Greetings! As a craft beer fan, and Pittsburgh native, I’m excited about your endeavor! I’m interested in learning more about volunteer and potential employment opportunities and will reach out to Debbie as suggested above. Thank you.
Thanks for your interest. Debbie will get you on board.

I am planning a dinner event for about 125 people in early January 2019 and would like to hold it at the museum. Can you tell me if the restaurant will be built by then and where?
Hi!
Just heard about the museum and am very curious about the opening. Is there a projected date?
Thanks,
Jennifer
It’s a long road. We are looking to have the first component, “The Story of Beer in Pennsylvania,” open within the year. Check back for updates and thanks for your interest.
Missing a new brewery in Philadelphia. Wissahickon Brewing Company.
Interesting. There license is listed as “Expired.” We will add them to the map. Thanks.
Sitting at Dad’s Pub and Grub in Monroeville sampling Sorbel’s Obscure Brewery Inspirational IPA. Worth an addition the the map? So many breweries it’s hard to keep up!!
Good question, Doug. So far, Sobel’s is not licensed as a brewery and the address is a P.O. Box, but we will keep an eye out for them.
Thanks.
I’m interested in volunteering.
I’m retiring soon and will need to fill in the time void.
Glad to hear from you Martin. Please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Debbie, at [email protected]
There is another brewery in Oxford pa. Hollow earth brewing.
Thanks, Steve. We’ve got them now.
There is also one in New Stanton called Sobel’s Obscure Brewery.

I’ll add them, but they don’t have a public address and I’m not finding a license for them.
Thanks for letting us know. It is in there now.
I have several tin beer advertisement signs and a few neons as well as a beer can collection that I am looking to sell to the right person. Are you interested? Are YOU the right person? Do not want to just give it away. My fiance recently passed away and I inherited the collection. Looking to liquidate all of the beer memorabilia.
You can contact our Archivist directly at [email protected]. Thanks for thinking about us.
I realize you are in the process of finding a space for Brew and the process is well underway. Have you considered the former Produce Terminal in the Strip District? The location is central and as of this past March plans are to focus on a portion of the building on foods, craft, creative arts, etc. Brew would be a great fit. See recent Post Gazette article http://www.post-gazette.com/business/development/2017/03/12/Chicago-developer-will-lease-historic-produce-terminal/stories/201703120145 It is URA owned and they are entering into a partnership with McCaffery the developer behind the conversion of the Cork Factory. I’m guessing that you’ve already considered this option, but given recent developments (and the fact that there have been a lot of plans over the years for Produce Terminal), I thought I should mention it.
Is there going to be a ticket for the first brew or just show up. I couldn’t tell from the website.
Looking forward to it.
There will be ticketed admission. Don’t worry, we will keep you posted as the date for opening draws near.
I want to comment regarding your endeavor in finding a location for “Brew”. I am aware that your team is looking for a location to build the museum and you haven’t found a location yet. As a person who works downtown in the hotel and travel industry I am in contact with many guests everyday. Many international and many national. My suggestion to your team is this! The BEST location for “Brew” in my humble opinion would be a location in the STRIP DISTRICT near the Heinz History Center. Think of the scenario here for just one moment.
Pittsburgh at this time does NOT have one area which is truly considered to be a ‘tourist destination’. Most of the ‘tourist’ sites around Pittsburgh are scattered out and about away from the downtown core. Many are rather hard to visit for out-of-towners who do not have a reliable mode of transportation. The Strip is the closest ‘tourist destination’ to Downtown Pittsburgh.
What makes perfect sense to me would be a location in the Strip across from or near Heinz History Center. Currently the site has vacant parking lots. I am also aware that Wigle Whiskey wants to open up a national whiskey museum here in Pittsburgh as well. So, my question is this.
Why not hook up with Wigle to build ‘Brew’ and ‘WAM’ together next to each other near the Heinz History Center in the Strip?? Across from the Homewood Suites hotel?? Talk about a ‘destination’? THERE you would have a true DESTINATION!! Think about it. Thank you for reading.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Eddie. We will certainly consider them in our search process.
My pleasure Joe. You would make a ‘killing’ down in the Strip because of its proximity to Downtown. Moreso, than say..Lawrenceville, Oakland, North Side, Troy Hill, or East Liberty even. Plus the Strip is growing with development. I just wish they could make the Strip a retail district along Smallman Street because of the lack of shopping and retail downtown. Granted Penn Avenue is active during the day with the local shops but Smallman is pretty much underserved.
It would be nice if the city could bring in some national and international retail as well as some local retail to go along with what is currently on Penn Avenue. Smallman Street could open up great opportunities for tourism combined with shopping, museums, interactive events, and hotels as well. Plus Riverlife is redeveloping the riverfront which will add to the process.
Best of luck to you Joe.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Hello everyone! My name is Rocco, and I recently purchased a house in the Central Northside and absolutely LOVE craft beer. I would love to volunteer to help you all with anything you need. Unfortunately, I currently work a full time job, and am hoping to start writing for a beer magazine, so my time is sort of limited, but I am eager to see your project through and hope to help in whatever limited capacity I can. My only discernible skills right now are my writing ability and my drinking abilities, and I am happy to lend them both to you all!
Please let me know if there will be need/opportunity to help, and I look forward to hearing back from you!
Thanks,
Rocco
Thanks, Rocco, and welcome to the neighborhood! We will be happy to put you to work. Contact Debbie, our volunteer coordinator, at [email protected] and she will get you going.
