    Attended a charity event here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The vibe is super relaxed and dog and kid friendly. Lots of places to hang out inside and out. Staff all super friendly and helpful. Great variety of beers on the menu with something for everyone. Rotating food trucks park out back and live music in the patio. Looking forward to next visit.

    A Cali girl who loves her craft beer..and this place definitely helped with that PGH humidity. The IPAs I had were delicious. My whole flight was delicious. Service was really friendly. Even brought over my sons root beer, which he enjoyed as well, because I had my hands full with the flight. An inviting place with good beer.? Say less. Definitely worth the visit.

    I've been to ACB many times over the years, but I hadn't been since they moved into their new location, but I'm sure glad I did on this day in particular. I was pleasantly surprised at how well of a job they did in the construction of it in all regards. I've always been a huge fan of their beers, but their new space is spectacular in every single way possible and makes enjoying their beers that much more pleasurable. The inside to the outside is done perfectly in ways to which all breweries should strive to become. Bravo! I cannot wait to come back! Thanks for the great beer and excellent service! See you soon...

    Oh my GOATness!! I was delighted to meet the stars of Allegheny GoatScape on my recent trip to Allegheny City Brewing. I'm very grateful they exist to keep the knotweed and other invasive plants in check throughout our beautiful city. They helped me discover that I don't share their love of Knotweed--Goatface, the knotweed-inspired farmhouse ale that was brewed in collaboration with the goats, was a bit too...earthy...for me. The ACBEeZ honey amber ale and the Mexican Vacation lager with lime were much more palatable. See you on the trails, goat friends!

    I went to the Grand Opening at their new Location on E. Ohio St and was extremely impressed. I had been to Summer music happenings at this new location, but the new building exceeds my wildest imagination. There's music on the lawn, and it flows naturally into the taproom, and there's an even cooler space upstairs. There's a food truck parked in the back. A small stage rounds out the lawn area, and yes, this will be the best place to hear Bluegrass. A brewery should be about the beer, and I have to report their beers are outstanding. The unquantifiable element is the hip vibe. Very cool people, beautiful dogs, and you really should experience this for yourself.

    Love the laid back atmosphere of a neighborhood brewery. This place is super dog friendly (be sure to check out the dog wall with photos of all of the cuties). There is a courtyard for people to enjoy drinks outside as well as an upstairs seating area. Check their schedule as there are always yummy food trucks out back in the alley. The beer selection had a little bit for everyone including NA options for those looking for that type of choice. The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions. If you need something to keep little ones busy or are just needing to compete with your friends, there is a wall of games to choose from.

    Really great brewery with both indoor and outdoor areas. Indoors you can find ample seating on two floors, a collection of board games, and a painting station to keep the kids occupied. Outdoors they have a fire pit and a complementary hot chocolate station on colder nights. This place is very dog friendly as well - they have dog treats available at the bar. In addition to their wonderful beers, they also have cocktails and cider on tap. Great place to hang out with friends or grab a drink before heading to dinner.

    Good beer and a small intimate seating area but also picnic benches for outdoor patio seating! There are some snacks for sale and a food truck was setting up when I got there when they opened. The beer was good, but also very IPA heavy, it must be the regional flavor profile. Service was friendly and fast.

    It's been a while since we visited the original location, which is said to be just 75 steps behind the new building. This is our second visit to the new location and many more to come. As someone who has been to hundreds of breweries, I can confidently say this place stands out with its unique creativity. The front entrance features a gate that gets locked at night, giving it an almost palace-like feel. The seating around the top and side areas, as well as the main entrance, is well-designed. On our visits, a food truck was usually parked behind the building, which is a nice touch. It's a great spot to start your pre-Steelers game festivities, especially if you park on the north side. Upon entering, you're greeted by a beautiful entrance with a dog walk to the right, showcasing photos of the owners and patrons. The dog-friendly atmosphere is fantastic. To the left, you'll find board games as you move forward to a large bar area, with multiple side exits leading to outdoor seating. The setup and beers here are extraordinary--this might just be my new favorite brewery. Now, onto the beers. They currently have 13 on draft, along with wine from @pghwinery , cider from @arsenalcider , and two mixed drinks: Stateside Vodka Soda and Goodlander Mango Mojito.I sampled 8 of the 13 beers: - **Woo**: 6.5% ABV, hazy IPA with secret hops. Good, though not overly juicy. - **Oceanic Hazy IPA**: 6.5% ABV, hazy IPA with Citra, Galaxy, and Motueka hops. Excellent and fruit-forward. - **Lil Awervy Petite Hazy**: 4% ABV, IPA with McKenzie & Citra hops. A light, satisfying hazy. - **Pineapple Express**: 6.5% ABV, hazy IPA with pineapple puree. Great pineapple flavor without being overwhelming. - **Breezy Rice Lager**: 5% ABV, Japanese-style lager with jasmine. Light and refreshing. - **Electric T**: 5% ABV, Moroccan Mint Green Tea. Unique and enjoyable. - **510 Pale Ale**: 5.10% ABV, traditional American Pale Ale. A classic favorite. - **Hudy Polish Lager**: 4.9% ABV, light lager with Lubelski hops. Superb; would have loved it in a 4-pack, but it's only available in growlers. All of these beers were good but my faves were oceanic, 510, pineapple & Kolsch. this new place & plan to visit often. Such a diverse set of beers. Cheers!

    Checked out Allegheny City Brewing for their "Mac Miller Day" event & was not disappointed! The taproom released their new beer "most dope" (a perfect summer hazy IPA) & had Mac Miller playing all evening out in the beer garden. Because ACB doesn't serve food, they have rotating local food vendors & tonight it was Smoked Out Jefe. I couldn't have been happier with not only the vendor's food (spicy, smoky soul food), but his service & personality set the vibe for the evening. We enjoyed several different beers on tap (some highlights include "most dope", "open parachute", & "mexican vacation") out in the beer garden under the twinkle lights in adirondack chairs, and I will definitely be back for summer nights to try more & play cornhole!

    One of the best breweries to visit out there! The new location somehow keeps the cozy small-space charm of the previous, but allowing more people to enjoy it at once. There's a ton of room here for everyone + your furry friends. Always has a great food truck, and often live entertainment. Everyone here is seriously the best, and has adopted our dog as one of their own as well! (She pulls us here alllllll the time, twist our arms!) I can't drink beer (I know...) but they have Stateside Vodka Seltzers and a rotation of ciders. But for the beer drinkers in my life, I'm told it's too notch!!!!

    The beers were absolutely amazing. I came in for a couple of hours visiting from out of town. Had a great selection of different beers. A great atmosphere at the brewery, all staff and locals were very friendly. Service was quick and staff very knowledgeable about their beers. I highly recommend and will be back.

    Great new spot to enjoy a beer outside in the city! Decided to stop by to give it a try before a Pirate game and was not disappointed. Wide selection of beer and n/a soda from Barmy Soda Co made in Pittsburgh. You can enjoy a glass, a 6oz pour or a flight with a great view. Ample outdoor seating. We arrived before the food truck but would definitely come back. Service was friendly as well.

Finally made our way there and well, make sure you do not bring young kids. My friend had an 18 month old with us and as she was BUYING a beer from them, the guy who worked there asked if she "could keep the screaming to a minimum." An eighteen month old!!! And Mother's Day is tomorrow, nice. He said that they had to draw a line somewhere and he wasn't kidding. The 18 month old was not running around screaming crying all day. We were outside having the kids play and when my friend was buying a beer he got a bit fussy and was told to keep it to a minimum. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back. If you have small children, I would not suggest this place. Super disappointing. I've always hyped their beer and place up and now I can't support it. We ended up going to Grist House and it was a WAY better vibe and WAY busier...I wonder why. I should have known when their sign said no dogs allowed.
