| - Wow -- This brewery is incredible.
I had never heard of it until a few days ago. When I arrived in Pittsburgh for a brief visit, I checked Yelp and saw the PCBW event was connected to this brewery, so I bookmarked it. The next day at another brewery, the bartender recommended this spot wholeheartedly and I made stopping in a priority. Plus it's a 5-minute walk to Draai Laag, a brewery I adore, so that made it all the more enticing!
I'm glad I visited with a local friend. When we arrived, the weather was balmy, the sun was going down, and the brewery was packed to the gills. The inside area, which cutely resembled a house, was rather crowded but we were quickly served. They stamped our hands so we wouldn't get repeatedly carded. Be careful with the stamp -- somehow it bled onto my shirt. I don't even know how that happened, but I'm sure it'll wash out.
After securing our beers -- my friend got an IPA and I chose the Member Berries -- we found an open standing table outside and gawked at all the pretty little happy dogs. Because, yes, they are dog-friendly and it's awesome! Both beers were great (my friend walked back in and bought a 6-pack of the IPA!), and the atmosphere made the experience even better. We eventually headed out because storms were closing in, but it's the type of place I'd absolutely return to with a group of friends. So chill, casual, and nice. A true gem.
