- I've been to the brewpub in the Northside twice; they had two pilsners,
- an alt and a helles last time I was there (the day after thanksgiving this
- year); a munich dark the last time I was there (summer 1991). All in all,
- pretty decent beers. The alt and the munich dark were memorable, even.
- The pilsners were both good; one was the Penn and other a 'higher class'
- one, as they seemed to bill it. It was maybe slightly stronger but nearly
- the same, as I recall.
-
- So as a native Pittsburgher, I think you've got something to be proud
- of (other than those 'Guins, of course :-)
