Another TRASH homebrew competition is well underway. So far everything has gone very smoothly.

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

@shadow @thejqs Good to know. Thanks for the pointer.

@thejqs @shadow We’ll see how back in the game I am, but this felt like a notable destination. Super impressed by the ridiculous heat of their stone crocks (though the flavor of the same dish at Mokban down the street was somewhat superior). It’s been a Korean food kind of week.

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

Fairly impressed. Made a second stop at a Korean restaurant while traveling for Homebrew Con. They brought me a raw egg to go with my piping hot soft tofu soup. Highly recommended. (DENDEN Cafe Asiana in Providence.)

The judges and other volunteers are hard at work at this year’s @TRASHBrewers homebrew competition. Thanks to @heliconbrewing for hosting us!

@HomebrewAssoc I've had a great time at #HomebrewCon, but the vegetarian banquet menu needs to actually consider vegetarians. Crab paella?

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

Best of show judging at the @WigleWhiskey home brewers competition.

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

Bell's Two Hearted. Surprisingly good from a firkin (not that it was anything less otherwise). #RAF15

The beer industry market share infographic in this article is really interesting. http://t.co/P7us9mdrcn

@loosgroov It can sometimes originate from some type of infection, but that also seems unlikely for something from New Belgium.

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

@loosgroov Dimethyl Sulfide. It's usually caused by a weak boil, covered boil, or slow chill at the end of a boil. http://t.co/QSsjqP72vn

Great to see @PghTacoTruck getting some coverage in Pittsburgh Magazine. http://t.co/EEJZDzs8p0

I absolutely love that when a group of homebrewers get together, they opt for an ESB with fuggles. #aharally

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

I guess I can't complain. RT @PghBizTimes: BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse will make its regional debut in McCandless: http://t.co/Ff6G4qtGJp

Homebrew club meeting.

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

@foodcollage Nice. I've really only considered what my pies actually taste like.

[Mike Beattie @mikebeattie]

Dingle Pie. A dry run for the non-veg component of my St Patrick's Day festivities. @foodcollage

I didn't know @ho1kb was under new ownership. Also, it looks like they might open a location in the North Hills. http://t.co/PVKJygOwto
