Valhalla brew pub closed this weekend. Poor business climate was cited. A
new convention center was justed opened down the street,but it seems as if
the "strip" district of Pittsburgh is not doing so well.

Well that sucks. I used to enjoy going there for dinner. Can't say I was
knocked out by the "regular" beers, but the specialty / seasonal brews were
usually pretty good. Jeez we're down to Penn Brewing and Church Brewworks [...]

Be happy. At least Church Brewworks will be bottling their beers, so
if you like 'em, they'll be more easily found. Otherwise, times are
tough everywhere. A favorite Seattle watering hole in trendy Belltown,
just north of downtown Seattle, has shut down due to lease renewal
issues. It'll be replaced by some trendoid joint, and will give the
likes of me one less reason to go to that part of town. C'est la vie.
