I’ve tried Hitchhiker’s brews four times and found their beer to be watery and week tasting all four times. They don’t taste bad; they just taste diluted. With the current surge and trendiness of craft beer, they’ll survive and even thrive in Mt. Lebonan for a while. But when the trend dies down? If they want to be around for the long haul, they better get more flavor into their beer. With virtually no food, they need to be able to stand with their beer. I’m really rooting for this place, but after ample (4) chances and poor results, I’ll be holding off for a while until they hopefully get some better recipes.
Just What Lebo Needed. Nice little brew pub tucked away next to Luma in Mt. Lebanon. Nice interior lay out with a modest amount of seating, no tables. Large black board announces the available beers, and they have a very good selection. I started with a very good German Kolsch, called Cobblestone. Nice malt body with a little sweetness and the right hop bite. I thought it was some what under carbonated. Next I had the Roadie, a IPA. My favorite (I’m a hop head). Excellent, with a lot of bitterness. New beers are constantly being produced and another black board lets you know which ones will be coming up. Snack selection is limited, but well thought out. Home made beer nuts, local jerky, cheese board, sliders, chile. I had the cheese board (see pic). A little skimpy for $12, but good. On Wednesday they usually have some special activity. Lately they’ve been tapping a cast conditioned beer that has had some spice or fruit macerating in it for 2 weeks. It is sort of a first come first serve since the cast is only good for that night. Great place, I will certainly be back.
The black IPA is fantastic as well as the brown ale. Glad an awesome brew pub is so close by. I think the price is worth it for the quality and freshness, keep up the good work.
Not Bad. I stopped in last Wednesday. This is a small place but nice inside. The bar is made from reclaimed barn wood. They had 8 beers on tap. The 3 I had, Roadie IPA, Tumbleweed Brown Ale and Keystone Common, were very good. The food selection is very limited and really the only thing holding this place back from becoming a great spot.
Some Nice Brews. Small with a bar and stools around the walls. Nice list of beers. There are only a few items to eat. The hummus and pita are from Pitaland. Had the homemade beer cheese and pretzels. Pretty good. The portion looked small but we ran out of pretzels before finishing the cheese. The homemade beer nuts are spicy and nice.Someone in our group had the root beer and declared it one of the best they have had.
Not impressed. From the previously written reviews, I guess this newly opened spot is a favorite with the locals. We stopped in to try their beer and a small plate. This is a very tiny spot, but there is a lot of seating around the perimeter with a narrow ledge for your beers and food. When we walked in, there were a few people at the bar seats. We stood there for a moment or two, and I guess I expected some sort of hello, have a seat wherever or welcome, we will be with you in a minute. No one said anything which was kind of awkward. Their beers and small menu are on a large chalkboard. We ordered 2 beers and a cheese plate. The beers were nice but I think I would have liked a little guidance in making a better selection. The cheese plate was tiny, but we enjoyed the olives and the sopressata. Maybe because of the convenience in a walking neighborhood, this spot will do well, but it not a place we will likely return to because we were expecting some conversation about the brewery and the beers made on the premises.
Great Beer!. We anticipated the opening of Hitchhiker for MONTHS being that it is so very close by. Loved the atmosphere (minimalist decor) and the deck is a huge draw during Pittsburgh’s few lovely months. We tried the Saison and the Wit Bier and both were excellent. We ordered the cheese plate as a snack and it was underwhelming, will not order it again. It also took 20 minutes to arrive after going back to the bar to inquire. Most of the service was very friendly, particularly a young lady with dark glasses and short dark hair. We definitely look forward to going back for the beers!
