This was just our second visit to Hazel Grove Brewing. However, when we say they were releasing a…read morebarrel aged Belgian Triple we couldn't resist. There is a decent amount of space inside with options ranging from couches to low tables and high tables which is nice. The bartender was welcoming. There was several tables of customers without it being overly busy. I decided to order a flight and was glad they didn't exclude the barrel aged. I got the Panda's Choice (Belgian Triple) and then the Panda's Choice aged in Tokaji barrels so I could compare them side by side. I had never had a beer aged in or even had Tokaji (a Hungarian dessert wine) so I was intrigued. It gave the Belgian a complex taste and made it very unique. I wasn't sure what to make of it at first but also kept going back for me. I also brought some home which will be great to share with friends. Also in the flight I got a Belgian Quad and a Chai winter ale. Both were tasty. Overall it was a great flight and I would drink all of the beers again. It's great to have a Pittsburgh brewery putting out Belgian style beers.

What a fun place! Great outdoor area, even better indoor seating -- all of it with a fun, colorful,…read morerelaxed vibe. The beer is really flavorful - something for everyone, and the bartenders encourage you to try whatever you want. We ordered their Belgian tripel and Robot Olympics hazy IPA. Both excellent. AND -- super cool thing during Lent, you can pre-order a fish meal for Fish Fry Fridays from Community Kitchen, and they'll deliver it right to the brewery! We were one of maybe 10 orders or more at 4:45p (the order actually came at around 5:10pm, which was even better). The other 2 time slots are 5:45p (which was full when I tried to order this morning) and 6:45p. The brewery also has other fun themed nights. You can bring whatever food you want (they don't serve food). Get on their email list to find out! Definitely will be back!

During Prohibition, the company produced low-alcohol "near-beer," though it was raided several times for allegedly selling actual beer instead. After the end of Prohibition in 1933, the brewery was reorganized as the a different organization and closed in 1938. Fast forward 86 years later and we have up to 3 breweries in the same realm. It's amazing to see this place reappear as a business after 86 years and reopen with such incredible flair. The main area is stunning, combining modern aesthetics with a nod to its historic roots. A true gem in the community!. This place is I as a hidden gem with three breweries onsite.

You walked in and can either take the stairs or elevator up to the third floor. There's a couple of couches, a water fountain, and some memorabilia on the ground floor. The second is off limits. The taproom is pretty big and we didn't sit outside since it was cold but there's a rooftop deck as well. There's a food counter with a small menu and two open bars from different breweries. I like that they have smaller pours that are reasonably priced. I'm a dark beer lover and they had a few options for me. We sat there at the bar and closed down the place. This place is a little out of the way but I would come back!

This really can be a great space. An old historic building given new life and bringing people into…read morethe community. This space houses two (soon to be three) breweries and has a kitchen. There is an outdoor ground level patio and bars in the nice weather but that is all currently closed. There is also a rooftop space which I have been to before and it's great. It's nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the views while having a nice drink, though it can get crowded. Inside there is plenty of seating. You can grab a stool at the bar by Abstract Realm. There are large tables. TVs around. Plenty of room to gather. I personally have not tried the food but it's nice that there is a kitchen there to grab some food. As far as the beer I think it will be helped when the third brewery opens just to give some more variety and options which is needed. There is a parking lot but it is small and can fill quickly which may leave you looking for nearby street parking. Overall I think this can be a great stop. It's nice to have a few different breweries where people can each find something to their liking while you are able to gather and socialize.

Another trope of mine is being an old yinzer and I have been around long enough to remember when this location was Hough's and also supposed to be Necromancer. But I digress. On Sundays, we try a brewery we haven't yet been to. Mondays is a clean spot with nice woodwork, food, and great service. For a bit of time it was just us in there and they offered to let us pick the music. TVs had on local hockey and march madness. A continuous stream of customers came in for food and crowler takeout. Bartender Josh was friendly and kind. All in all, had a great time. Beer was fresh. Recommend for a Monday or any day.

So have you seen that meme out on the InterT00bZ that's like "Hey let's go to that new beer place…read morethey have $27 warm hazy IPAs in the middle of a parking lot?" Yeah, that's the vibe I was getting at Velum. There was a lot to like and a lot to not like about this place, so I'll start with the bad and end on a positive note. First off, it's in an old brewery and it looks like a warehouse. I'm not sure if they still brew their own beers but it straight up looks like an old warehouse. I've seen abandoned warehouses that look less like a warehouse than Velum. Maybe some people like that vibe but I felt like the cops were going to bust in and shut the party down like a teen coming-of-age movie. The taproom is all the way in the back, and so are the bathrooms, so if you break the magic circle, prepare to get your steps in. There's no kitchen. They DO partner with a food truck but they're getting their own review. I paid $10 for an average cocktail and $8 for a 12 oz cider that frankly wasn't that great. Either better drinks or bigger drinks, please. And everything is community seating. I don't hate the idea but I didn't care for the vibe so when I found a smaller table my friend and I grabbed it and boarded it. With that being said, there was a lot to like too. First off, we were there for a pinball night, and they have a great selection of pinball tables there, both classic and modern. I really would have liked information on joining a pinball league, but that wasn't offered anywhere that I could find. Plus on that particular night it was $10 for all-you-can-play, so we definitely got our money's worth there. The staff that I did interact with were super nice. That goes a long way and saved this from being a worse review. And the place is dog friendly, which is always a huge plus for me. All in all, I had a decent night. But the question as always is if I'll go back. Unfortunately, probably not of my own accord. If there's another pinball event, I'll definitely go, but it's not going into my rotation of cool spots. Not every place is meant for me, and that's fine.
