Name: Crafts & Drafts Artist Call
Start: 2026-12-12
Location: East End Brewing - Mt. Lebanon Taproom

East End Brewing Company bursts onto the scene in Pittsburgh like a fresh hop‑laden shout from the neighbourhoods it loves. Since 2004 the family‑run outfit has turned the simple act of pouring a pint into an art form, thanks to the YOU ARE HERE Project that serves a different brew for each distinct district. The result is a tasting journey that feels less like a menu and more like a guided tour of the city’s character, all without leaving the comfort of the Mt. Lebanon taproom.

Three venues—a lively brewpub, the sleek taproom, and a seasonal garden pop‑up—give you choice of ambience while the beer selection swings from classic amber to bold experimental lagers. The kitchen backs the draughts with solid pizza, the kind that can hold its own against a robust porter (the Sicilian and meat‑lover slices are particularly impressive). Service is friendly and attentive, the bathrooms sparkle, and staff are diligent about hand washing, a small but telling detail of their professionalism. In short, East End delivers craft credibility, community spirit, and enough good cheer to keep even the most sceptical palate smiling.
