Drew’s Clues Trivia at Golden Age Beer Co. | Every Wednesday

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

Drew's Clues Trivia at Golden Age Beer Co. | Every Wednesday 7:00 PM  9:00 PM Golden Age Beer Company 337 East 8th Avenue Homestead, PA, 15120 United States (map) Every Wednesday, Pittsburgh’s best trivia master hosts a brain-busting trivia at Golden Age. Drink beers. Answer questions. Win prizes! Teams of up to six welcome. 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 of armed Pinkertons, it was fueled by Homestead-brewed lager, while the very brewers who crafted that lager stood in solidarity with their steel-worker brethren […]
