Do you miss bellying up to the bar at your favorite brewery, and enjoying a fresh brew? So do we. But while we still can’t enjoy a drink indoors at most bars and breweries quite yet, there are plenty of outdoor breweries in Pittsburgh with newly-expanded space…. and plans to stay open well into the Fall.
