Golden Age Beer Company - Homestead, Pennsylvania

Alexandra K.

Came here for the first time this past weekend and can’t believe I haven’t been sooner! Great space in Homestead. Tried a few of the draft beers which were quite tasty. We ordered off the food menu and tried the Chicken Döner Kebab and the crinkle cut fries. The sandwich was okay, but lacked enough sauce and the bread to filling ratio was off, fries were decent. Our neighbors at the bar got the smash burgers and they looked awesome. There was a DJ there and even though it was too cold to sit outside, they have a great outdoor space!

tl;dr VISIT: GOOD food and beer options in a welcoming vibe.

FINALLY got here. I used to live on this side of town but this place opened after we'd moved.

SAT 29 MAR, ~8p arrival. DJ.
Food: In haus.
Weather: 70F, dry

Vibe:
Family, lotsa kids, very welcoming. German bier haus feel. Larger space, lots of tables. My group was in the outdoor space adjacent wherewas the DJ.

SITREP
I was there w/ a meetup, older demographic. Moderate # of people inside; outside was full, not packed.

I went inside to get bevvie and food.

One star off for my being invisible for ~15 min and lesser so later. I sat inside next to the beer window and 3 different servers went by me to attend to people coming to window. There was no line; these people had come to window since I'd been there.

Finally, I must have materialized and 4th server saw me. I spoke w/ two servers and the owner. Once they got to me, they were very friendly and helpful.

Food:
I got there late, but they did squeeze in my Döner kebab order. Recommended: wood fired chix had delish subtleties.

They have spicy Schnitzel, which seems fairly unique for German food especially in Pittsburgh. I've lived in NYC, Bay Area and lotsa other places and embrace interesting fun dishes; this seems like something I should try.

Beers I tried:
• Italian Pils 4.7%
This was YUM. I may have had 1 beer in my last trip to Italy and it wasn't memorable (the Compari spritz, tho...). This was the highlight of my visit.
RECOMMENDED.

• German Pilsner 5.1%
As advertised, crisp and tasty. Simple, straightforward.

• Fastenbier 5.8%
Not too smoky! Delish.

• Černé 13° 5.2%
Went w/ this over the dunkel and very happy I did. Richly flavored. Next time, will do Italian pils, dunkel and this and compare.
RECOMMENDED.

Open, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor). Lagers are crisp and beautiful. I highly recommend the pizza. It was so good I didn’t have time to get a photo before digging right in. Great spot worth visiting in Homestead.

Golden Age Brewery just may be THE BEST Brewery in the Pittsburgh region.

The Quick… Great, and I Do Mean GREAT Beer and a GREAT Price!

The building itself along with the outside design is open and inviting.
The staff is very knowledgeable and quick to help.

The food goes perfect with the choices of beer… which is Amazing!

My personal Favorite is the:

Světlé 10° $6
Czech Pale Lager is the quintessential lager of
Czechia. A simple showcase of floor-malted
Bohemian Pilsner malt, balanced with floral
and spice from the mighty Saaz hops. 4.3%

My Wife Loves the:
Tent bier $6
Brewed here in Homestead in collaboration
with our friends Chris & John Troegner of
Tröegs Independent Brewing in Hershey, PA.
We brewed this beer to be a weissbier similar
to the ones you’d see in the tents in Munich at
this time of year. It’s a drier, lower alcohol take
on the big weissbiers that you associate with
the Bavarian countryside. 5.0%

They often have music outside during the nice days and inside when not during the weekends and some nights.

I highly recommend you visit their website for a list of what’s on Tap/prices and visit the Untappd app for reviews.

I absolutely love this place and I don’t mind the drive, 30min city, because of the atmosphere.

Golden Age Beer Company just gets it RIGHT!

Grab your loved ones and friends and head to there TODAY!

Cheers.

We had a great time & got to see amazing live band. Had some pretzels with beer cheese and that was also fantastic.

Came back for smash burgs and they were also superb.

Visiting Golden Age Beer Co. Mostly German style brews, which I love! No flights here, but they do offer half pours of your choice. I selected the Rauchbier Marzen, which is a smoked Marzen. Excellent!

Top notch beers. Great customer service. Really nice venue that had a jazz band playing on the patio. Their smoked wings were excellent and the smashed burger was awesome- only issue was bacon was over cooked- happy hour 1 liter of beer $8

the atmosphere is perfect, great selection of beers, good food and the most fun trivia nights! It gets extra better when the weather is good and we can stay in the patio. Also, very kid friendly on Sundays afternoon (maybe in the other days too, I just have not been there midday on other days 🙂 )
