If you missed Saturday's Steel City Big Pour -- well, I'm sorry, but you still can get a taste of it.

The beer fest fundraiser for Construction Junction in Point Breeze, which over two quickly-sold-out sessions raised some $60,000 for the nonprofit recycler of building materials, will continue to pour in a few places around town.

A few watering holes will be serving Rachel Carson's Eye Opener, the porter brewed for the Pour by East End Brewing Co., using La Prima coffee.

And perhaps you can buy a full growler, or jug, of it, using a Steel City Uni-Growler.

The new 64-ounce glass jugs, which went on sale at the fest for $5, can be filled and refilled with craft beer -- for about $15 for most -- at a dozen different locations: Bocktown Beer and Grill, D's Six Pax and Dogz, East End Brewing, Fat Heads Saloon, Harris Grill Piper's Pub, Point Brugge Cafe, Rivertowne Pour House, and the four Sharp Edges (Penn Brewery was to participate, too, but its restaurant currently is closed). Draft Eye Opener is available at East End's growler hours and should be at some of the other above outlets within a week or so, says East End's Scott Smith.

Construction Junction will continue to sell the growlers, which, like the Pour itself, will continue to support its mission of conservation and reuse. For more: constructionjunction.org. Get on its mailing list so you can get your tickets for next year.

A friend and I hit the evening session of this third annual Pour and it was near perfect: Packed with smiling people (about 1,500 per session, including those staffing the booths and the cadre of volunteers), all enjoying each other's company and 120-plus brews, plus foods from local restaurants and stores with live music and art and more.

Attendees voted the Three Rivers Alliance of Serious Homebrewers (TRASH) the "Best of the Fest" booth, followed by East End Brewing Co. and Fat Head's. East End and Bells Brewery proudly displayed their awards for "Brewer's Creative Reuse," which were creatively crafted from salvaged materials by artist Jennifer Bechak. Other booths exposed folks to causes including the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture. It left a positive buzz beyond all the good beer.

Speaking of the Sharp Edge, the Beer Emporium in Friendship/East Liberty is hosting the World Affairs Council "Pittsburgh G-20 Beer Summit" at 6 p.m. on Mon., Sept. 22. The $15/$18 tasting -- of six brews from some G-20 member countries -- quickly filled up (at 50, the response was "overwhelming," says council community relations director Susan Jackson Dunsey). But others are welcome to squeeze in for G-20 beer specials and global grooviness, and two of the brews will be on special. (The tasting are Cooper's Sparkling Ale from Australia, Ayinger Brau Weisse from Germany, Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale from England, DeKoninck Ale from Belgium, Baltika Porter from Russia, Tsingtao Lager from China).

The council says the tasting "aims to engage a younger audience -- young professionals and graduate students -- who are excited to celebrate our city's selection as the site of the upcoming summit." Next month, it'll hold a tasting featuring, what else, German beers (worldaffairs­pittsburgh.org).

How about taking a Fall Seasonal Beer Paddle? Venture Outdoors' Kayak Pittsburgh on the Allegheny River on the North Side is the departure point for this easy cruise around Downtown and post-paddle beer tasting, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. The trip description notes, "We'll distinguish between the pumpkin, Oktoberfest, porters and stouts as we watch the sun go down behind the city." Cost is $40 for nonmembers, $30 for members. For more, info@ventureoutdoors.org or 412-255-0564.

The last Beer Passport night at PNC Park this Pirates season is Friday, Sept. 25 as the team plays the Dodgers at 7:05 p.m.

Pay $35 for a club-level seat and they throw in unlimited pre-game sampling of craft beer in Club 3000 plus $5 concession credit. Reps will be there from the Church Brew Works and East End Brewing. It's Paul Maholm Bobblehead Night to boot. You must order tix at least 48 hours in advance; questions, call 412-325-4906 or e-mail Geoff.Nilsen@pirates.com.

Saturday, Sept. 26, is a big beer day.

The Pines Tavern in Pine is holding its "Fall Harvest Beer Festival" from 2 to 4 p.m. You can enjoy a buffet of seasonal brews -- from J.K. Scrumpy's Hard Apple Cider to O'Fallon's Pumpkin to Coney Island Freaktoberfest and many others. They'll be served with a buffet of foods, from Grilled Seasonal Sausages and Wurst to Roasted Acorn Squash Hash with Sweet Onions, Maple Bacon and Dried Cranberries to Apple Dumplings with Warm Caramel Sauce. Cost is $39 per person (plus tax and tip); reserve at 724-625-3252 (thepinestavern.com).

Also Sept. 26 is the fourth Annual Brewfest in Slippery Rock, sponsored by North Country Brewing Co. The fundraiser for Slippery Rock Development (it raised $8,000 for the downtown last year) costs $15 for each of three sampling sessions: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Other participating brewers include East End, Main Street Grille, Voodoo, Blue Canoe, Rivertowne Pourhouse, Sprague Farm, Church Brew Works, Erie, Red Star and Marzoni's Brick Oven, plus Narcissi Wines and Slippery Rock Cigars. Says North Country's Bob McCafferty, "Brewfest is the only reason why there is mulch in the plant beds at Slippery Rock." Also going on that day is family-friendly Village­Fest. Only a limited amount of Brewfest tickets will be available that day; get them in advance at North Country (northcountrybrewing.com or 724-794-BEER).
