Visited for a record release show and was immediately impressed by the size of the local crowd and how the event was handled, great first impression. Have been here a couple times before, and visited the Pittsburgh location, so understood the quality of the beer - good selection and most beers are medium/high ranked. Price is pretty fair, given the location. My only concern about the visit was that there was a small outdoor tent/booth selling the same beer for an additional $4 per cup, which is extreme for the area and kind of confusing. You can walk to the interior behind the stage and get the same (as well as more variety) beer for $4-5 less? Unsure whether the lady charged me more than intended but it seemed like a gouge. Be aware of that....it was kind of a bummer. read more

Helltown doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is such a cool place to be for some drinks and fun activities, such as trivia night (which was a blast). They've got some good beers on draft and even some good ciders in cans. The workers here are extremely friendly! I hope to come back when I'm back in town visiting family! read more

Great beer Great atmosphere Enjoy the day at this great brewery !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We popped by this little small town brewery since we were in the area. I'd only had one other beer from Helltown so I was pretty excited to try more. Due to the covid restrictions, it was only outdoor seating at the moment. They brought a food truck along, and were setting up for a live band by the time we were leaving. Picnic tables were placed under large tents so there was plenty of shade and space to social distance from others, which was really great! I hope to come back here once it is safe to lift restrictions because the indoor area looked wonderful as well! Parking is on a gravel lot or grass. It can be a little tough to find a spot but they have extra parking in the back. The beers themselves were good. We tried three different IPAs on tap. Everything was served in a plastic cup currently, but that doesn't diminish the taste at all. The bartender was friendly and she let me try any beers that I wanted before ordering. The place overall was very clean and I felt comfortable in this setting. It's a little surprising of a location because you drive through what feels like a little neighborhood to get there, but once you arrive it definitely feels like a relaxing vibe. read more

What a great experience we had here. We were doing the Laurel Highlands Pour Tour. We stopped by and was confused at first. When you walk in, the main entrance is where you do the tastings at. I walked around and didn't see anything at first. However Dave greeted us. He was super friendly. It was nice to learn the location in Mt. Pleasant is where it all started at. That place is not the best brewery area to hang out at. However if you're going for beer it's a good choice. All of the beers were good. My favorite was Idle Hands. A double IPA, I'm not an IPA guy but two of the breweries I've visited have been my favorites. We ended up walking away with 2 cases of beer. That's a first for us. I paid $85 for two cases. That's a first for me as well. read more

We are staying in an air bnb in Bear Rocks and had to come check out Helltown in the afternoon. Came isn to have a tasting of some of their beers and take some cans home. I personally enjoyed Black Metal IPA, Mischievous Brown Ale, and the Russian Imperial Stout. Outstanding dark beers are made here! Also a BBQ food truck in residence was making some really fantastic looking Que! Absolutely a must visit in Mount Pleasant. Huge outdoor spaces, covered and sunny as well as inside seating and Merch! read more

This brewery has such great beer options. My family really enjoyed this mount pleasant location. They are kid and dog friendly with activities for kids and areas for dogs. The beer was all delicious! We came on a Sunday and played the music bingo, how fun!! We will be coming back, this place is a must stop. read more

Great place off a beaten path. Good beer and chill people. Whenever I go, i buy a 6-pack of lilith's revenge, but they have so many other great choices! go here! read more

Looked up a local microbrewery and found this place. Great atmosphere inside. Out of the way but once there I could see this being a guaranteed stop each time visiting family. Rudolf red is really good. Tried several others. Nice variety. During summer could really picture great times even outside. read more

This is a pretty solid brewery. We were on our way from a night in Pittsburgh, to a wedding at Seven Springs, and this was not far out of the way. There isn't any food here, but it looked like there are usually food trucks around meal times. My wife and I split a flight and enjoyed all of our samples. My personal favorite was the Misfit and Misanthropes #24, a very juicy NEIPA. Wouldn't make a special trip to come here, but if in the area again, would definitely stop by again. read more

Beer was really good. Good selection. The location is great. Spacious and open. They had Spanky's Rollin Kitchen there for food. We had the nachos. Good food plenty of toppings. Only had one and sometimes two servers at the bar, but they did a good job keeping up. It was pretty busy. read more

On a long RV trip across the USA with a couple months in each state we happened upon Helltown Brewing while in Pittsburgh. The beers were terrific, some of the best stouts I've ever had and the IPAs were on point as well. The server was also super friendly and a wealth of information about the surrounding area and as a whitewater enthusiast offered us some awesome opportunities nearby. Great brews, great people. read more

When I heard about this new brewery in Mt. Pleasant a year or so ago, I had to check it out. Run by two brothers, these young guys have really done a wonderful job of introducing some great craft beers into the marketplace! Located in an off-the-beaten- path location with a gravel parking lot, their metal building houses some reclaimed brewing equipment and shows evidence of how a dream becomes reality. The beers were initially so much in demand they could barely keep up with requests from the local bars in the area. Experimentation with various brews meant you never knew what they might have on tap or when your favorite would be available again. Sadly, there have been times my growler came home empty since they had to cycle their production and I was there between batches. With time, they've gotten really good. Really good. They've even started bottling some of their beers and have added brewing tanks. Their Rapture IPA is outstanding! If you're lucky enough to see it on tap anywhere (try Mad Mex), get it. Do it. It's awesome. And if you're in the mood for a little more alcohol in your brew, the Idle Hands double IPA may be the BEST double I've ever had. If you're ever in Mt. Pleasant, stop in and see Shawn and have him draw you a few samples. Tell him I sent you. Here's hoping that they get more widespread distribution so we all can enjoy some of the best craft beer Pittsburgh has to offer. But until then, that brown jug in my hands is all mine........ read more

"We're headed to Reggie Ledoux's house." These are the words spoken by one of my drinking buddies as we made our way to Helltown Brewing. I was a little scared of what we'd find. Helltown Brewing is a modest brewing set up located in Mount Pleasant, an area made infamous from it's bootlegging ages ago. I had never been there before and while it looked like we may be lost, I was assured we were almost there. Helltown is located in what looks like a big garage and you drive through a residential area and up a dirt road to get there. Their logo marks the side of the building. Definitely not what you'd expect. Despite my reservations, our stop here could not have been more pleasant. We were welcomed in by the brewers and samples were offered. There's not really anywhere to sit so we stood near the taps. Only growlers are sold on site but Helltown brews can be found around at Pittsburgh bars and local beerfests. While at the source, I tried Wretched (a Belgian blonde) and Mischievous (a brown ale). I liked them both, but not enough to buy a growler to go. If you're a fan of IPAs, Rapture will be your Helltown beer of choice. I'd easily give their beers a 4. But since this review is for the brewery as well as the beer, I went with a 3 star review. The beers are quality for sure so if you see Helltown on tap at a local bar, definitely give it a try. The brewery itself would be better if they had a bigger tasting room. Unfortunately I don't think that's in their plans for the future. read more

One of my favorite breweries around IF you can find it. It's on a side road at the end of the road so follow the signs and you're there. They have outstanding beers which are becoming easier to find around the pittsburgh area. If you want that fancy brewery look this is not for you. They're basically a garage with a few picnic tables outside but what more do you need when enjoying a few great beers with friends. read more

We have a camp in Champion, PA & after seeing some posts from Pittsburgh Taco Truck, I realized there was a brewery about 20 minutes away from our camp (and a little over an hour out from Pittsburgh) in Mt. Pleasant! I was pretty excited to say the least. Pittsburgh Taco Truck has been coming to this location I believe 1x or so a month all summer- we happened to be in the area on the weekend in which they were coming to Helltown. The brewery is tucked back in a residential area in Mt. Pleasant- you may find yourself questioning if you have the right address when you are driving there. They have a decent parking area, all of which is grass. It's located next to a cornfield &you won't be able to miss the devil's tail logo on the side of the building. They had about 5 or 6 wooden tables set up outside, & there really isn't any seating in the tap room. The brewers are really friendly & laid back. We were able to sample any beer we wanted- they don't offer flights, but offer generous free samples instead. I went with the Hefe at first and then came back for the Brown Ale later on. I also tried a sample of their Double IPA. I liked the Hefe, but loved the Brown Ale- it had a really delicious deep flavor. Their Double IPA was tasty as well. We had a great time drinking good beer & eating yummy tacos. They offer growlers and they sell cans as well. We overall had a great time & I look forward to returning! read more

Helltown has become one of our favorite breweries to visit back home. We've come here many times and haven't had a bad experience, yet! It is located in Mt. Pleasant at the end of a tiny, residential street. You would never even know it was there had the Helltown symbols on the street signs not caught your eye. That's actually part of what I love about it, though. It's a hidden gem in an old garage; and, it's not your typical, modernized brewery. They have outdoor/indoor seating based on the weather (picnic tables outside for the warmer weather and they move them inside for the colder weather). There's not a whole lot of seating though; so, if you're stopping by when they're busy, you may be standing for a bit. Food trucks are frequently stationed outside of the brewery so that you can grab a bite to eat. I know they also hold events outside every now and then, too. All of the beer I've had have been really good. I tend to favor their IPAs. Just recently I had the M&M #7 and it was yummy. Pat is usually around when we visit. He's really friendly and is always buzzing around the brewery working on different things. He also makes the shirts, stickers, etc. that they have on sale. If you're in the area, you should stop by! A lot of local restaurants tend to have their beers on tap; but, visiting the actual brewery is a more worthwhile experience! read more

Such a great energy! Loved having a few brews while sitting outside on a lovely fall day. The beer was so good!

Love this place! Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere and if they have it, food trucks :)

Dave was super informative and friendly. I had the Stout and it was amazing. My wife had the. Heffe and it was really good as well. A great place to watch some football and have some beer. read more

Not the easiest place to find, especially for an out of towner. Follow your GPS even if it doesn't seem right to you. It is. Once you get there, it doesn't look like it's open to the public, but it is. Go in, it's worth it. Friendly staff, great beers, reasonable pricing. I picked up a growler of their Rapture IPA after tasting it. Great stuff. read more

No, you're not lost. Drive a little further in the gravel and taste some Idle Hands. You will come back! Great guys with great beers! read more

Good beer at fair prices. Sits on a dead end road. Picnic tables everywhere. You can even have food delivered. You can sample before you buy which is awesome. read more

Found this place on yelp, it had good reviews so I went with my husband. Beer was ok, but talk about uncomfortable. I felt as though I walked into a private event. All of the weird looks, even the staff was unfriendly. I got a back yard biker wannabe vibe from this place.. specially from the staff, they seemed to want to appear very tough. That's ok though, nicer people and more welcoming breweries will get my money. read more

Out of the way but well worth going to. Great beer. Dog friendly. Outdoor picnic tables. I just wish they kept the taproom open a little more often. Some weekday evenings would be great. read more

Cool place on a back street in Mt Pleasant where you can meet the Brewers themselves. Went to fill up a growler my son in law gave me and ended up buying a 2nd one. $20 to purchase a growler with a fillup. And $10 to refill one. Not a bad price and some really great beer. The Hefe and the Mischievous Pale Ale are my favorite. Support your local brewers and enjoy. read more

Awesome brewery. Stop in for a free tasting and buy an amazing growler of the double stout! Highly suggest.

Great beer and people were super friendly. I'm on board with low key and unpretentious, but I feel like there is a bit of a missed opportunity in that, for basically $0 they could cleanup the outside picnic table area, put up a couple speakers and they'd have a great place to hang out and enjoy a beer. read more

These guys have never, ever, put out a bad beer. These guys clearly show care in the beer they produce. People who always tell me "Oh, I don't like IPAs", or "I don't like brown ales" always change their mind after I have them try a Helltown ale (and lager now, sometimes too). Check their facebook page before making the trek, or call ahead to make sure someone will be there. read more
