Beer in Pittsburgh in 1765?


You bet! In fact the British Army built a brewery at Fort Pitt in 1765 which we know today as the city of Pittsburgh, Pa. It was the first brewery west of the Allegheny mountains. Most British soldiers received a small ration of the tasty beverage. Social impact? It was great for morale!
