An American Lager just as American as our beloved Pirates. Light bodied, light in color and just the right amount of flavor to quench any beer drinker's thirst. This beer pays homage to our first baseball team, the Pittsburgh Burghers. They played for only one year in 1890 before the leagues consolidated and they became the Pirates. Before becoming the pirates the Burghers did some shady trading to acquire a big time player from another team and the news characterized their actions as 'piratical' and the Pirates name stuck to this day.

All the alphas in Azzaca, Citra, and El Dorado were dumped into the smashing cone for this one! Big flavor, big beer! We throwing a shoutout to the former Westinghouse Atom smasher that was located in the Forrest Hills burbs to research peaceful atomic energy production for civilian power. It was used in 1940 to discover the photofission of uranium and thorium.

Aufstöin to all my friends! A.k.a. Cheers! This German Oktoberfest Festbier-style lager balances doughy maltiness with drinkability.

Oktoberfest began in celebration of the marriage of King Ludwig and Princess Therese in 1810 and has endured ever since. In Bayerische, the colloquial Bavarian dialect and specific to Oktoberfest which is referred to locally as Wiesn, Aufstoin is an exclamation that means for one to donate a beer to someone else.

Simple, elegant, and restrained. Soft notes of fresh bread with a mild lingering sweetness that is kept in measure by slight noble hop bitterness. Named in tribute to the monolithic steel superstructures that remain from the Carrie Furnace site in Rankin, PA. These 13 story behemoth blast furnaces were built in 1884 and named after women in the family of the original owners as was convention for naming furnaces then. They produced steel for many high profile projects such as the Empire State Building, battleship Missouri, Gateway Arch, Sears Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Panama Canal, United Nations Building, George Washington Bridge, and the Alaska oil pipeline; producing up to 1250 tons of iron a day until closing in 1978.

Coltivare translated from Italian means to cultivate, to grow. This single word was chosen to represent your beer because it envelopes who you are – always tilling the landscape and the minds of those you are near to plant ideas, feed passion, and harvest effort. You are always seeking growth within yourself, becoming better with every passing season, weathering early frost and harsh climate. May you continue to grow well beyond these forty few years and continue sharing all of the flower and fruit life has to offer. Happy Birthday, Fiore!

Vic Secret, El Dorado and Mosaic hops bring the pillowy soft hazy fruit. Remember that crazy bastard who jumped a station wagon 190 feet off the unfinished Fort Duquesne bridge over the Allegheny to the North Shore and walked away back in ‘64? This beer is for that guy.

Google the "smoke control lantern slides" for a before and after look.

Pittsburgh is more than a city," declared Herbert Casson in his popular history The Romance of Steel (1907). It was "the acme of activity," "an industrial cyclone," a region of "sweat and gold," a singular place where labor became "an untiring fury to produce." As awe-inspiring as the Grand Canyon, Pittsburgh possessed the "secret of perpetual energy which science cannot explain." Another popular image put it simply: "Pittsburgh is hell with the lid off."
