Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week in the North!

Looking for something to do this weekend?

The first of many Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week events begins Friday and will continue through April 28. With more than 365 events scheduled, you will have plenty of great choices! There are countless events here in the Northern Pittsburgh Area to choose from, and you can check out all of the events here at the Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week website. 

I would like to focus on two particular venues in the Wexford area that I would recommend visiting during the next nine days, 1 For the Road Tap Room and The Dive Bar & Grille. 

My friends at 1 For the Road Tap Room will be hosting the following breweries and beer samplings all week long:

April 23: 6:30-8:30 p.m., Penn Brewery

April 24: 7- 9 p.m, Meet Jim Hicks from Erie Brewing Company

April 25:  6:30 - 8:30 p.m., Black and Gold Lager along with Thirsty Dog Brewing

April 26: 7- 9 p.m., Oskar Blues
