ready for the picture, but still. Happy Father’s Day from the Full Pint and the Half Pint

Breakfast Brunch

When I thought of what I wanted to do for Ben, besides a present, I immediately thought we’d take him out for breakfast.  It’s our favorite meal to eat out.  My very first thought was it must be Sunday Brunch at YAH Brew. 

Before even getting there, I knew we’d order the Breakfast Tots.  I’ve been dreaming of them since last visit (It Was All a Dream – Our Visit to YAH Brew)  but I still wanted to try something else.  Bacon breakfast tacos were a solid choice.  Neither one of these disappointed us and we enjoyed every morsel. 

Country Club Brewing’s “The Easton Assassin” and YAH Brew’s “Pup Pup Pass” (…and Scarlet’s Formula)

Both of these brunch choices perfectly complimented the Pup pup pass, a fruited sour inspired by the “liquid marijuana” cocktail, and the Country Club The Easton Assassin, an Imperial Stout.   The Pup pup pass is an 8% fruited sour that is deceiving with it’s very clear hue and the powerful fruit taste socks your tastebuds.  Also, conditioning on the rum soaked barrels gives it a bit of a boozy flavor. 

After we licked our fingers from the yummy brunch, we decided to finish by splitting an IPA together.  Mom’s Spaghetti is a 5.8% Mid west style IPA.  It has a bit of green to the taste but it is every bit of your delicious Hazy IPA we all have been enjoying nonstop.  YAH Brew is always an excellent choice for a Sunday Brunch but it was even better to be able to celebrate Scarlet’s first Father’s Day with Ben!

A Great Father’s Day

We had to peace out quick to get ready for a family BBQ.  We got to celebrate Ben’s dad and Ben’s brother-in-law for Father’s Day!  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there!

Best Brunch Ever (Beer Festival – May 14th, 2022) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2022/05/12/best-brunch-ever-beer-festival-may-14th-2022/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=best-brunch-ever-beer-festival-may-14th-2022 Thu, 12 May 2022 17:30:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=9250
Best Brunch Ever by Fueled by Hops

The Best Brunch Ever

Think about the perfect brunch… picture it in your head. Do you have it? Well, you’re wrong. Because THIS…. THIS here, is the Best Brunch Ever. From the brainchild of Fueled by Hops that brought you the beer festival all about cookies, comes the beer festival all about brunch. Ryan Galiotto is the head of Fueled by Hops a Pittsburgh based (online) beer community. If you love brunch, and brunch themed beers, and everything to do with brunching, this one hundred percent seems the beer festival / brew fest for you.

Fueled by Hops

Fueled by Hops was originally a Facebook group community started by Ryan Galiotto, and has expanded from there. From their “About Us” page on their site:

Fueled by Hops. was founded in March 2019 by Ryan Galiotto at his living room coffee table (which doesn’t exist anymore, FYI). 

What started out as a Facebook group with 8 members has quickly grown to become:

Podcast:  Ryan’s Story into Craft Beer

They are certainly a big and growing community in the PA beer scene, specifically and especially in the Pittsburgh area.

A Brunchy Good Time

This brewfest looks amazing, and absolutely likes a blast for all to attend.

You can see the guys talking about it on their live podcast from their Facebook page last night here: The Unfueled Show – The Best Brunch Ever.

Their event page overview:

“This Spring, we’re coming back with another beer festival to help you shake off the winter blues. On May 14, we’re taking over the warehouse at Hop Farm Brewing in Lawrenceville (Pittsburgh) and hosting a beer festival to celebrate brunch beers and bacon (lots and lots of bacon!)More details to follow! Tickets on sale soon!”

Best Brunch Ever (Event Page)

Just a few hours ago on the Fueled by Hops Facebook group page, Ryan made this post:

For you all coming to Best Brunch Ever, I want to take a second to tell you how your ticket purchase has impacted the local community.

First, a big chunk of everything we’ve sourced for this event was purchased locally from small businesses. This is becoming increasingly more challenging, but we always try to buy local first.

Our printing and signage was handled by PGH Print Ship in Etna. The folks are TOP NOTCH for printing services. All of our ice was purchased from Mastro Ice near Greenfield (I believe that’s the neighborhood at least). We worked with all small, local breweries and businesses in creating the collab beers for this event. We hope that these beers continue to be sold in taprooms beyond the event and drive business to the local establishments involved.

Without getting too deep in the weeds on comp, I can say that we are paying what I believe to be the highest rates in the industry to the breweries coming to help offset their expenses. We do not ask for donations. We do not try to get lower prices. We believe breweries should be fairly compensated for their product.

We chose all small, local restaurants to serve food at the event. While we had the opportunity to include bigger names, we opted to think small.And lastly, our event workers are all paid, not volunteers. With that said, this is going to be one heck of an event. Be on the lookout for more surprises and event announcements over the next few days. We’re no where near done surprising you.Cheers, yinz!

Thanks For Reading

This looks like an absolutely insanely fun brewfest. They have two sessions. Unfortunately its in Pittsburgh (a five hour drive for me) and is on the same day as my 5K in Hummelstown for their food pantry – The Hummelstown Hunger Run. So I won’t be able to attend.

If anyone is attending, let me know in the comments how it was. Can’t wait to hear from you all! Thanks for reading!

Cheers!
