Itinerary
Inner Groove Brewery
This is a sample itinerary, all schedules are subject to change. During the musical heyday of the ’60s and ’70s, bands used to place hidden messages and secret songs on the ‘inner groove’ of vinyl records. At Inner Groove Brewing, you won’t find any hidden messages but you will find a wealth of great beer. Inner Groove opened its doors in June of 2019 as the brainchild of two husband and wife couples. Tim & Kelly Melle and Kevin & Jennifer Walzer founded the brewery as a representation of their passion for great beer and good music. Nestled in the town of Verona, Inner Groove is poised to become a vital part of the up-and-coming quaint neighborhood just north of the Steel City.
City Brew Tours Pittsburgh
We will pick you up at 112 Washington Place to start your unforgettable craft beer journey.We couldn’t count how many bridges & tunnels we traveled in search of the best craft breweries and beer Pittsburgh has to offer. If it weren’t for Pittsburgh being split by 3 rivers, there’s a good chance there may not be enough water to support this many breweries in one city! From the smallest, newest nano-breweries to independent craft breweries with age-old history, we sought out the brewers who helped bring craft beer to the ‘burgh and focused on developing strong relationships with each of them so we could give you unfettered access to their spaces and suds. Our tour itineraries vary amongst several great breweries including Strange Roots, Allegheny City Brewing, Couch Brewing and other described below.
Hop Farm Brewing Company
Hop Farm Brewing Company is a woman-owned, family-run brewery in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA.

At Trace Brewing in Pittsburgh, PA, they brew a little bit of everything for everyone. This Bloomfield neighborhood hot spot was built inside an old brass and bronze foundry from 1900 and celebrates the old with its vaulted ceilings, old growth wood and brick structure as well as the new with its graffiti, neon lights, and massive steel tanks.

Delicious, with a wide variety, and a great guide
We had a great time with Chris. He took us to three breweries, each better than the last. Apparently the one that is on virtually every tour, because they provide food, is the Church Beer Works. That is in a fantastic location, inside an old church, complete with stained glass. The beer and food were outstanding too. My favorite brewery was Lolev, with puts the untappd ratings of its beers right on the menu. When nothing is below a 4, you know it’s pretty good. Chris is a high school teacher who does this on weekends. Most of the best tour guides we’ve had have been educators, and this was no exception. Very outgoing, very knowledgeable, and very accommodating. We’ve been on another tour with this company so I know it’s standard to start with asking favorite beer styles. He took our input and crafted the menu around it. I have to apologize to my fellow tourist who tried the Lolev plum saison (saison being my favorite style), made a face, and pronounced that it was . At least I think she liked everything else, and I gave it top marks. Chris was also right when he said there was an IPA at our first stop that people who don’t like IPAs would like. All in all, a delicious and informative afternoon.
