On a recent trip to Pittsburgh this was the first place my friends took me, and I loved it! It really gave me an awesome first impression of how unique and interesting the 'Burgh really is.
The Church Brew Works is actually an old church-- amazing! The microbrewing equipment is right on the altar! So irreverent, much to my delight! We were seated in a section where I'm sure pews used to be, and had lovely views of the original stained-glass windows and open cathedral architecture.
The beer was really great-- I tried a dark wheat and an amber, both really excellent. We had pirogies, which seem to be popular around the area, and they were really excellent. I then moved onto a pasta dish with different veggies in a light tomato sauce which was really great too.
Definitely check this place out! And Pittsburgh natives, bring your friends here when they come to town!!
