Pittsburgh Brewing Company acquired the historic Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) factory in Creighton, PA, combining two iconic Pittsburgh companies along the Allegheny River. The expansive site is being transformed into a vibrant campus featuring a state-of-the-art brewery, a distillery, a restaurant, a museum on beer and local history, a marina, a music venue, a beer garden, and walking and biking trails.

​

The 1860s factory was meticulously restored with sandblasted walls and steel, sealed brick, painted steel, and updated windows and floors. It now serves as a stunning backdrop for the modern stainless steel brewing equipment producing Iron City Beer.

​

The old boiler building is being converted into Iron City Distilling, featuring a 20-foot copper still visible through a large storefront window. An adjacent outdoor stage, constructed from reclaimed steel columns and trusses, will host concerts for thousands, enhancing the site's role as a cultural hub while preserving local traditions.
