A trip to Pittsburgh included a trip to brewery,restaurant as we had never been there. The church setting was very,very nice.Stained glass windows are beautiful.Beer was also good.Belltower Brown ale is being made again----loved it.Wasn't impressed with the food---just OK.We are glad we visited as it is worth a visit at least once.Next visit to Pittsburgh----back to Fat Head's!!!
