Pittsburgh celebrates 1st ever Craft Beer Week

Craft beer isn't for everyone, of course. But chances are your all-time favorite beer is still out there, somewhere, waiting for you to find it. The question is -- where do you start? The first-ever Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week seems like it might be a good place to begin. This week, at dozens of locations throughout the region, there will be beer tastings, beer pairing dinners, "meet the brewers" sessions, and other special events, including several all-new "collaboration" beers made by mixed crews from various local brewers.

Craft Beer - The Rise Of The Microbrewery

Craft or often referred to boutique beers are becoming more and more popular due the fact that people are starting to get sick and tired of the commercial beer which the major breweries in the world keep pumping out every year.

A craft beer is known to be a beer which has been produced by a microbrewery or a craft brewer which is produced in a brewery which can only produce a limited amount of beer and the brewers are known to strive for innovation and uniqueness.
