The emotional landscape was too raw for most folks to want to celebrate what the steel industry once was\, especially when it was painfully obvious that this ‘industrial downturn’ reflected permanent change. \nLong story short: those citizens organized as a task force.

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.

Paul is known globally for his enthusiastic\, energetic\, and powerful performances. \nPaul Cosentino founded the Boilermaker Jazz Band in 1988. Paul has also been featured as a soloist with many of the top bands in the swing world today\, including a special appearance with the Jonathan Stout All-Star Big Band during an Artie Shaw tribute set. Paul has also been featured with Glen Crytzer’s Rhythm Makers\, Michael Gambles Rhythm Serenaders\, the Gordon Webster Band\, Naomi and Her Handsome Devils\, the Russ Wilson Swingtet\, Clint Baker’s Golden Gate Swing Band\, and many more. He has also led a number of All-Star groups. \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.

SUMMARY:10 Things to Actually Do in Steel Valley This Summer!
DESCRIPTION:10 Things to Actually Do in Steel Valley This Summer!\n \nSummer is one of the best times to explore everything the Steel Valley has to offer. Whether you’re a longtime resident\, a newcomer to the area\, or someone looking for things to do near Pittsburgh\, Homestead\, Munhall\, and West Homestead are filled with unique experiences\, local events\, outdoor recreation\, arts\, entertainment\, and community celebrations. \nTo help you plan your summer\, we’ve put together ten great ways to experience the Steel Valley. \n1. Walk\, Run or Bike the GAP Trail\n \nThe Great Allegheny Passage (GAP Trail) is one of the region’s greatest outdoor assets. Stretching from Pittsburgh to Cumberland\, Maryland\, the trail passes directly through the Steel Valley and offers beautiful river views\, historic landmarks\, and easy access to local businesses\, restaurants\, and attractions. \nWhether you’re walking\, jogging\, biking\, or simply enjoying the scenery\, the GAP Trail is a perfect way to experience the community. \n2. Explore & Experience History\n \nFew communities can tell the story of American industry like the Steel Valley.  \nVisit Rivers of Steel destinations including the historic Pump House and Carrie Blast Furnaces. Take a guided tour\, attend a workshop\, explore industrial art experiences\, or learn how steelmaking helped shape not only our region but the nation itself. \nThese sites continue to attract visitors from around the world while preserving the area’s remarkable history. \n3. Celebrate 125 Years of Munhall & West Homestead Boroughs\n \nBoth Munhall and West Homestead are celebrating their 125th anniversaries in 2026. \nThroughout the summer\, residents and visitors can participate in special events\, celebrations\, historical programs\, and community gatherings honoring the people\, neighborhoods\, and businesses that helped build these communities. \nMunhall celebrates on June 13\, while West Homestead’s anniversary festivities take place August 13–15. \n4. Catch a Show on a Local Stage\n \nThe Steel Valley has become home to an impressive collection of entertainment venues and performance spaces. \nCatch local performers at The Glitterbox Theater and Forge Urban Winery\, or enjoy legendary bands\, musicians\, and entertainers at the historic Carnegie Library of Homestead Music Hall or nationally touring comedians and acts at the Pittsburgh Improv! \nNo matter your interests\, there is likely a show happening nearby. \n5. Discover Local Murals & Public Art\n \nThe Steel Valley has quietly become one of the most colorful outdoor galleries in the region. \nMurals\, public art installations\, painted walls\, and creative placemaking projects can be found throughout Homestead\, Munhall\, and West Homestead. Spend an afternoon exploring the neighborhoods and see how artists are helping tell the story of the community through public art. \n6. Spend a Night at Market Nights\n \nMunhall Market Nights have quickly become one of the area’s favorite summer traditions. \nFeaturing food trucks\, local vendors\, live entertainment\, community organizations\, and family activities\, these gatherings bring hundreds of people together throughout the summer. \nUpcoming dates include June 26\, July 24\, and August 28. \n7. Experience Arts & Education\n \nSummer is a great time to learn something new. \nTake a class\, attend a workshop\, visit a library program\, participate in a community event\, or experience educational programming offered by organizations such as the Carnegie Library of Homestead\, Best of the Batch Foundation\, Dragon’s Den\, Eberle Studios\, B is for Books\, and many others throughout the Steel Valley. \n8. Celebrate with Community\n \nCommunity events remain at the heart of the Steel Valley experience. \nFrom the Knights Barbershop Block Party and Homestead Community Day to neighborhood fundraisers\, concerts\, races\, festivals\, and community celebrations\, summer is when residents come together to celebrate what makes these communities special. \n9. Explore Our Parks & Green Spaces\n \nThe Steel Valley offers more green space than many people realize. \nNeighborhood parks\, playgrounds\, athletic fields\, walking paths\, and riverfront areas provide opportunities to relax\, exercise\, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re spending time with family\, walking the dog\, or attending a community event\, local parks remain an important part of summer life. \n10. Your Summer Starts Here\n \nOf course\, these ten ideas are only the beginning. \nSteelValleyEvents.com was created to help residents and visitors discover everything happening throughout Homestead\, Munhall\, and West Homestead. From events and festivals to restaurants\, shops\, attractions\, business spotlights\, and interactive maps\, the site serves as a local guide to exploring the Steel Valley. \nWhether you’re looking for something to do this weekend\, planning a visit\, supporting local businesses\, or discovering a new favorite destination\, SteelValleyEvents.com is your starting point. \nGet out\, explore\, support local\, and enjoy summer in the Steel Valley!

Homestead’s legacy provides us with important lessons about the fortunes of industrial development and organized labor in America. \nAmity Homestead was the name given by John McClure to a quaint county seat which he built in the bend of the Monongahela a mile or so below Braddock’s Crossing and ten miles from Pittsburgh in Mifflin Township. John passed the picturesque place on to his son John and through him to his grandson Abdiel. \nAt one time\, the area of Homestead was generally bounded by Ann Street to the west and McClure Street to the east\, the riverfront to the north and East 12th Avenue to the south.  This made up the estate of the McClure family. The huge McClure home stood approximately between East 9th Avenue and East 10th Avenue\, with a large lawn fronting Eighth Avenue. The easterly property boundary at McClure Street was the dividing line between Homestead Borough and what was then Mifflin Township\, and now Munhall Borough. \nIn the 1850s\, the McClure family\, hoping to raise personal funds\, organized a land title company with other early landowners and began to subdivide their sizeable property holdings. Today\, this recorded plan of lots bears the McClure family name. Around 1890\, a typical lot of 50 feet by 100 feet in this neighborhood would have cost approximately $2\,500 and one of these homes was estimated to have cost between $5\,000 and $20\,000 to build. The City of Pittsburgh was looking for property to erect its new Poor Farm in 1850 and bought 150 acres from Abdiel McClure. \nIn 1872\, Abdiel sold 113 acres to a banking and insurance company and a town was forthwith laid out and called Homestead. The first sale of lots was made to all the old-time accompaniments of a brass band and free junketing and the Pittsburgh\, Virginia and Charleston Railroad building across the empty lots the following year. The town took a good start and bade fair\, soon to grow as big as the older places in the region. But the panic of 1873 came and gave it a setback from which it took long to recover. In 1879 there were less than six hundred inhabitants. Munhall was incorporated as a borough in 1901. \nIn 1879\, Kloman decided to build a mill of their own. They bought a small tract of land adjoining the City Poor Farm at Homestead and commenced the erection of a building 684 feet long by 85 feet wide to contain a 21 inch mill\, two Universal mills\, a 16 inch bar train and a muck train. At the same time the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company bought 40 to 50 acres of land adjoining the Kloman’s and commenced the erection of converting works and blooming mills. These two concerns were designed to work together\, Kloman taking the surplus product and the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company working it into structural shapes. \nThe first steel for this plant was made on March 19\, 1881\, and the first rail on August 9\, 1881. Before the mill was quite completed\, however\, Kloman died. The Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company at once purchased Kloman’s unfinished mill. By September 1881\, they were turning out 200 tons of rails daily. The Carnegies looked on with surprise and alarm. Up to this time\, they had been the only makers of rail in the Pittsburgh district. Here was competition at their very door! \nIn June 1882\, the Amalgamated Association Workers went on strike against the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company. At this time\, the price of steel was rapidly falling and\, alarmed by the imminent call for more capital\, some of the Homestead stockholders hastened to get out of the company. They went to the Carnegies and offered them control of the mill in October of 1883. The Homestead Mills became property of the Carnegie Group\, at this time\, the best-equipped plants of its size in the country. \nThe old Pittsburgh City Poor Farm had out-grown itself and the City of Pittsburgh sold approximately 148 acres to the Carnegie Land Company in 1891. A new facility was built for the City of Pittsburgh known as Marshalea was occupied in 1894. \nThe Carnegie Land Company\, a subsidiary of Carnegie Steel\, purchased properties in the area from the McClure\, Hayes and Munhall families to expand the Homestead Works and to sell lots for the construction of homes to its workers. \nThe Munhall Brothers laid out a plan of lots\, sold lots to mill employees\, and constructed houses for rental or purchase by employees in “Munhall Hollow” (present day Ravine Street). \nIn 1901\, the scene was set for the incorporation of Munhall Borough\, which was named for John Munhall. It embraces a section known popularly as “East Homestead”\, Munhall Station and the steel properties which were by that time in the control of United States Steel Corporation. \nThe City Farm Plan of lots stretched from the riverfront in a pie-shape\, up the hill from McClure Street to the West and to Martha Street to the East. It ended at a point at what is now the vicinity of 17th Avenue. A section of this large tract of land\, the area in the vicinity of the Carnegie Library\, was developed as the elite area of Homestead and Munhall from the 1890s to about 1920. \nWhile in New York City\, Andrew Carnegie met the designer of Central Park\, Fredrick Law Olmstead. He hired Olmstead to come to visit Homestead and lay out a plan of homes around his proposed new library. Carnegie believed in the future and made plans for many of his projects in this manner. Olmstead laid out broad streets with space for parking and still provided for two lane vehicular traffic. Olmstead believed in providing “green space” that was often forgotten about in fast growing city areas of that time. Utilities for the planned homes were through the rear of the properties. In this manner\, all homes were visually correct and pleasing to the eye. \nThe large grouping of huge company-built homes included the residence for the Superintendent of the Homestead Steel Works and for each manager of the major steel works departments.

SUMMARY:Munhall Borough 125th Anniversary Celebration at the Steel Valley School Campus | June 13th\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Munhall Borough 125th Anniversary Celebration at the Steel Valley School Campus | June 13th\, 2026\nMunhall is turning 125 — and we’re throwing a celebration you won’t want to miss! \nMark your calendars for June 13\, 2026 as we celebrate 125 years of Munhall Borough at Steel Valley High School. This all‑day community event will be packed with:\n Food Games Vendor Booths Live Entertainment Fun for Everyone\n Evening Highlight: Don’t miss the 125th Anniversary Drone Show lighting up the night sky!\n\nWe’re also accepting vendor and sponsor applications — a great way to get involved and support this milestone celebration.\nYou can stay in touch with updates here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583124584239\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMunhall’s story spans nearly two centuries\, beginning the late 1700s with early settlers and the formation of a community. The area progresses due to the massive investment in the late 1800s by a handful of industrialists\, then has decades of both prosperity and decline. Homestead’s legacy provides us with important lessons about the fortunes of industrial development and organized labor in America. \nAmity Homestead was the name given by John McClure to a quaint county seat which he built in the bend of the Monongahela a mile or so below Braddock’s Crossing and ten miles from Pittsburgh in Mifflin Township. John passed the picturesque place on to his son John and through him to his grandson Abdiel. \nAt one time\, the area of Homestead was generally bounded by Ann Street to the west and McClure Street to the east\, the riverfront to the north and East 12th Avenue to the south.  This made up the estate of the McClure family. The huge McClure home stood approximately between East 9th Avenue and East 10th Avenue\, with a large lawn fronting Eighth Avenue. The easterly property boundary at McClure Street was the dividing line between Homestead Borough and what was then Mifflin Township\, and now Munhall Borough. \nIn the 1850s\, the McClure family\, hoping to raise personal funds\, organized a land title company with other early landowners and began to subdivide their sizeable property holdings. Today\, this recorded plan of lots bears the McClure family name. Around 1890\, a typical lot of 50 feet by 100 feet in this neighborhood would have cost approximately $2\,500 and one of these homes was estimated to have cost between $5\,000 and $20\,000 to build. The City of Pittsburgh was looking for property to erect its new Poor Farm in 1850 and bought 150 acres from Abdiel McClure. \nIn 1872\, Abdiel sold 113 acres to a banking and insurance company and a town was forthwith laid out and called Homestead. The first sale of lots was made to all the old-time accompaniments of a brass band and free junketing and the Pittsburgh\, Virginia and Charleston Railroad building across the empty lots the following year. The town took a good start and bade fair\, soon to grow as big as the older places in the region. But the panic of 1873 came and gave it a setback from which it took long to recover. In 1879 there were less than six hundred inhabitants. Munhall was incorporated as a borough in 1901. \nIn 1879\, Kloman decided to build a mill of their own. They bought a small tract of land adjoining the City Poor Farm at Homestead and commenced the erection of a building 684 feet long by 85 feet wide to contain a 21 inch mill\, two Universal mills\, a 16 inch bar train and a muck train. At the same time the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company bought 40 to 50 acres of land adjoining the Kloman’s and commenced the erection of converting works and blooming mills. These two concerns were designed to work together\, Kloman taking the surplus product and the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company working it into structural shapes. \nThe first steel for this plant was made on March 19\, 1881\, and the first rail on August 9\, 1881. Before the mill was quite completed\, however\, Kloman died. The Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company at once purchased Kloman’s unfinished mill. By September 1881\, they were turning out 200 tons of rails daily. The Carnegies looked on with surprise and alarm. Up to this time\, they had been the only makers of rail in the Pittsburgh district. Here was competition at their very door! \nIn June 1882\, the Amalgamated Association Workers went on strike against the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company. At this time\, the price of steel was rapidly falling and\, alarmed by the imminent call for more capital\, some of the Homestead stockholders hastened to get out of the company. They went to the Carnegies and offered them control of the mill in October of 1883. The Homestead Mills became property of the Carnegie Group\, at this time\, the best-equipped plants of its size in the country. \nThe old Pittsburgh City Poor Farm had out-grown itself and the City of Pittsburgh sold approximately 148 acres to the Carnegie Land Company in 1891. A new facility was built for the City of Pittsburgh known as Marshalea was occupied in 1894. \nThe Carnegie Land Company\, a subsidiary of Carnegie Steel\, purchased properties in the area from the McClure\, Hayes and Munhall families to expand the Homestead Works and to sell lots for the construction of homes to its workers. \nThe Munhall Brothers laid out a plan of lots\, sold lots to mill employees\, and constructed houses for rental or purchase by employees in “Munhall Hollow” (present day Ravine Street). \nIn 1901\, the scene was set for the incorporation of Munhall Borough\, which was named for John Munhall. It embraces a section known popularly as “East Homestead”\, Munhall Station and the steel properties which were by that time in the control of United States Steel Corporation. \nThe City Farm Plan of lots stretched from the riverfront in a pie-shape\, up the hill from McClure Street to the West and to Martha Street to the East. It ended at a point at what is now the vicinity of 17th Avenue. A section of this large tract of land\, the area in the vicinity of the Carnegie Library\, was developed as the elite area of Homestead and Munhall from the 1890s to about 1920. \nWhile in New York City\, Andrew Carnegie met the designer of Central Park\, Fredrick Law Olmstead. He hired Olmstead to come to visit Homestead and lay out a plan of homes around his proposed new library. Carnegie believed in the future and made plans for many of his projects in this manner. Olmstead laid out broad streets with space for parking and still provided for two lane vehicular traffic. Olmstead believed in providing “green space” that was often forgotten about in fast growing city areas of that time. Utilities for the planned homes were through the rear of the properties. In this manner\, all homes were visually correct and pleasing to the eye. \nThe large grouping of huge company-built homes included the residence for the Superintendent of the Homestead Steel Works and for each manager of the major steel works departments. Open Hearths\, Rolling Mills\, Bessemer Department\, Blast Furnaces\, Production Planning\, etc. The home was made part of the Manager’s employment package. The mill supplied the electricity and natural gas services to these homes as well as the Library\, until the late 1940s.

Paul plays an antique Albert System clarinet\, which gives him a wonderfully distinctive sound not often heard on today’s bandstands. In addition to providing vocals\, Paul also splits time on the alto and tenor saxophones. Paul has an extensive repertoire of tunes encompassing the Great American Songbook- written by some of the best-known composers of American popular song. He is also well versed in early New Orleans jazz\, the Swing Era\, big band riffs\, and everything in between. Paul is known globally for his enthusiastic\, energetic\, and powerful performances. \nPaul Cosentino founded the Boilermaker Jazz Band in 1988. Paul has also been featured as a soloist with many of the top bands in the swing world today\, including a special appearance with the Jonathan Stout All-Star Big Band during an Artie Shaw tribute set. Paul has also been featured with Glen Crytzer’s Rhythm Makers\, Michael Gambles Rhythm Serenaders\, the Gordon Webster Band\, Naomi and Her Handsome Devils\, the Russ Wilson Swingtet\, Clint Baker’s Golden Gate Swing Band\, and many more. He has also led a number of All-Star groups. \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.
