15 Best Craft Breweries in Pittsburgh

“We had a tour last week with our beer guide Kevin. He was extremely knowledgeable about all beers and the history of the area, very friendly and just really enjoyable as a tour guide. We went to Old Thunder in Blawnox, Strange Roots in Millvale and Allegheny City on the North Side - each with its own ambiance and tasty brews. We'd be happy to go on another tour with friends sometime!“

“I just had the Mojito and Transfusion Cocktails & they were so good. My husband liked that they had Local Craft Beers that he could enjoy also Such great service. We will definitely be back again.“

“Great space and brews. You will be missed“

“Great place. Great beer. We’ll be back.“

“The first time I went here I thought the beers weren't great, but the second time was a lot better. Excellent location, in any case; good place to chat with friends. The music is a tad loud, that said, but I guess it makes conversations more private for some who want to talk loud? Who knows.“

“A fun and eclectic brewery in Verona. Inner Groove's ~thing~ is having a great collection of records which are always spinning. It added a nice ambiance while sitting at the bar and whatever's playing is a good conversation starter with the bartenders who are really friendly and helpful. I felt the tap list is super IPA heavy, which I'm not as into anymore personally. But if you are, you'll love it! I tried a blonde ale and the rainbow sherbet sour (which legit tasted like melted rainbow sherbet). They were both good. I look forward to checking out this space again in the summer. It's really close to the river so I'm sure it's even better when you can spend time outside.“

“I recently visited Four Points Brewing and was thoroughly impressed! This hidden gem in Pittsburgh is a haven for craft beer lovers. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience delightful. They have an impressive selection of beers, with each offering its own unique and rich flavors that cater to both aficionados and those new to the craft beer scene.The brewery’s space is both cozy and trendy, perfect for a casual hangout with friends or a relaxing solo visit. What stood out to me was their commitment to quality and the passion for brewing that was evident in each pint. Four Points doesn’t just serve beer; they curate an experience that celebrates the craft.The location at 919 Western Avenue is convenient, and their digital presence, reflected in their sleek website, makes it easy to stay updated on their latest creations and events. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Four Points Brewing for a pint of their finest.“

“Excellent food, excellent service, huge space with plenty of seating. Beer: I tried a Helles and a Hazy IPA and both were very good. There was a great beer selection and I wish I would have been able to try a few more. Food: I had a burger which was excellent. I would have added a picture but it didn't last very long. There were 3 of us and everyone enjoyed the food. Service: There was a QR on the table where you can order food and drinks. The drinks came out shockingly fast and although the food took a bit it was worth the wait. Parking: We were able to find close parking and although the area by the bar was full there was plenty of available seating in the back. Games: There are also pool tables, darts, and a large Jenga game to play.“

“Our server was amazing! She had a group of over 100 people coming and going over a 2 hour span and she rocked it. I had the Cobb salad, which was light and tangy, very refreshing. The pickle chips were amazing! The batter on them was so good, it was tough to share! Great location by our hotel, huge patio area, and the weather was perfect that evening. I also heard the beer was pretty spectaular too. Great choice!“

“Levanator was great if you like dark beer. great place!“

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

“We came after a Pittsburgh Steelers game. After being in the cold and rain, what an amazing experience. The beer is phenomenal and the cocktails are amazing. The couches and chairs are a great place to watch a game. Amazing time can’t wait to come back. Thank you Trevor and Daren!“

“Easily one of the top breweries in the area. Not only are their beers unique and tasty, but they generally have something that will please everyone.Some of the best beers I've had have come from Hitchhiker and while their cans are good in a pinch, their on tap beers are well worth the trip.My only knock is they need to expand somewhere else with more seating and do a food menu of their own rather than relying on food trucks which can be hit or miss (can't remove a star for that since it's clear this is only a taproom) .The staff is great and attentive and let you try something so you don't get a glass of something you will hate.Getting seating here sometimes can be problematic in the winter months; but their stuff is top shelf and worth it.One of my top 5 breweries in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.“

“They took care of my wife and myself with service and fantastic drinks. They also took care of an intoxicated Steelers fan, giving him water and food, while calling him a cab. This staff was fantastic with how casual they were with the situation. I'd come and give my business to this small brewery everytime I visit the Pittsburgh area.“

“Nice and friendly staff, good food and love the rotating weekly pizza. They are always so creative and different. Inside is cozy and I love the outdoor area during the warmer months. Winter they also have fire pits, which are cozy to hang by. Dog friendly outside is a plus.“
