Description

Even though Pittsburgh is best known for the many steel mills that have dotted its landscape, it has also been a massive center for the brewing of beer and ale during its history. Since 1765, when common beer was once first brewed for British soldiers at Fort Pitt, the city has produced a big amount of beer to quench the thirst of steelworkers who toiled in the city’s mills. Brands like Iron City, Duquesne (or “Duke”), Rolling Rock, and Stoney’s are still known in the area lately, at the same time as old-timers might keep in mind that names like Fort Pitt, E&O, Carnegie, and Dutch Club, among others. Many towns surrounding Pittsburgh, such as McKeesport, Latrobe, and Aliquippa, were also home to breweries that thrived for a few years. Through more than 220 historic images, Brewing in Greater Pittsburgh looks on the most prominent brewers in the Greater Pittsburgh area, covering Allegheny, Beaver, Westmoreland, and other neighboring counties.
