“Throughout the country, Pittsburgh is known as a hot bed of craft beer, and we’re proud to have Steel

City’s finest participate in Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week,” said Brian Meyer, president of Pittsburgh Craft

Beer Week. “Our number of breweries is larger than ever, and we look forward to yet another successful

event that will showcase craft beer not only from Pittsburgh, but from around the country as well.

We’ve made some exciting changes to this year’s PCBW, and we’ll be sharing those details at our

upcoming Media Day.”

will be used on T-shirts, glassware, posters, and the printed guide. The artwork is available here. Mark
