t wasn’t all that long ago when Pittsburgh was home to more Super Bowl trophies than craft breweries. Much has changed over the last 15 years, though. Now, more than 40 breweries dot Allegheny County’s unique landscape, churning out lots of great beer from a wide variety of visitworthy locations.
The array of options will serve those who want to schedule a beer-focused vacation, pair up a brewery visit with a concert, game or show, or stop for a quick pint before heading home from a business trip.

This website - a product of the Pittsburgh Brewers Guild - features helpful information on almost all Allegheny County breweries. You can find out which ones are bike friendly, kid friendly or dog friendly, and search for those that have food trucks or live music. It’s all there.
