Food is set — but you can’t forget the booze! We recommended gifting Dad one (or more) of the following Pittsburgh beer and bourbon options.
Kingfly Blended Bourbon Whiskey
A warming bourbon with flavors of spice, oak, and sweet corn.
Sherry Cask Finished Rye Whiskey
This barrel-finished liquor from Wigle Whiskey features sweet berry notes with a spicy finish.
Peated Bourbon
Liberty Pole’s Peated Bourbon is like a campfire in a bottle: a palate of caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch flavors.
Cardshark Bourbon
For those who like a more traditional, rye-tasting liquor.
Rye Whiskey Copper Edition
Quantum Spirits recommends serving this spiced rye, featuring citrus, honeycomb, and caramel notes, on the rocks with a twist of orange.
Mindful Brewing
Located in Castle Shannon and Carnegie, Mindful Brewing makes a great spot for food and brews if firing up the grill for Father’s Day seems a bit too intimidating.
Leaning Cask Brewing
From their refreshing Strawberry Wiggle Butt with fresh basil and strawberry to the Imperial Ridgeback double IPA, this Eastern Pittsburgh brewery features a wide-ranging selection of beverages, perfect for the dad who craves variety.
Necromancer Brewing
For the sports-loving dad, grab a four-pack to-go of Necromancer’s Gold beer, a Pittsburgh Cream Ale, and their Black Pittsburgh Porter.
Inner Groove Brewing
Named after the hidden tracks, or “inner grooves” of vinyl records, this Verona-originated brewery is a center for hand-crafted brews and good tunes.
