The Church Brew Works, Pittsburgh

The Church Brew Works is one of the most unique dining establishments in the city. After closing its doors in the early 1990s, this former Catholic Church built at the turn of the 20th century has found new life as a brewpub. That’s right, the pub’s micro-brewing machinery resides where the altar once stood. The food is good (if not "divine") (sorry) and the menu consists of cuisine as varied as Pittsburgh, from pierogi to buffalo burgers, pulled pork sandwiches and the perennial customer favorite, sweet potato fries. You'll love the names of the brews, such as Pipe Organ Pale Ale, Celestial Gold, Pious Monk Dunkel and the Rotating Blast Furnace Stout.
