Penn Brewery

PENN BREWERY

Penn Brewery tells the story of Pittsburgh’s European immigrants through its craft beer and homemade cuisine. Pittsburgh’s oldest and largest brewery, Penn is housed in the mid nineteenth-century landmark E&O Brewery Building in the North Side’s Deutschtown neighborhood. Penn has been producing high-end craft beers since 1986, specializing in authentic, award-winning German-style beers brewed in the tradition of these immigrants. 

Year Round Brews 

PENN PILSNER

An amber-colored Vienna-style lager beer. Soft, elegant, and complex, with just enough Noble hop presence to provide a balanced finish. 

PENN DARK 

A surprisingly light and smooth lager. A complex array of caramel and chocolate as well as slightly roasted malty notes. 

PENN IPA 

A very robust, hoppy beer made with a blend of seven different hops. 

PENN AMERICAN PALE ALE 

Reformulated pale ale based on the Allegheny Pale Ale’s solid foundation for drink-ability and rich flavor. 

PENN WEIZEN 

A very refreshing and effervescent unfiltered ale. Pronounced banana and clove aromatics and flavors. 

PENN GOLD 

A clean, light-colored lager with little to no hop presence. Five-time Great American Beer Festival® winner, including four gold medals. 

PENN KAISER PILS 

A clean, crisp, light-bodied lager featuring a very healthy dose of Noble hops. 

Seasonal Brews

PENN PUMPKIN ROLL ALE 

This deep orange-colored ale is made with real pumpkin puree and overflows with the rich flavors and fragrances of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger. 

PENN OKTOBERFEST 

A rich, gold-colored Munich-style fest beer. This medium-bodied lager uses a combination of caramel and roasted malts to produce a well-balancd beer that finishes very clean. 

PENN NUT ROLL ALE 

A semi-sweet nut brown ale spiced with cinnamon and vanilla. Reminiscent of the nut rolls Grandma used to bake. 

PENN ST. NIKOLAUS BOCK BIER 

A very rich, strong, malty lager, dark ruby in color with notes of chocolate and roasted malts. 

PENN MARZEN 

This full-bodied amber lager is similar to our Oktoberfest beer, but darker and more complex. One of beer critic Michael Jackson’s “Top 24 Favorite American Beers.”
