| - The third visit would be my last. They can send me their BS PR response or the like, or flag this review to Big Daddy Yelp like insecure business owners, but the following statements will still reign true.
This place, with their weird Upper Saint Clair meets the hood vibe, does not serve 16oz pours like many breweries, but caps out at 12 despite having the audacity to charge $6 for 12 oz of a pale ale or equivalent, and $7 for 12 oz of a double IPA. This translates to the following pricing structure:
$8 for 16oz pale, and $9.33 for a 16oz Double IPA, if they actually served these volumes. Does that sound reasonable to you? Compare that with a place like Dancing Gnome that provided 16 oz pours of all of their beers for $6, even their doubles that have similar ABV%. I'm not cool wasting hard-earned bread on overpriced, yet fairly standard beer.
During my last visit, I brought in a plastic growler from my favorite CO brewery, and the BG staff refused to fill it, instead offering me one of their glass growlers. I would never consider that exchange. The CO brewery is quite knowledgeable on their decision to use plastic growlers, since many people, in CO fashion, bike to the brewery. I've had their beer in this growler for nearly two weeks, and it still tasted just as awesome as it did right from the tap. They did their homework and would not even ponder ruining their beer in a deleterious growler. The BG staff, however, claims it would ruin the integrity of their beer. This would be my problem, would it not, since I would be the one paying for and drinking it? Other breweries I have been to have scoffed at this foolish pretentiousness, and gladly accept my money.
