A love of craft beer, a big table, and the stubborn conviction that great local brewers deserve a bigger spotlight.
It started informally — gathering friends, opening bottles, and inviting a brewer to explain what made each one different. The conversations never wanted to end.

Craft Beer School now runs regular ticketed events, each featuring a different Pittsburgh-area brewery. The format is simple: great food, great beer, and the people who made it — talking about why it matters.
Pittsburgh has one of the most vibrant and underrated craft beer scenes in the country. Craft Beer School exists to celebrate exactly that — to shine a light on the brewers, the process, and the community that makes this city's beer culture worth raising a glass to. Cheers to that.
