| The BREWERY We started out in 1996 with a tiny, 'frankenstein' 3 bbl system as authorLew Byson described it. The whole operation was squeezed into a 9 by 13 foot room in the basement of the mansion. There we toiled away & made some incredible beers...but just not enough. We would come back from our annual week long vacation to a near empty line up and angry staff & customers. In 2003 we started renovations on our 4 bay 1930s cement block garage and by August of 2004 we started brewing. The 7 bbl direct fired brew house we used from 2004-2009 came second hand from Avery Brewing in Colorado. The remainder of our equipment we picked up ourselves in Pittsburgh from the Foundry in the Strip District. Over the past five years we added several 8.5 bbl tanks and over the period of 2008-2009 replaced the mash tun and kettle with like sized equipment, our mash tun was made in Canada and our new Kettle was made in western Pa. These bigger vessels allow us a little more room to brew bigger beers in bigger batches with fewer headaches. Click on the links below to....

| Our Brewing History Steve started homebrewing in 1985 and I joined him in 1991. Many of our award winning home brews were made in a lobsterman's shack without running water or central heat on the beautiful coast of Maine while working at an Inn. One of our pale ales we called Bug Brew after all the crickets that lived in our well. In 1993 we moved to Colorado and started working on the bottling line at New Belgium Brewing Co. We were fortunate to join the company during a period of tremendous growth and quickly moved through a variety of positions absorbing every bit of knowledge along the way. After two years of some wonderful experiences at NBB we moved to central Pa. to scout out a location for our dream of a brew-pub. SGB opened on the darkest day of the year in 1996 ...but I'll add more later... but for now, almost thirteen years and three kids later.... I can't believe how time has flown! |
Hoppy NEW YEAR! Upcoming Taps- LOVE BUZZ Stout IPA back in February Please enjoy in moderation, - Heather & Steve |
