Brew Gentlemen
Description
Nestled in Braddock, Brew Gentlemen is celebrated for inventive, consistently excellent craft beers—from spruce‑tinged IPAs to bold barrel‑aged releases—served in a cozy industrial‑rustic taproom with indoor/outdoor seating and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Regular events, a six‑pack shop, growler/fowler fills and free parking make it an inviting hangout and a showcase for Pittsburgh’s brewing scene. Note: the neighborhood can feel rough after dark, and the space is intimate rather than large-scale.

First was the Trees, a spruce IPA with a hazy twist. This distinctive brew offered a delightful mix of flavors, highlighted by the notable taste of spruce that added a refreshing and surprisingly delicious element. It struck a perfect balance between the familiar bitterness of an IPA and the earthy essence of nature, making each sip a flavorful adventure. Next was the Double Brock Barrel Aged, a bold choice with an impressive 9.5% ABV. From the very first sip, it was clear that this beer was something exceptional. Rich, complex, and utterly delicious, it teased the palate with layers of flavor, a testament to the skill and expertise of the brewers. With its smooth mouthfeel and robust character, this beer was meant to be enjoyed slowly, with every sip revealing new heights of flavor. What truly enhanced the experience was the ambiance of the brewery. Visiting on a quiet evening allowed us to enjoy attentive and friendly service, which contributed to the overall warmth and charm of the place. It reminded me why Brew Gentleman has such a special place in its patrons' hearts—not just for its outstanding beers, but for the inviting atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. As I reluctantly said goodbye to Brew Gentleman, I found myself promising to return sooner rather than later. With its convenient location just 30 minutes away, it's a hidden gem that's definitely worth visiting more often. Whether you're a seasoned beer lover or just looking for a memorable night out, Brew Gentleman offers an experience that's truly worth savoring.
Great beers! I'm a big IPA fan, so this was the place for me. Very cozy and local vibe, everyone feels welcome.
Amazing atmosphere, great beer, and wonderful people. We grabbed some burritos at brassero grill down the block, which is bomb, and hung out at brew gentlemen. A+, Pittsburgh gem.
Great looking, fun taproom. Now with a beer garden as well. Good, solid beers. I have been to Brew Gentlemen in the past, but not for a while. I literally live about five minutes away and just don't find myself going here often. We met some friends on Saturday for some drinks. It was pretty crowded when we got there, then cleared out for a bit and started to get busier. They had food trucks parked out front so we were able to get something to eat as well. I had been hoping to try V, their anniversary imperial porter. It had been listed on the website still the day before but it was out before we got there. I'm definitely a dark beer drinker so really didn't have any of my preferred styles. The tap list does tend to run IPA heavy. Their dark beers are delicious, I just wish they had more of them. I just had a few beers that night. I had White Sky, a Chai wheat beer which I have had before. It is always enjoyable. The Chai spices give this beer a unique taste without being overpowering. It's an easy drinking beer, which I could drink all day. Since I wanted to try something new I also tried the Maibock. It was good, but probably not something I would drink more than one of. It just isn't a style I would gravitate towards. I took a peek at the beer garden before leaving. The bartender had told us you can keep your tab open to go between the two. Personally I stayed inside (which they had open with the nice weather). The beer garden is plastic cups and I just have a thing with drinking my beer out of a real glass. I love that there is such a great brewery so close to me. I wish I had the opportunity to try more dark beers. I will keep an eye out on Facebook for beer releases and hopefully make it down there for some.
Pittsburgh and surrounding areas have so many breweries and pubs popping up these days that it can be hard to keep up or know which are good and which are just ok. Brew Gentlemen is one of my most favorite breweries. They always put out a stellar product. I've not once been disappointed or had something that I thought was mediocre. They consistently create delicious craft beers that rival any other brewer in the country. I don't get over here as often as I'd like so when I do it's like Christmas for me. If you have friends/family visiting from outside of the area this is a great place to showcase what the region has to offer in terms of solid, delicious and creative beers. In addition it's just a fun place it hang out. The space is very industrial/rustic which I absolutely love. It's not as big as some of the newer breweries popping up but I like the cozy layout. Even when it's packed it's easy to move from the restaurant style seating area to bar or the back room near the bathrooms and actual brewing room. Show Braddock and the folks at Brew Gentlemen some love with a visit!
