Worth the trek from Pittsburgh (was about a 30 min drive for us through some suburb roads from Shadyside) for some world class beer.
We honestly weren't going to come up despite the high ratings on from BeerAdvocate, RateBeer and some other very reliable sources. "It's too far"... "There are thousands of craft brew joints in Pittsburgh, why drive the 30 minutes?"
Well - even if you were driving from out-of-state or out-of-country (like us), it's worth the trek to Brew Gentlemen. Their IPAs are some of the tastiest I've had in long time and their Chai spice wit was stellar - it sounds weird, but it worked.
Out back is a rotating food truck, so you can buy your food and eat inside (be sure to arrive before the food truck packs up for the night). And the place is my idea of a perfect beer joint -- jovial, but not crowded and the perfect ambient noise for conversation.
To give you an idea of how good this place is, we struck up a conversation at the bar and when the other patrons realized we were from Toronto, they instantly named the my favourite brewery and pub in the city.
Kudos, Brew Gentlemen. I only wish I found this place earlier in our trip so I can hit them up multiple times.
