I came here with a friend of mine while visiting Pittsburgh.
We were driving down some street and I noticed this old church-style building with a big sign that read BREW WORKS outside. On a spur of the moment decision, my friend pulled the most illegal u-turn to pull into a side street while we went on a new adventure.
Inside, I couldn't decide if I was walking into Sunday mass (this also happened to be a Sunday that we went) or if it was a restaurant. All of the original stained glass windows are still in place, and where the alter used to be is where they now have all of their beer.
We sat at the bar and ordered a sampler platter of beer to try. It came on this cool place-mat with descriptions of each beer that we were drinking. The bartender was very nice and helped us with every question we could come up with.
The food was alright. Better than average I would say. But it seems like you don't come here for the food so much as you do the setting and for their beer. It was an awesome experience that I wish I get to experience again the next time I am in PA.
Plus, we got our picture taken for the local newspaper for a story on this place! Couldn't get any better than that! Definite recommendation in my book
