SUMMARY:Jazz Lunch with the Thomas Wendt Quartet at Golden Age Beer Co.
DESCRIPTION:Jazz Lunch with the Thomas Wendt Quartet at Golden Age Beer Co.\n\nSunday\, January 11\, 2026\n12:00 PM  3:00 PM\n\n\nGolden Age Beer Company337 East 8th AvenueHomestead\, PA\, 15120United States (map)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh’s next-generation jazz drummer puts together a quartet of the city’s best jazz professionals every Sunday from 12-3 at Golden Age to start your Sunday Funday off with some spectacular vibes. \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. \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

SUMMARY:Sunday Slow Grooves with J Malls at Golden Age Beer Co.

Malls. Every Sunday at Golden Age\, J. digs deep into his massive 45s collection to bring you the chillest set of soul on the planet. Only slow sides. Only good vibes. \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:Dusty Slay: The Neighborhood Guy Tour LIVE at Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall *LIVE Standup Comedy*
DESCRIPTION:Dusty Slay: The Neighborhood Guy Tour\n\n\nFriday\, January 23rd\, 2026 | This event is for all ages. \n\n\n\n\n\nOutback Presents & Drusky Entertainment presents: \nDusty Slay \nFriday\, January 23rd\, 2026 \nDoors: 6:00PM / Show: 7:00PM \nCarnegie of Homestead Music Hall (Munhall\, PA) \n*All tickets subject to day of show price increase. Prices at the ticket link reflect the all-in ticket price (face value + fees) – minus any taxes / credit card processing fees. \nThis event is for all ages. \nYou can take the boy out of the trailer park\, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the boy… stand-up comedian Dusty Slay grew up on Lot 8 of a mobile home neighborhood in Opelika\, Alabama\, with a love for both classic country and rock and a career history peppered with jobs like waiting tables and selling pesticides. Now the Alabama native with the “We’re having a Good Time” attitude is hitting cities all across the country playing comedy clubs and selling out theaters filled with fans eager to imitate his signature Wave. \nThe trucker hat\, long hair and mustache\, flannel shirt and oversized glasses aren’t affectations to cultivate a stage persona as the B-side of a 1970s Bob Seger track—it’s just Dusty. As a young boy\, growing up in a trailer park\, Dusty never felt like he was poor. He didn’t even know folks were better off than him until he went to school and was the only kid whose home address said “Lot 8 Moore’s Trailer Park”. In his comedy he reflects\, “We never felt poor\, we just didn’t have everything growing up. Like instead of ice cream\, my mom would just pour milk into a bowl and then she’d call us in the room and say ‘welp\, you’re too late!’” Raised by a single mother with two daughters from a previous marriage\, Dusty’s unique family home was never lacking for warmth or love. His father\, always present in his life from the very beginning\, made sure to show him the simple joys of boyhood adventure. “We never had real pets growing up\, we just had prisoners of nature. A dog would wander up\, we’d chain it to a tree. Now he’s ours.” \nAs he came of age and started joining the workforce\, Dusty had many jobs. He had multiple stints as a dishwasher and waiter at restaurants and food chains like Papa Johns\, Jim Bob’s Chicken Fingers as well as a couple tours with Western Sizzlin’ and the historic Hyman’s Seafood. He spent 8 years as a pesticide salesman selling to hardware chains like Lowes and Home Depot. “A lot of people would come up to me and ask weird questions like\, we want something that’s gonna kill the insects but not harm the environment. I’d say well\, ‘How bout a shoe’. Cause I’m selling pesticides here.” In 2001\, Dusty bought back his childhood home\, the trailer that he grew up in. At this time he made plans to join the army\, but an untimely arrest for marijuana possession disrupted those plans. Later that September terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York and months after the country was at war. “Everything happens for a reason” says Dusty. After a few years of improv classes\, in 2008 Dusty was inspired to try his hand at stand-up comedy where he found his true calling. He won the Charleston Comedy Competition and was named Charleston City Paper’s Stand Up Comedian of the year in his then hometown two years in a row. In 2014 he made the move to Nashville and made Comedy a full-time gig touring comedy clubs all across the country. \nThe Nashville scene welcomed Dusty with open arms and at age 36\, Slay became the youngest comedian at the time to ever perform on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage. To date he’s logged dozens of appearances in front of “his people” on the historic stage in the last few years fully embedding himself in the country music scene and having been asked to host some of the biggest events across the subculture\, including Hangover Fest at the ACMs in Las Vegas in 2022 and CMA Fest’s Forever Country Stage with the likes of Scotty McCreery\, Dustin Lynch\, Lainey Wilson and some of the most iconic names in the genre. \nIt wasn’t long before his comedy caught the attention of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he’s since performed 6 unforgettable late-night sets\, firmly establishing himself as a crowd favorite and bona fide star on the silver screen. His breakout performances launched him into the Netflix family featuring as one of six comics in season 3 of The Stand Ups\, highlighting the brightest new comedians at the top of their game in ½-hour stand-up comedy formats. Dusty made his solo Netflix debut January 2024 with his first one-hour special\, WORKIN’ MAN\, celebrating his many years as a “road dog” comic\, and the material he’s honed and crafted\, reflecting on his trailer park upbringing\, the hilarious nuance of hourly shift work and the amusing idiosyncrasies of everyday life. \nWORKIN’ MAN opened to tremendous success on the Netflix platform paving the way for partnerships and collaborations with iconic brands like Cracker Barrel\, Lugz and Field & Stream. Appearances on Hollywood Squares with Drew Barrymore as well as trending podcasts like This Past Weekend with Theo Von and Kill Tony have continue to raise Dusty’s profile from Nashville legend to mainstream comedy hero. In the summer of ’25\, Dusty released his latest Netflix special WET HEAT\, a love letter to the south sharing his experiences traveling the country and getting into mischief in the hot and muggy regions he’s always called home.

SUMMARY:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater
DESCRIPTION:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater \n“A THRILLING & FRENETIC MENTAL BREAKDOWN OF A SHOW” (NYT) \nEqual parts anxious clown show\, demented cabaret\, and extended crisis of meaning\, Sad Boys in Harpy Land collages narratives of art making and despair into an unhinged solo performance that takes place in the hellscape of the mind. \nAfter sold-out runs everywhere from Off-Broadway to multiple basements\, self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist” Alex Tatarsky brings their (dubiously) hit show Sad Boys in Harpy Land to The Glitterbox! Embracing the spiral\, the unfinished\, and the broken bits\, the piece attempts to move through the inaction born of anxiety\, shame\, and overwhelm towards strange & ecstatic modes of re-writing the world together. \nCreated & Performed by Alex Tatarsky \nLive Music by Shane Riley \nDirected by Iris McCloughan \nScenic\, Costumes\, Props Design by Andreea Mincic \nLighting Design by Masha Tsimring \nDeveloped with Eva Steinmetz \nCalled a “hilarious\, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones) and “outrageous and profane” (NYT)\, Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy\, dance-theater\, performance art\, and deluded rant–sometimes with songs. Tatarsky experienced fleeting fame as Andy Kaufman’s daughter and used to perform as a mound of dirt. Playing with perceptions of language and narrative structure\, their live performances are highly responsive to venue and audience. They are currently touring their composting clown show Dirt Trip. Past shows include: Americana Psychobabble (La Mama\, MoMA PS1)\, Untitled Freakout (The Kitchen)\, MATERIAL (The Whitney Museum) and Buttplug Gnome (Gibney). At the Poetry Project\, they organized a series on the poetics of rot. @tartar.biz \nSad Boys in Harpy Land was commissioned by Abrons Arts Center through the Jerome Foundation AIRspace Residency Program. Playwrights Horizons\, Inc\, in New York City produced the NYC Off Broadway Premiere of Sad Boys in Harpy Land in 2023. Sad Boys in Harpy Land received development support through FringeArts\, the Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Program at 1812 Productions\, Poetry Electric at La Mama\, MAAS and Cannonball Festival. \nPhoto by Maria Baranova \n$15 Presale/$20 Door\nDoors open at 7pm
