Spirited R.

We stopped by Voodoo Brewery to collect a Laurel Highlands Pour Tour sticker and noticed Strange Roots Experimental Ales right across the street. I had no idea they had a location in this area, so of course, we had to check it out! We headed over, hoping to snag a sticker, and took a moment at the bar to review their draft list. We decided on the Zomp, a delicious IPA dry-hopped with Citra and Sabro hops--it was incredibly tasty and refreshing. The place was buzzing with energy, and we loved the lively atmosphere. While we were able to collect a sticker, they had to stamp our book since this location just opened in October. Unfortunately, I didn't have my book on me, but honestly, it's all about the experience--and what a great experience it was! A live two-man band was playing '90s music, which hit all the nostalgic feels for us, having grown up in that era. In the back, Common Oven Pizza adds even more charm to this spot. When you walk in, the incredible aroma hits you, instantly making you hungry. I love when breweries partner with local restaurants--it's the perfect combination of great beer and amazing food. The space is small but unique, with a cozy vibe that makes it feel like a hidden gem. I'm so glad we stumbled across this place--cheers to new discoveries and great beer!

Rotating craft beers (usually sours, but it varies) with a recent stout that tastes like hot chocolate. Come in for the pizza and salads from The Common Oven. Across from Voodoo Brewery in the heart of New Kensington. I've been here a couple of times. Staff is friendly and it has a family atmosphere. Can get busy at night. Has an outdoor area but lacks heaters. Has a good pizza place living in the back that serves up the best craft woodfired pizza for miles around.

Cheesesteak
Chris M.

This place is amazing. Ordered a true Philly cheesesteak!!! Chopped ribeye, cooper sharp,and fried onions on seeded roll. BEST cheesesteak around. Only issue a little small for $16 but quality ingredients. Wife had delicious salad and a Hot honey pizza with sesame seeds pressed into edges. Perfectly cooked! Crispy crust with great sauce and pepperoni. Annnnnd the beers were excellent! Service was quick and friendly and bartender was absolutely fantastic!!!! Really nice place and great vibes. Will be back for sure!!!!

Beer Garden

We love the entire vibe at Strange Roots which also houses the Amazing Common Oven Pizza!! The Staff are always super friendly and willing to give the 411 on anything they have on tap. Live music and a large beer garden area to sit outside and hang with friends and enjoy the delish beer and food!!! This place is one to put on your places to visit list. Loving this place for New Ken!!!

First visit here as I am rarely over this way. Parking is a little hard I found. Not sure if I…read moremissed anything or not. It's beside Cafe Monaco and if it's busy good luck finding a spot nearby. I went mid day on a Sunday and after some circling the block found a nearby spot. I think the venue itself is very nice. It's fresh looking and inviting. Because it was one of the warm days recently they had the whole front opened up and that was nice. It seems to have a hometown client base, I say that because everyone seemed to know each other or at least someone else there. They had a food truck setting up when I was there but I don't try it. The selection, while not huge was solid. I decided to try a DIPA and a TIPA and both were decent. The folks working were accommodating. If I get back over that way I'll be sure to stop by and try another drink or two.

"Finally, something I can sink," I say, finding myself a pint rather than a putt after the U.S…read more Open. I'm a lousy golfer but certainly appreciated a cold drink after walking around the golf course all day. Local Remedy is a brewery in Oakmont. It is in the main business district. Garage doors open to offer fresh air. There are picnic tables outside and they encourage you to order from any of Oakmont's various restaurants. The staff is extremely friendly, offering quick service and great recommendations. There were non-alcoholic options for those who did not drink in our party. We enjoyed it enough that we came back twice over three days.

It was ok. I'll start off by saying that I'm not much of a…read morebeer drinker. My partner is though. We came in to get drinks to go with our food (we got food from the food truck outside "Firebox"). The food from Firebox was good and it was a generous portion for the price. The drink options that were not beer were limited, and half of those options on the menu weren't available. My partner got the berry chocolate stout and said it was "pretty good". We hoped to sit outside, but the only available table had broken glass all over it from a busted door. It does have convenient parking and I liked the industrial decor. The service was good and the lady was very nice. One thing I will point out is that one of our glasses had pink lipstick on it from a previous customer. But if you only want beer and a place to chill - it might be just right for you.

3 - Solid choice if you're in the area. Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more Starting with the venue, it's really my kind of place. I appreciate the industrial feel and open plan. I also appreciate the ample outdoor seating available. Always a big plus for me, even if the outdoor area is really just tables set up on the sidewalk overlooking the parking lot - as it is in this case. The service was fine. It wasn't crazy busy there but the bartender had a little edge to her like we were more on an annoyance than a patron. They have a refill club where you can buy a mug and get your name printed on it with discounted refills. Again I appreciate that kind of thing, but the bartender seemed way more interested in some of the regulars than us. Just the vibe she gave off that night I guess. And lastly the beer...it's solid. Not great, but solid. Lots of darker beers which is fine for me personally, but the darks outnumbered the IPAs, pilsners, etc the night we were there. I'd expect a little more variety. Still, it's good enough that I'd go back next time I'm in Cumberland, but not so good that I'd make a special trip out of my way. My scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive up to 30 minutes just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here. Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more Yough River Brewing hits the three things I look for in a brewery - food availability, outdoor seating/dog friendly, and of course the beer. Went here after golfing with a buddy and had a solid IPA and a pretty good Oktoberfest. The variety available is good enough that most people should be able to find something they like. A really nice outdoor seating area with a couple of fire tables and Adirondack chairs makes it comfortable and inviting. I happened to be there on a Sunday afternoon and I think a football game was going on or just ended because there were a bunch of unsupervised kids running around the tables. Not that they were over the top obnoxious, but they were definitely distracting. Other than the timing, I enjoyed the ambiance of the place and the beers were good enough that I'd gladly make the 40 minute drive down again. 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
