I read about this endeavor a couple years ago in Pittsburgh mag and so happy to see it up, going and going! Really happy to finally get here.
Located in the main drag in Braddock it's very unassuming storefront is the perfect entrance for this very unassuming gem. Simple decor that is indigenous to the area's mill heritage. Black granite bar, simple wooden tables with metal piping bases and stringed light bulb fixtures. Few framed drawings on the walls. It's just the right amount to keep the beer the feature. Beer menu is on computer screens which adds the right amount of modern to the place. It's cozy. Enough of decor. To the real feature.
Beers are awesome. Was able to about half of them and settled on the Build an Destroy wheat stout. Rich, full bodied and perfect for a cold winter night. Also had a prototype beer...gose which is a sour and a sour done right! I hope this prototype makes a permanent tap.
Food trucks outside and you can order eat outside or bring it in...they will even bring it in for you. BG keep a schedule on their website. What a great way to feature local food trucks and always have a variety of choices.
What I liked the most about this place was the enthusiasm for the product. Genuine excitement for customers to try their beer and like it. With the rash of craft beer enthusiasts out there who tend to become a bit of elitists, this felt like going into someone's home and having them try your favorite recipe. It was like sharing a beer with a good friend.
I love, love, love this place and it will definitely become a regular haunt for me.
