SUMMARY:Historic Rauchbier Preservation Day & Biergarten BBQ Weekend at Golden Age Beer Co. | July 23-26
DESCRIPTION:Historic Rauchbier Preservation Day & Biergarten BBQ Weekend at Golden Age Beer Co. | July 23-26\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, July 23\, 2026 4:00 PM\nSunday\, July 26\, 2026 8:00 PM\n\nWe are blessed to have great friends\, and among them\, is the famed brewery Aecht Schlenkerla brewery in Bamberg\, Germany. For six generations\, the family of braumeister and owner Matthias Trum has dedicated themselves to the preservation of Bamberg’s historic rauchbier (“smoke beer”) by producing legendary lagers that blur the line between beer and bbq\, using malts they smoke in house\, predominantly over beechwood. Their beers are beyond iconic\, and\, together with another small Bamberg brewery\, the equally renowned Brauerei Spezial\, it is one of the last two historic rauchbier maltsters and brewers remaining in Germany. \nEach year\, Schlenkerla celebrates International Rauchbier Day on July 23rd. Golden Age is proud to join that celebration by serving Rauchbier from Schlenkerla\, Spezial\, and a special batch of pale Rauchbier that we have brewed ourselves for the occasion. Our kitchen is joining into the smoked fun with a menu of German Barbecue\, which will feature smoked sausage\, smoked pork belly skewers and more. \nWith so much great beer to drink and BBQ to eat\, we decided to make a full weekend out of the celebration\, extending it from Thursday\, July 23rd through Sunday\, July 26th. We will\, as always feature live entertainment throughout the entire weekend\, and\, enjoy as much of the festivities in the biergarten as the weather permits. \nTo kick-off the festivities\, we will be serving Golden Age Historiches Rauchbier from a gravity keg that we will tap at 4 p.m. on Thursday\, July 23. Last summer\, our Head Brewer Aaron Dahl had the opportunity to spend an evening at Schlenkerla\, where he toured the facilities and dined with Matthias himself\, and learned more about traditional rauchbier production methods from a brewer who has dedicated his life to preserving those techniques. In celebration of this year’s Historic Rauchbier Preservation Day\, Aaron has brewed a beer dedicated to his experience at Schlenkerla. That beer is a pale\, low-gravity lager featuring beechwood smoked pilsner malt and Munich malt from our friends at Sugar Creek Malts in Indiana. At just 4.5%\, this historic rauchbier style is almost like a Märzen brewed for summer consumption\, and\, it is the perfect accompaniment with summer bbq. \nWe look forward to hosting you. As always\, events at Golden Age are free to the people\, with no cover charge or ticketing! \nProst! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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.

In 1988\, a group of citizens got together\, united by their concerns that with destruction of the shuttered mills an important part of our region’s culture was in danger of being erased\, too. \nThe prevailing sentiment at the time was not one of reverence for the industry; rather\, it was a stew of mixed emotions—anger for the way things went down\, loss of identity in the face of joblessness\, and fear of an uncertain future. 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. Four years later\, the nonprofit organization that was to become Rivers of Steel was established to carry the torch of Big Steel and its related industries—not simply telling the companies’ stories and the products they made\, but the stories of the men and women who worked there. \nIt is a legacy was too important not to save. Relics and remnants were captured\, so were oral histories. The scope of which grew beyond the workers themselves\, encompassing the neighborhoods they represented—their languages\, their churches\, their traditions and recipes—and sowed the seeds of what was to become Rivers of Steel’s archival\, cultural conservation and exhibition programs. \n\n\nRivers of Steel: A nonprofit\, but also a place\nCreated by Congress in 1996\, the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area celebrates the region’s industrial history\, the landscape that fueled it\, and the hardworking men and women who made it possible\, linking its communities through their shared cultural and industrial heritage.

The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.

As we embrace the future and welcome new visitors and residents\, we still hold dear the values of the steel workers who built our town. We invite you to visit Homestead Borough today. See where we’ve been\, how far we’ve come\, and discover where we’re going. \nLike so many towns in Western Pennsylvania\, Homestead Borough is proud of its past\, and honors the hardworking men and women who built our town and cemented its place in American history. \nRich in history\, Homestead Borough has seen its shares of ups and downs since the first settlers arrived in 1770. The Borough was first incorporated as a municipality in 1880. \nThough the steel mills may be gone\, Homestead Borough is undergoing a renaissance\, attracting new businesses and new residents to our historic downtown. And though there are many new faces\, Homestead is still a place where people will smile and say hello when they walk down the street. \nAt just 0.6 square miles\, Homestead Borough is a major piece of the Steel Valley landscape. Our businesses and residents are closely intertwined with Munhall and West Homestead\, with whom we share many amenities and attractions. \nWe are a diverse town. Young professionals\, families\, and seniors whose parents and grandparents worked in the Homestead Works Steel Mill all call each other neighbor. Our residents come from a variety of cultural backgrounds\, creating a unique mix of urban and suburban lifestyles. \nOur business district is just as diverse as our residents. With new retails shops\, services\, and restaurants opening all the time\, downtown Homestead is alive with interesting things to see and do. The Waterfront Shopping Center offers a variety of retail and entertainment options. Outdoor adventurers including\, bikers\, hikers\, and runners have easy access to the Great Allegheny Passage Bike Trail\, experiencing some of the most beautiful outdoor space the Steel Valley has to offer. \nEven if you think you know Homestead Borough\, you might be surprised at what we have to experience today. \nHistory\nIt’s hard to imagine today\, but from the time the first settlers arrived in Homestead until the late 1800’s\, our Borough was known for its rolling farmland. \nCarnegie Phipps Company began the industrial transformation of Homestead with a Glass Works Factory in 1879. Shortly thereafter\, Phipps Company took over a local steel mill\, and the Borough began to boom. By the turn of the Century\, Homestead was a bustling community\, home to one of the most important plants of The Carnegie Steel Company. \nBecause of its location\, Homestead proved an ideal place for the steel industry to take root – the Monongahela river not only provided easy access to ample coal and ore deposits\, but it made shipping the final product easy and convenient. \nThe unprecedented growth of Andrew Carnegie’s mills and the desire for ever-increasing output and profits led to the famous Homestead Strike of 1892. A watershed moment in labor history\, this strike culminated in one of the most violent clashes between workers and private security officials in history. It has been studied and written about for over 120 years\, and the effects of the strike and ensuing gun battle were felt in Homestead for decades thereafter. \nHomestead’s place in the industrial revolution and later labor movements are so important that most of our downtown buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. \nThough Historic\, the strike did not stem the growth of industry in Homestead. The mills and factories were a huge draw for immigrant workers\, especially those from Western Europe\, and by the early 1900’s Homestead was populated by over 12\,000 residents from various countries and cultures. \nThe Homestead Works eventually grew to be one of the largest steel plants in the world. As the mills expanded\, spanning from Homestead into the surrounding towns of Munhall and West Homestead\, so did the population. By the 1920’s over 20\,000 people lived and worked in the area. During this boom\, Homestead Borough became the meeting and gathering place for the Steel Valley. Eighth Avenue and the surrounding blocks were where people came to shop\, eat\, socialize\, and keep up with local events. \nThat friendly\, close-knit feeling still exists today. \nHomestead hit a rough patch when the mills started to disappear after World War II. Many people thought that the life blood of the community was gone. But that wasn’t entirely true. The mills may have disappeared\, but the heart of Homestead still beats strong. We remain the home of many hard-working people who love their community. \nThe Waterfront shopping plaza has transformed the old\, forgotten mill and industrial space on The Mon River into a vibrant retail district attracting visitors from all around the region. Across from the shops\, walkers\, runners and bikers are able to enjoy miles of green space along the Great Allegheny Passage Bike Trail. \nHomestead’s growth continues. More and more businesses are discovering the historical beauty of Homestead Borough and are choosing to set up shop here. Developers have built beautiful lofts in old industrial buildings\, with more slated to be built in the coming years. Artists are discovering the inspiring spaces here. Children play in the parks\, visitors frequent our restaurants\, and Homestead remains a town where people say hello to you when you walk down the street. \nIf you haven’t been to Homestead in a while\, you don’t know what you’re missing. Come and visit us today. See where we’ve been\, how far we’ve come\, and discover where we’re going.

Shortly thereafter\, Phipps Company took over a local steel mill\, and the Borough began to boom.

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.

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. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n337 E. 8th Avenue\nHomestead\, PA 15120 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHours\nWed-Fri 4-10 p | Saturday 11:30 a -10 p | Sunday 11:30 a -7 p \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact\nEmail: pete@goldenagebeer.com \nInstagram: @goldenagebeer

The population has changed only slightly over the years\, reflecting turns in local industry and commerce. According to the 1910 census\, 3\,009 people lived in West Homestead; as of the 2010 census\, the population was 1\,929. \nThere are two primary residential communities in West Homestead: the historic district and the Village\, a post-WW II hilltop community. The historic district consists of a series of hillside residential streets adorned by intact worker houses reflecting the architecture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century period when most of these homes were originally built. Comprised of homes perfectly suited for contemporary restoration\, this neighborhood has a commanding view of the gorgeous river valley. \nOne of the most noteworthy structures in the historic district is the great Mesta Mansion and accompanying gardens\, which was originally built by steel manufacturer and engineer George Mesta\, founder of the Mesta Machine Company. Upon his death in 1925 the mansion became the property of his widow\, the celebrated socialite and political hostess Perle Mesta\, and remained in the Mesta family until the 1970s. This marvelous structure is on the National Register of Historic Places and has undergone a luxurious  and ongoing restoration process in recent years. \nAnother feature of the historic district is the Bulgarian Macedonian National Educational and Cultural Center on West Eighth Avenue. Since 1935\, this facility has continued to be the center of Bulgarian and Macedonian cultural activity in Western Pennsylvania. West Homestead’s Eighth Avenue itself is a tree-lined boulevard adorned by Victorian shops on the National Register of Historic Places\, and the neighborhood is surrounded by the largest group of ethnic churches on the National Register. \nWest Homestead Living\nThe West Homestead community was originally marked by the steel industry that dominated the region. As the character and personality of the area changed in the latter half of the twentieth century\, West Homestead embraced the progress. Sandcastle Water Park\, a family favorite that draws crowds from all over the region\, opened in 1989\, and the year 2000 saw the opening of The Waterfront\, a magnificent shopping center built on the former site of the US Steel Works. \nMost of the structures associated with the steel mills have been removed\, but some of the brick stacks from the Homestead Steel Works have been retained as a visible link to the area’s industrial past. \nProud of its history and fully encompassing the technological and cultural advances of the twenty-first century\, West Homestead is a safe\, family-friendly community offering a welcoming array of shops\, restaurants\, hotels and other businesses to suit any need or appetite. \nWe are proud of the folks serving and protecting our community – our law enforcement officers\, our volunteer firefighters\, first-rate maintenance crew and borough personnel\, and our local government officials are all working together to make West Homestead a wonderful place to call home.

As the character and personality of the area changed in the latter half of the twentieth century\, West Homestead embraced the progress. Sandcastle Water Park\, a family favorite that draws crowds from all over the region\, opened in 1989\, and the year 2000 saw the opening of The Waterfront\, a magnificent shopping center built on the former site of the US Steel Works. \nMost of the structures associated with the steel mills have been removed\, but some of the brick stacks from the Homestead Steel Works have been retained as a visible link to the area’s industrial past. \nProud of its history and fully encompassing the technological and cultural advances of the twenty-first century\, West Homestead is a safe\, family-friendly community offering a welcoming array of shops\, restaurants\, hotels and other businesses to suit any need or appetite. \nWe are proud of the folks serving and protecting our community – our law enforcement officers\, our volunteer firefighters\, first-rate maintenance crew and borough personnel\, and our local government officials are all working together to make West Homestead a wonderful place to call home.
