About
Strange Roots Experimental Ales operates at the intersection of farmhouse brewing tradition and creative, locally-driven experimentation. They celebrate their environment using local ingredients, varying fermentation methods, and micro flora to create unique artisan ales inspired by the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. The brewery features two family- and dog-friendly taprooms in the Pittsburgh area with indoor/outdoor seating and full food menus from restaurant partners.
