ABV is our weekly series that highlights a different beer from a local Pittsburgh brewery every week. Check out our past picks here.
For our 2020 grand finale, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite stories from the past year about Pittsburgh beer.
That’s right. It’s an end-of-year recap piece for folks who may have missed some of the notable moments in our local beer scene. From bike quests to virtual beer fests, the pandemic did little to stop Pittsburgh’s vibrant brewing scene.
What else would you add to the list? What was the best beer you tried this year? What are you looking forward to in 2021? We’d love to hear from you!
