Not Baseball

Earlier this week my brother called me and said he had tickets for game 4 of the Pens/Capitals series. Sounds good to me! We both decided to leave work early and make a day of it.

 My brother is a beer nerd like me so we used our time to stop at one of my favorite bars in the world. Fat Head's is a brewery based out of Ohio, but has restaurant/tap room in Pittsburgh.  Some of you that I've traded beer with were the recipients of some of their brews.

 This was a delicious double ipa called Marauder.
This sandwich had kielbasa and pierogis on it.  I regret nothing. It paired nicely with a wonderful hefeweizen.

 The paint bucket!  I don't know if anybody calls the arena that, but they should.
 Somehow we ended up at a bar in the arena that was giving away free shots of Jim Beam. That was not a good choice.
 A view from the seats.
 Penguins entrance.

This was my second ever playoff hockey game.  The Pens ended up winning 3-2 so it capped off a very awesome evening.

    1. It was a lot of fun. Nice to see a win for a change. I've been on a little bit of a Pens losing streak. That is saying something since they have been good the last 10 years.

  2. A day/night of beer, food and playoff hockey. You sure can't beat that. Go Bruins! Oops. Wrong black and gold team.

  4. I like that fathead logo. Only wish i had a more adventurous palate but I CAN enjoy the beer labels!! I've bought beer for the design/art more than once.

    1. The thing is now that most breweries have started improving the traditional styles like a lager and pilsner. It can be your gateway beer!

  5. I've been to a handful of Wild and Chicago games, but never the playoffs!

    Looks like an amazing experience, and a win to go with it.

    1. It would have been a good day either way, but a win was the cherry on top.
