Cool Daddy Brewing

We've visited every microbrewery in the Pittsburgh region, so imagine my surprise when a friend recently mentioned a brewery I hadn't heard of! It just opened this June, and last night we finally stopped by. Not only did we score a Laurel Highlands Pour Tour sticker, but we also got to sample their beers on tap.I tried four different brews:Rex's Rd - A classic Irish Red with a 5.2% ABV. I loved it! It had a wonderful aroma and wasn't as heavy as most Irish Reds.Sandpiper - A traditional Pale Ale at 6% ABV. This was one of my favorites, perfectly balanced and smooth.West Coast IPA - Coming in at 6.7% ABV, it had the right amount of bitterness and was well-crafted.Hey. Z! - A hazy IPA (my personal favorite style) at 6.7% ABV. While it wasn't super fruit-forward, It was still nicely done and ended up being the one I chose to enjoy for the evening.The brewery has a laid-back vibe that reminded me of being in Florida with Jimmy Buffett playing in the background. It had that easy-going, ocean-side feel, and while I'm not sure if that was intentional, we really enjoyed it. We're happy we stopped by and are definitely looking forward to visiting again soon!

Fantastic brewery. Down to earth, family owned. Fantastic service, food, drinks. Comfortable setting in a tight knit community. Easy access, family oriented environment.
