SUMMARY:Mardi Gras at Golden Age Beer Company
DESCRIPTION:Mardi Gras at Golden Age Beer Company \n\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00 PM  10:00 PM\n\n\nGolden Age Beer Company337 East 8th AvenueHomestead\, PA\, 15120\n\nLaissez les bon temps rouler avec nous on the REAL Fat Tuesday\, Tuesday\, February 17. We love New Orleans\, and Mardi Gras\, perhaps the most widely known celebration of its culture ought to be a national holiday. Well\, we’re going to make it one in the Steel Valley anyway. \nNew Orleans is so much more than bourbon street. Its culture is inextricably wound with its music\, its food\, its cocktails\, its beer\, and\, ultimately\, its people and the buoyant celebration of life\, death\, and our tour around this sun and universe. \nWe’re blowing this one out. Let’s start with the tunes. Kicking us off for an early open are our pals from Check Your Bucket\, who play the tightest renditions of classic NOLA funk songs and southern soul around. They’re playing from Noon to 3 p.m. Then\, we’ll have John Gresh Gris Gris from 3:30-6:30\, followed by Paul Cosentino and the Boilermaker Jazz Band from 7-10\, who will play us out in style like they always do\, to a marching rendition of the Saints Go Marching In. \nJ. Malls\,will be spinning two vintage NOLA vinyl from his collection in between all sets and selling some NOLA gems from his deep collection. \nWe’ll also have NOLA cocktails — think Sazeracs and Hurricanes — to buttress our draft list\, including the first tastes of our lenten beers. \nWe’ll also have NOLA food galore\, with Gumbo\, Po’Boys\, Muffuletta sandwiches\, fried okra and cajun spices galore! \nSo leave work early and let’s do this right to pay our favorite city the homage it deserves. \nProst! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe love lager.\n\n\n\n\nWe started Golden Age Beer Co. because we are passionate about making clean and crisp lagers that are eminently drinkable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom 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 on the banks of the Monongahela.  We hope that we can stand in solidarity with this community once more as it continues on its path to a new golden age. \nOur brewhouse is well-equipped to produce the finest lagers.  We are fortunate to brew on a state-of-the-art 15 barrel BrauKon brewing system.  Bavarian-made and designed to manufacture the world’s most precise beer styles\, this system provides our brewing team with the tools it needs to walk the tightrope to make perfect lager\, which is defined nearly as much by its absence of imperfections as it is by its pursuit of perfection.  In what feels like a meeting driven by fate itself\, we were fortunate to find a head brewer who is up to the challenge of working with a system that has a lofty reputation for precision and finesse. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Head Brewer Aaron Dahl\nHead Brewer Aaron Dahl joined Golden Age in 2021 to oversee the transition of the brew house and begin working on recipe development.  Aaron comes from Chicago’s Alarmist Brewing\, where he was the head brewer for six years prior to moving to Pittsburgh to head the Golden Age Beer team. In the past several years\, Aaron has earned three medals in the Great American Beer Festival:  in 2018\, the Gold Medal in the Hazy IPA category for “Le Jus;” in 2020\, the Bronze Medal for the Pale Ale category for “Pantsless Pale Ale;” and\, in 2021\, the Bronze Medal in the American Lager category for “Midwest Royalty.” He has dedicated his professional life to beer.  And while he can produce some of the best IPAs and Pale Ales in the country\, over the past several years\, his passion — like ours — has turned towards lagers\, and he is excited to run a brew house that is dedicated to and designed for the same passion. \nGolden Age Beer Co. is located in historic Homestead\, Pennsylvania\, just outside of Pittsburgh. Founded by the same people behind Pittsburgh’s beer bars the Independent Brewing Company and Lorelei\, Golden Age is dedicated to providing its community with an inclusive\, accepting\, safe and hospitable environment that focuses on people as much as it does great beer. \nWe are an equal opportunity employer that guarantees a living wage to everyone who works here. We welcome dogs and children.
