Local brewery in Ambridge on Merchant street. Great place to hang with friends. Lots of seating and couches in the back. I believe you could reserve back area for events. If you're a non-drinker, they have NA beer options. They don't serve food, but on the weekends there is always a food truck. They also allow you to bring food over from black dog pizzeria next-door. Friday nights are karaoke and just a heads up - it gets loud and a little rowdy. Dogs are permitted if they are well behaved. There is street parking and a parking lot to the left of the building. read more

This is a cool place. II stopped in with a large group of friends on a Saturday afternoon after a reception down the street, and althugh not empty, it definately was't busy. That said, the vibe was good, and the facility is nice. The front bar area was open to the street and the back is more intimate with comfy seating areas and some interesting art and music related photos onb the wall. There is also a bandstand in the middle, and I have to get back here for some live music. The beers and cocktails were great, and we had a nice time. Without the benefit of a weekend night here, I recomend that you try this place. A real local jem. read more

I've been wanting to come here since they opened but timing was never right. I'm so glad we finally made it. The brewery itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff are super helpful and friendly. Being able to bring in Police Station Pizza is a plus. The brewery does have a limited food menu which I'll try next time. The pours are superior. Absolutely delicious. They have an incredible selection of sours too. Fun fact, when I was 3 I lived in an apartment above the brewery. read more

Big garage door windows that open, clean bar, large TV with local sports, and good beer. I enjoy coming out to this spot whenever we are looking to get out of the house. Wait staff is quick. Don't quote me on this but I was told by a local in Ambridge this used to be an old car dealership, which may or may not be true but it's a cool space anyway. Lots of seating. My photos are of the back with has a retro vibe. The front is much more modern but the photo I took had lots of patrons in it and I don't like posting pictures of people I don't know (that might even be a rule on here, I'm not sure). I wish they had a happy hour and more variety in their food carts, but those don't stop me from going. read more

If you're going for the music, forget it. Right in front of the band you can't hear it. The crowd drowns out the bands. I don't know if it's the acoustics of the place or if the sound guy doesn't know what he's doing. There are two stages so you have to move to hear anything at all. More speakers or what they have needs to be pointed in different directions to cover more area. VERY annoying experience. read more

Super cool local brewery in Ambridge. They have tons of beers and usually have some kind of food truck parked right outside. Big space, super nice bar area & roll up doors to catch the fresh breeze in the warm months. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their beers which was very helpful! read more

Fermata Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Ambridge, Pennsylvania

I had a nice first experience at Fermata Brewing & this looks like it will be a hot spot in the summer since it has window garage doors that open to the street. They also support local life music, which is a plus in my book. They do not serve food, which means they are pet friendly even indoors. But they do offer various food trucks on site. I had there Me Too Stout on St Patrick's Day which was very smooth & drinkable & only 3.9%! The brew pub is quite big inside with bar seating, counter seating, high tops, low tops & couch groupings in the back. Bands play near the front door. I definitely will stop back. They have a small parking lot & street parking is pretty easy to find. There are also other restaurants walkable to grab food. read more

First visit to Fermata. Cool industrial space with tons of room with unique sitting spaces. Pets welcome & seems like live music on a regular basis. Food is not served inside, but the food truck was there on the day we visited. Beers were flavorful - a favorite of the day was the barrel aged. Growelers are available for most but not all beers. It's definitely a place to go back to. read more

Solid spot! Good prices, good beer, good people. They have live music almost every weekend which is hard to find in Beaver County.

First time here, during a bar crawl. Tasted both beers but i got the Hold Your Fire. Did try the sour, was very good and I never like sour beer! They have food trucks outside almost always!! I've come down for food before but never went inside (always wanted to!) Surely will be back in the future to this brewery! So close to where we live. read more

Service and ambience very good! Loved the selection of beers and the location is great for meeting friends

Friendly people, dog- friendly, and great brews. You can drop in casually and sit away from main area and play games or talk. Monthly trivia is lots of fun. Fermata has many special things planned on their calendar for everyone. read more

love the vibes. Great service. great beer. Fun times! Very clean and inviting. Love that the doors open up to let in fresh air on nice days.

OK, I'm bias. I admit it. I am a friend of one of the owners, but Fermata is a great brewery! The beer is awesome and the location is great! I'll go on record that the Cold Brew Collusion is by far my favorite (and like the Practice Beer as my #2), but all of the beers that I have tried thus far have been great! The brewery and the owners do a great job in being part of the Ambridge community and giving back to the neighborhood and other local businesses. They have completely emerged themselves in the local Pittsburgh area brewery scene, and have had several collaboration brews in their short time being open for business. Its a great venue for local music and artists, with several different acts throughout the week and weekends. Most of the week they bring in different food trucks that you can bring their products into the brewery as they do not have a kitchen or serve any food themselves. They are also allowing people go do down the street to other local businesses and bring their food back in. The brewery is kid friendly (meaning its cool if you bring your kids, not buy them a beer) and pet friendly as well. I honestly can not say enough good things about Fermata. It is a great place to go, run by some great people who make pretty damn good beer. You should definitely try it out if you are in the Ambridge area,...or even if you are not. Make the trip. You will not be disappointed! read more

This was on my lists of breweries to visit. We pulled up and walked in and the place is large. Lots of room to sit and move around. You walk up and order beer that you want. We got a taster of 4 beers. Smoked beer, Pale Ale, Dunkel and Pilsner. Smoked Beer and Pale Ale were my faves. It's difficult to find a really good Pale Ale but this one was great. I ended up purchasing a 4 pack of the smoked beer and a glass. Liked this brewery and can't wait to revisit. read more

Great beers! They have different food trucks almost every day and it keeps things interesting! Are they usually always busy? Yes. But it's worth it for a good beer, music, and a comfy area to sit at in the back. read more

It's the staff and how they embrace four legged friends for me!! The beer is also very good and the live music/food trucks on the weekend make this one of our favorite places to hang. They even do private events!!! read more
