BEER: 11th Hour Brewing Co.

  • Alla Spina at HiWay 1305 West College Avenue State College, PA, 16801 United States (map)

We’re going back to our craft beer roots when we welcome Pittsburgh’s 11th Hour Brewing Co. to Alla Spina at HiWay on Thursday, October, 15th with a retro “Meet The Brewery” session.

A family owned brewery with deep Pittsburgh roots, 11th Hour was originated in 2017 with owner Matt McMahon, his wife Keana, along with Matt’s stepson Justin Strzelczyk turning Matt’s homebrewing roots into a commercial reality. Together this family have turned a passion for craft beer into a happenin’ business in the hip Lawrenceville neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA. Although we’ve been pouring their beer here consistently this year, we’re happy to finally welcome Matt here in person!

We figured the best way to get to know Matt and his beers is through the lens of one of our legendary event series from our beloved former sibling locations: Z Bar at The Deli Restaurant’s “Meet The Brewery”

Your ticket purchase will get you three of Matt’s tasty sample size pours along with an intimate 45 minute session with Matt hearing his origin story along with his personal tutored tasting guide through each of the selected pours for the evening.

Come early, stay late! We’ll tap all the 11th Hour brews when we open at 4pm and will also have our full beer, cocktail and wine list available when we open, so come early. Have a drink. Say hello to Matt and settle in for an enjoyable evening together. We look forward to seeing you soon!
