Breweries are appearing in Pittsburgh at a much faster rate than I'm able to visit them, so despite Brew Gentlemen (in Braddock) being one of the first-wave local taprooms that's been around for more than three years, I hadn't made my way out there until just yesterday. They brew all types of beers, but their signature style is the unfiltered IPA. I sampled two of those yesterday, including their staple General Braddock's IPA, as well as an unfiltered pale ale. All three were excellent, and they shared an earthy, grassy profile more common in English style IPAs than the floral and citric American styles that are so pervasive in local breweries today.

When it's 77 degrees in February, you have to spend the day outside. Kristin and I took a long walk to Smoke after work to soak up the summer weather.
