A group of friends have created a lot of beer behind one of their homes. That location inspired a business.
Back Alley Brewing Co. is planned to open in late spring/early summer. It will be the first brewery in Dormont.
Four of the five owners live there and a fifth is close by. Patrick McKinley and his wife, Patricia, collaborated with fellow Dormont residents Jacob Maxwell and Lee Sifford on this venture. Their friend, Cody Hoellerman, is from Pittsburgh’s Brookline neighborhood.
