ABV is our weekly series that highlights a different beer from a local Pittsburgh brewery every week. Check out our past picks here.
Although I love drinking beer and writing about it, this week’s edition of ABV takes a slight deviation from our regularly scheduled programming.
About a year ago – in the Before Times™ – we saw the rise of craft seltzer and the ways seltzer intersected with the brewing community. Pittsburgh-based breweries – including Mindful Brewing, Couch Brewery and others – began to dabble in the seltzer space.
Best part of all, our gluten-free friends could hit the brewery and ACTUALLY drink something manufactured on-site that wasn’t a cider, mead, wine or cocktail.
And that brings us to today – a fun look at another fun drink. Here are seven Pittsburgh-area breweries where you can try a locally made craft seltzer.

Yellow Bridge is open for takeout and they’ve got limited seating for on-site consumption both inside and outside (look for the picnic table section to the right of the taproom).
