Beer hopping in the ‘Burgh!

My brother-in-law and I headed out to hit a few local beer bars on Friday night, starting at The Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Crafton, PA.  The Sharp Edge is a beer and food café, with five locations in the Pittsburgh area.  They started out primarily serving Belgian beers, but now offer a good selection of craft and local beers as well.

My beer selections at Sharp Edge were Coronado’s Islander IPA and a Bell Haven Scottish Ale, both good selections, if I do say so myself.

Then we headed downtown to the RiverTowne Pourhouse, located down near Heinz Field.  RiverTowne is a chain of restaurants and brewpubs.  Not all of the locations brew their own beer – they didn’t at this location, but they serve beer brewed at the Monroeville location.

The Old Wylie’s IPA (named after their fish mascot) was decent, good but nothing too special.

Our last stop of the night was the Tilted Kilt, right across from RiverTowne.  The beer selection was nothing special, but the scenery was pretty good!
