W. Pennsylvania’s Beer Legacy
With the recent buyout of Rolling Rock and bankruptcy of Pittsburgh Brewing Co., it’s sometimes easy to forget the long beer legacy in Western Pennsylvania and to think that it might dry up. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review takes a positive stance on the future of local breweries and feels that the entire industry will soon pop.
Whether it’s set in a transformation of Pittsburgh Brewing Co. like Yuengling in Eastern Pennsylvania managed or it’s based on the growth of smaller brewers like Penn Brewery and Church Brew Works, it’ll happen due to the current market and the incredible history. In fact, the first business in Pittsburgh was a brewery in 1794, and the area has been the home to more than 150 breweries since the mid-1800s. With that kind of history, how could things possibly go wrong?
