I have attended this beer fest in the past and it is a lovely afternoon – low key, beer sampling by the river on a hot August Saturday. Since the Steel City Big Pour sold out in the first day of ticket sales you might as well enjoy the summer beer festivals while you can.

Image via WikipediaMillvale is happening these days, well I think things have been happening in Millvale for a while now but they have had some great events recently. Millvale is super close to Pittsburgh, just a quick trip across the 40th Street Bridge and you are in the heart of Millvale. Just along the rivers is the beautiful Riverfront Park (I think this is one of the hidden gems of the regions parks – check out my picture from this summer – you can see the river be hind the sculpture.)
This weekend is all about the kids – stop by the riverfront park from 5-7pm for all sorts of family fun – pumpkins, apple cider, face painting, scary stories and more. Just $3 a kid, parents are FREE. This is the perfect excuse to check out the riverfront park and to enjoy fun fall treats like pumpkins and apple cider and scarecrow making.

I
am always happy to write about events that become annual events. I wrote about and attended this festival last summer. The good folks in Millvale are back with their 2nd Annual Brew Festival. 3 hours of beer tasting. This festival is great because you get to hang out at the Millvale riverfront park – which is located right along the river – which is a great place to spend some time on a Saturday in August.
The Brew Festival is a fundraiser for the Millvale Borough Development Corporation and Millvale MainStreets Program and supports the continued revitalization of Millvale since the flooding in 2004.
The awesome poster for this years event was created by Tom Walker who is a Millvale resident, a graphic designer at Mullen and well known for kayaking to work. Click on the poster to see the full size version.
