Description
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

At the penn brewpub at the pittsburgh airport. Big & black $7 draft. Nice head. Nice roasty nose as well. Slight burnt bitterness but its well behaved. Civilized dark beer. Hints of old damp previously burned campfire wood. Burnt wood sensation settles in in the end.

Draft at Penn Brewery In Gate A, Pittsburgh, PA airport. Clear gold color with a small white head. Very fruity aroma. The taste is not as fruity as the nose. Slightly harsh acidic finish. Okay. The finish drags down the rating.
