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.”
