ABV is our weekly series that highlights a different beer from a local Pittsburgh brewery every week. Check out our past picks here.
Updated Dec 1, 2020: With the recent surge in COVID-19 cases around Allegheny County, we know folks are taking the pandemic more seriously and opting to stay home. With that in mind, we thought it would be both timely and responsible to update our “local breweries who offer beer delivery” guide.
Beer friends! Many of you have reached out asking about delivery options from local breweries.
Well, we listened and decided to round up what’s available and from whom – specifically as it relates to beer delivery.
So, whether you’re preparing for a Zoom happy hour, or just having a beer with friends over FaceTime – here’s a look at how to get (local) beer delivered right to your doorstep.
A couple of things to bear in mind as you place an order for (beer) delivery.
Pro Tip: Our friends at the Pittsburgh Brewers Guild are posting weekly updates from local breweries. They’ve built this page on their website dedicated to both curbside takeout AND delivery options from local breweries who are members of the guild.
Additionally, the Pittsburgh Brewers Guild Facebook page is a great resource for updates and local beer news.

Strange Roots actually has three ways to get you their beer right now. One is conventional curbside pickup – which is available at both of their locations. This includes all bottles, cans and merch.
The other two methods involve home delivery. You can browse their online bottle shop (‘PA Statewide Shipping‘ tab on their website) and this is where you’ll find all the details on getting their bottled beer delivered to your doorstep (must be a Pennsylvania resident). Finally, Pittsburgh-area residents can opt for Local Delivery and get bottles or cans delivered to addresses in the following zip codes: 15139, 15147, 15201, 15206, 15208, 15209, 15212, 15213, 15214, 15215, 15217, 15219, 15221, 15222, 15223, 15224, 15232, 15238. Local orders under $50 carry a $7.99 delivery fee. Local orders greater than $50 carry a $4.99 delivery fee. Orders go out for delivery on Fridays (so get those orders placed by end of day Thursday).
