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.

Don’t miss the Mobile Resource Fair hosted by MVI’s Partner Network on Friday\, July 24\, in Homestead. \nConnect with local organizations\, discover valuable resources\, and explore opportunities to help you and your family succeed at the MVI Partner Network & SPARC Mobile Resource Fair. \nHosted by Mon Valley Initiative (MVI)\, this free community event brings together providers from across the region offering employment services\, financial education\, behavioral health resources\, family support\, re-entry services\, banking assistance\, and much more. Whether you’re looking for a new career\, community resources\, or support services\, this event is designed to connect you with organizations that can help. \nDate: Friday\, July 24\, 2026Time: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PMLocation: East 7th Avenue (between Ann Street and McClure Street)\, behind Mon Valley Initiative’s Homestead office \nCommunity organizations and service providers will be available throughout the afternoon to answer questions\, provide information\, and connect attendees with programs and resources. The event also highlights the work of Mon Valley Initiative’s Southwestern Pennsylvania Re-Entry Coalition (SPARC)\, which supports successful re-entry and community connections throughout the region. \nFor additional information\, contact Mon Valley Initiative’s Workforce Team at 412-464-4000 \nserving the region since 1988\nThe Mon Valley communities — located south of Pittsburgh along the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers in Allegheny\, Washington\, and Westmoreland counties — were deeply damaged more than 30 years ago when the driving forces of the region’s industrial economy moved away or closed. \nMon Valley Initiative\, founded in 1988\, works to improve the lives of people in the Mon Valley area by helping to rebuild community infrastructure\, provide safe and affordable housing\, and connect employers to people seeking new jobs and careers. \nWe do this by delivering quality services to the people of the Mon Valley\, including housing counseling\, workforce development and financial coaching\, real estate development\, and community development. \nOUR HISTORY\nIn the late 1970s and early 1980s\, U.S. Steel\, Westinghouse Electric\, WABCO\, Union Switch and Signal\, and Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel all closed major manufacturing plants in the Monongahela Valley. Some sources indicate that as many as 175\,000 jobs were lost in the region when these plants closed. \nMajor industrial sites occupied hundreds of acres of land and as landowners\, the corporations were major taxpayers. Without this tax revenue\, communities in the Mon Valley were hard-pressed to provide basic services to their residents. People moved out\, and the Valley’s role as the engine of the Pittsburgh region’s economy was lost. \nAs factories were closing\, a number of business and industry leaders representing Pittsburgh’s largest corporations began an aggressive plan to address the problems that arose from the fall of heavy manufacturing. \nThrough the Allegheny Conference on Community Development\, the group focused its work on setting strategic investment strategies for the region to address the devastating economic decline. One of their recommendations included hiring a community organizer to find a way to encourage reinvestment in the Mon Valley. \nThat organizer\, Michael Eichler\, and key leaders and funders of the Allegheny Conference sought solutions directly from people who lived and worked in the Valley. They recommended strategies that offered a means to broadly engage local people in implementing economic and community development projects. \nIn addition to helping to form new grassroots organizations\, Eichler also provided support to community development corporations\, or CDCs\, that were already in existence. Through the Allegheny Conference\, the “Mon Valley Development Team” was formed in January 1987. \nIn April 1988\, the representatives of these grassroots CDCs began to discuss the possibility of forming a regional coalition. These discussions led to the incorporation of Mon Valley Initiative in December 1988.

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. 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.

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.
