Craft beers paired with bacon and burgers? A new stout from Helltown, brewed for the city’s biggest comics store chain?<\/p>\n

That’s more than enough to get me to brave afternoon rush-hour traffic and make the trip to Cranberry to Pig Iron Public House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s start with Beeredeemable, a bourbon barrel aged Russian imperial stout brewed by Helltown<\/a> for New Dimension Comics<\/a> owner Todd McDevitt. Todd’s commissioned these beers before — last year’s version was another imperial stout called Darkest Dawn — but this is the first time he’s released the beer in conjunction with Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week, instead of waiting for his annual Three Rivers Comicon<\/a> in May.<\/p>\n

The beer is a beast — boozy and woody, with hints of bitter chocolate and a rich mouthfeel — and you still have several more chances to try it<\/a> before Beer Week is done on Sunday. Beware, though — Todd said each location is getting just a sixtel, so it won’t last long.<\/p>\n
