| - I'll admit I only heard about this place through the documentary ("Blood, Sweat and Beer" for those not in the know); however I was disappointed to find that while it is located in PA, it's on the other side of the state from where I live. So, in short, this brewery inspired me to take a little road trip. I'm quite glad I did make the trip, and also quite glad that the beer here is top notch.
Sure, Braddock is definitely not the most happening place, but this brewery seems to be the center of town and was packed to the gills when I was there. It's no surprise; the beers are delicious. Their White Sky is an extremely unique brew, one I could easily drink all day. It's a Chai Wheat Ale, and while it's spicy it's also very subtle. It's a complicated brew that is very smooth, and every sniff will leave you with a different impression. I didn't get a growler but wish I had! Their saison is also decent, being true to form with a crisp spiciness in every sip.
On top of great beer, this place has a lot of heart. It takes guts to open a new business in a struggling town. Honestly I think this brewery will be here for a long time to come, and hopefully I will get to try more of their brews in the future.
