Saturday Soul Sessions: DJ Mike Canton at Golden Age Beer Co. | June 20

Golden Age Beer Co 337 E. 8th Avenue, Homestead

Saturday Soul Sessions: DJ Mike Canton at Golden Age Beer Co. | June 20 12:00 PM  4:00 PM Golden Age Beer Company337 East 8th AvenueHomestead, PA, 15120United States (map) Saturday Soul Sessions returns with our good friend Mike Canton (a/k/a “Soul Show Mike”) from Pittsburgh’s famed “The Soul Show” (weekly, every Saturday on WZUM Pittsburgh). We’re honored every time Mike drops in to play some deep cuts from his infinite database of funk, soul, and groove tracks.   We love lager. We started Golden Age Beer Co. because we are passionate about making clean and crisp lagers that are eminently drinkable. From crisp Northern German and fragrant Italian-style pilsners to luxurious dunkels and Franconian rauchbiers to the easy-drinking, “lawnmower” American lager, we believe that, with their clean, subtle and eminently-drinkable finesse, lagers are the beers that bring people together, that cross divides, and that are both the past and the future of beer.  And so we brought a brewery that makes lager its primary focus to Pittsburgh and, more particularly, to Homestead.  Indeed, we believe that to do anything else would be an injustice to this community’s hard-working, steely heritage and resolve.  When this community rose up in 1892 to rebuff a barge full […]

Live Jazz with David Throckmorton at Golden Age Beer Co. | Weekly Saturdays 7:00 PM  10:00 PM Golden Age Beer Company337 East 8th AvenueHomestead, PA, 15120United States (map) Join jazz drummer David Throckmorton for a swinging weekend set. We love lager. We started Golden Age Beer Co. because we are passionate about making clean and crisp lagers that are eminently drinkable.
