Photo: Courtesy of Mystic Trail Brewing 2020 was a big year for Pittsburgh beer. Existing breweries were forced to close their taprooms and implement, if they hadn’t already, online ordering systems. They mastered the art of online can releases, opened outdoor beer gardens, and collaborated with other breweries, giving support to social justice movements and industry folks in need across the state and globe. And, even in the middle of a pandemic, the Pittsburgh beer scene continued to grow. Pittsburgh City Paper has compiled a list of five breweries that opened their doors in 2020. Find yourself a new brew at one of these spots in and around the city, and keep an eye out in 2021 — there’s more openings to come.
