Are Pittsburgh Breweries OK?!

June 8, 2026·25 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Is Pittsburgh's beer scene in trouble? Earlier this year, Fat Head's closed down, and now both Penn Brewery and the Abbey on Butler have filed for bankruptcy. With these beloved spots in limbo and Voodoo Brewing hitting the brakes on their once-rapid expansion, we're wondering if this signals a bigger shift in our brewhouse culture. Host Megan Harris is with City Cast's Owen Gabbey to explain what's behind the struggles and why the landscape might not be as bleak as it seems. Need a beer recommendation? Call or text us our OWEN GABBEY hotline at 412-212-8893.
