40 Best Craft Breweries near Pleasant Hills

“Obsessed is an understatement! We used Truss Brewing Company to cater a small event and it did not disappoint! From their customer service to their spread… everything was top notch!“

“C’était vraiment bien! Nous avons appris beaucoup sur la bière!! Très belle dégustation“

“They have so many beers to choose from that I felt like a kid in a toy store, but with the major advantage that here nobody judges you for starting to drink at two in the afternoon. My absolute favorite was the Gristly Bear Brown followed closely by the Porter, though with such a huge variety there are options for every taste and level of thirst. Since trying them all at once is a one-way ticket to talking to aliens, getting a flight is the best scientific strategy. The cocktails, on the other hand, are better left alone unless you want to put your tolerance for liquid regret to the test. Outside they have a lifesaver food truck just in case hunger strikes and you need to absorb the alcohol with some dignity. They accept card payments, but if you pay in cash they give you a discount that makes it totally worth digging through your couch cushions.“

“Awesome place! There hasn’t been a flavor that I didn’t like. Always excited to see the flavor drops each week! Highly recommend!“

“Great community vibe and fabulous alcohol and NA cocktails!“

“nice folks ..solid IPA...“

“Amazing staff Dale The best bartender. Atmosphere modern urban. Parking limited. But service and staffing makes this place. Stop in!!!!! This is a must hit location. Beer is phenomenal.“

“I frequent this restaurant often. I came in last week and requested a few items substituted on my salad due to dietary restrictions. Toi ensured that my food came out correctly and didn’t make it seem like I was asking for too much (unlike serves in the past)! Now that’s GREAT service! She also is hilarious and she is a ball of energy! I will be back soon, and I only want Toi as a server moving forward! Thank you again, Toi!“

“I never knew this place existed and happened to come in after tasting their Red Ale at a local restaurant. Wow! We sampled 4 beers, had a couple of pints, and was astonished at the quality of the beer. Why haven't we heard of Fire Whistle before?! We will be back. Do yourself a favor and try their beers... all right here, under-the-radar, and basically un-recognized in Elizabeth!“

“Solid spot with a loyal local crowd, live music, and deep roots. Great vibe, good drinks. Highly recommend.“

“Cool little brewery with a nice atmosphere. Lots of eye candy on the walls to read. There is also a nice game wall with some old retro games, which was super fun. Nice beer selection and different styles available. They advertise local restaurants you can order from, and they had some small snacks behind the bar.“

“Great beer, great cocktails, great food. Love the vibe at Golden Age ❤️❤️❤️“

“Back Alley Brewing is a very nice little brewery. We hosted my wife's 40th birthday party there and it was the perfect space for about 30 people. I think you could have up to 40 somewhat comfortably. The beers were really good. I'm not an IPA guy so I had the coffee stout and the lager; both very good! I highly recommend this place to have a few beers or to have a get-together.“

“This brewery has it figured out! A great selection of wonderful beers, a relaxed, open environment, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. I’ll be going back again soon!“

“We were there for Parade day. It was absolutely wonderful!!
I think they could have make more money or create an even better experience if they had servers . The line for beer was just way to long. Because of the line. We only had 2 beers and normally we have many more than that. Still, we had a wonderful time and the crowd was so polite .“

“Nice environment for events & pretty large facility.“

“The Two Frays beer tasting was the best event our property has had to date. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed the delicious beer and good company!“

“Fantastic IPAs. Nice decor and very knowledgeable servers. Thank you!“

“Great atmosphere, even better beverages!“

“Good chow and a great place to visit.“

“Links is a golfed themed brewery that has recently taken off since moving to Carnegie and growing rapidly. They have a small beer selection on tap and cans available as well. All beers, including the stout and IPAs are very drinkable. Not too strong and not too hoppy. They go down easy, perfect for drinking there on weekend or while you’re on the back 9. They are Bring Your Own Food (BYOF), and since there are plenty of options nearby, pick up beforehand or order while you’re there. The owners are incredibly friendly and take the time to get to know their customers. Had a great experience my first time there and will forever sure be back to see what else is new items they have coming.“

“I was a vendor in distress during the draft. Malcolm (military trained-Late Addition) & Devlin (from Live Fresh) were so chivalrous, caring & concerned as a local community business. Malcolm & Devlin collaborated & helped a female street vendor who was being harassed(I stayed calm throughout the harassment). Late Addition collaborated with Live Fresh to provide a spot for my GridIron Swag vendor carts, they made sure I was safe & helped me with my needs. I set up in front of their establishments. With the harassment, heat & sun, focusing on resolution of the harassment (no water). I fainted & threw up. Malcolm brought me into Late Addition’s cool atmosphere, took my pulse & helped keep me calm. He noticed I was in distress and called an ambulance (I was transported to AGH). Crystal, who was helping me was still trying to focus on customers wanting to purchase. Devlin from Live Fresh helped Crystal move my u haul van, load up all my products & secured the van. These guys were so attentive to a female, vendor in distress. They were my Guarding Big Business Brother’s. I was so fortunate to have people with hearts, standards, morals & ethics to be around me at that time. This has could have gone so differently especially with my health. The outside emotional induced stress along with the strenuous physical labor, heat and distraction from drinking water could have resulted in a much more serious diagnosis. I owe these guys/businesses. I was invited to vend there for the next 2 days if I needed it. The next day I did try Live Fresh’s energy bowl & green goddess drink-FABULOUS. Later for dinner I got a chicken sandwich with slaw from Late Addition-DELICIOUS and it topped my evening off with a delicious pulled chicken sandwich so I didn’t have to cook. YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THE EXPERIENCE OF LATE ADDITION & LIVE FRESH. Everything about these businesses is off the charts.“

“Great beer! Great people!“

“Great little spot for river front dining/drinking. Yes it’s open-air concept so plan accordingly. We love east end brewery and often check to see which food truck is visiting. It’s a great way to support a local business and take advantage of that part of the river trail. Pittsburgh needs more spots like this. Great place to gather with a group of friends.“

“Husband, daughter, and I stopped during an outing on a Saturday. The hosts were amazing, server was top notch, and the food and drinks were absolutely top notch. Atmosphere is beautiful, and we absolutely enjoyed everything about our visit! 100/10. Thank you for a great experience!!!!“

“Always a great tap list! Good location and good eats available.“

“Such a great place to drink, eat, or chill. Inside or outside depending on how crowded it is or the weather, it will still be a great time. Their vegan pepperoni pizza is my favorite vegan pizza in town, with driftwood being a solid second. If theres a double IPA on tap get it. Never dissapointed. The parking sitch can be weird, but i think you can figure it out, just park on highland if you're worried.“

“Came here after work to order takeout because I wanted a bite to eat. I got the turkey sando and the tots and let me tell you I was impressed! I was skeptical about the hummus being on the sandwich and originally asked for it to be made without but i’m honestly glad that they ended up putting it on there because it took it to a whole new level! The vibe of the place was also a plus, really down to Earth!“

“Enjoying beers before Thanksgiving. Roundabout is great. Excellent beers! Friendly staff and a welcoming space, Dyana and Steve know their business. Highly recommended.“

“Four points has quickly moved into our favorite brewery to visit in the city. We haven’t had a beer we don’t like and the bartenders have been incredible each time, so kind! Also have appreciated that they’ve been family friendly. Being newly postpartum, you hope to find spaces you used to enjoy that still work for your family - and they have been nothing short of amazing in making us feel we belong. Great atmosphere, beer, and music - can’t go wrong!“

“Food and service were awesome. Stuff Pepper soup was delicious. Appetizers were beyond what I expected. I will be going back this weekend.“

“Absolutely phenomenal smash burger. They do it right and the fries are perfection. Will definitely be back“

“The pizza is so good. Our group got a few different ones to try, and honestly, they were all good. I’m convinced it doesn’t matter which pizza you choose, you will most likely enjoy it. The beers were good. What more can you want pizza and beer?“

“F1 event is rad! Good cocktail’s great beer great event!“

“Great food and a huge line of draft choices! Highly recommended!!“

“Cinderlands is a great place! Convenient to city visitors and residents in the vibrant Strip District, it’s great staff, beer, and food are their calling card.“

“very friendly with a good selection of beers.“

“Fast service, I was sat ASAP (as soon as possible). My burger was cooked to perfection not still mooing, and not too dark. The highlight was the bazookie. It looked liked poop at first they loaded it with so much chocolate (which made me really hungry.) I then wolfed it down tom pearl style, gave my waiter my fat tip and went on with my day!“

“Great beer and food! The best Oct Fest!“
