Be sure to stop by this re-purposed church for a delicious craft brew . The copper brewing tanks work their "miracles" on the altar you sit at the bar or in the pews and admire the stained glass .

Judy Rankin

What an interesting brew pub . The food was amazing and the beer great. You have to go here, you won't find this kind of atmosphere anywhere else.

TheillKittyKat

Left side is all open seating otherwise a table will take forever to wait on...they brew right on site and the church is still Roman Catholic beautiful...a must for true beer lovers!

Anastasia Giorgiova

Get the Pittsburgh salad (with French fries ), Buffalo chicken & blue cheese (or ranch). Note: I generally do not like salads , however I highly approve of THIS salad . Fries are better than croutons !

Jonathan Stephenson

Unique ambiance and a very large bar area. House beers are good and vary widely in style. Come for lunch when the prices are lower. I do miss the pizza oven.

Kate Schreck

Homemade pierogies are bleeding fantastic!! Gotta get the special of the day! Do the samplers as well !! Only $13 for eight, 5 oz pours! Can't beat that and the stouts are to DIE FOR!!

Allison Kaminski

I mean it’s a brewery in a church ! How cool?!? Food is pretty good too, esp the lamb meatballs . Get flights to try all the beers

Unique concept and interior — and the outdoor terrace is a great option on a sunny day. The IPA is solid, as is the French Onion Soup .

R. Guerra

Great beers . Shame their pizza wood oven caught fire recently and no pizza offerings were available

Sara Welker

Great atmosphere! My food was really good too. I had my first pierogie , and it was better than expected. The quinoa salad was also tasty.

Jen Cunningham

Excellent beers . Be sure to check out the patio , too.

Michael Whelan

Tey the flight. Lots of choices for any beer fan of all walks of life, but the coconut stout is by far the best

Amanda Mills

Everything is good! Get beer tasters , their house italian dressing , and DEFINITELY HANDS DOWN the bread pudding !!! Decent price for superb quality!

Lella Cir

Awesome experience! The drink prices are very reasonable, and the food isn't bad either. Just go for the atmosphere if your not a huge beer drinker!

Tim Deng

Church converted to restaurant . Awesome vibes and pretty good food. Good pierogis !

Jon Cassie

Be mindful that there are two menus available in the dining room, one if you sit on the left, the other if you sit on the right...and they have rather different selections!

Craig Willis

Excellent! Try the spinach & smoked Gouda dip then the pierogi sauté with chicken . I'm sure you beer drinkers would enjoy the house brews , too!

Senator Bob Casey

I'm pushing for legislation that would cut taxes for small breweries . The Small BREW Act would help small breweries like Church Brew Works by cutting the excise tax that small breweries pay. Read more

Amy R

The food was wonderful! Their mushroom soup was nearly a religious experience (yeah, I went there...) and the service was top notch.

Kyle Williams

Really. Best church I've been to. I wish I lived here I would start going back to church again.

Campbell Bird

Great beers , friendly staff , beautiful space. Literally nothing bad to say about this place.

debbie

Well worth the trek. Beer sampler is an awesome deal w 8 5oz pours for $13. Sign up for the mailing list for a free pint glass .

Michael Thole

It's highly rated for pizza , but they no longer serve it due to the pizza oven burning down at some point in the past. Perogies are delicious.

David Greenberger

The sampler for 12.95 8, 5oz beers and figure out where you want to take your night ;-)

Alexandre Munhoz

It is worth a visit because of the unusual location. A brewery inside an old church .. the beer is good. The food is not.

JH H-D

Stunning interior! Can be touristy but the beers are great and the staff are friendly

Rebecca Miller

If you have young kids, don't expect crayons at the table. Caters to adults, but does provide kid-friendly food and drink!

Greg S.

The church itself is really pretty and a great concept. If only they spent more time making the beer taste good.

Andra Zapartan

Cool place. Give it a try!

Eric O

The sampler is eight 5-ounce drafts , so prepare yourself mentally and physically before ordering it (and then definitely do because it's awesome).

Amy Cummings

Go here and get a flight of beers , then you can tell your parents you went to church .

Ted Roehm

A must stop for one of the most interesting breweries I’ve ever been to.

John Poulin

Amazing atmosphere. Try the beer . Large menu that includes many options

Ashli Worden

We tried the untraditional pierogies , risotto balls and pierogies entree. Everything was amazing, but you HAVE to try the risotto balls . The atmosphere is

Zachary Grafton

I'll definitely be back for the pulled pork tostadas . Great price and delicious.

Sean Curry

Great beer list . Definitely make your own taster . Additionally all their desserts are great!!

Justin Locke

Fantastic Samplers of beer and great atmosphere

Tauna Perenovich

Buffalo burger , Greek chicken wrap & of course the Dunkel!

Mike Ayers

Great location, wide selection of beers and great food! I really enjoyed their IPA

Scott Norlin

The southwestern pizza with chicken on it is amazing!

Katie Eytch

Extensive menu for all tastes. Get all the micro brewed beers made there!

Jennifer

Best beer and you get to praise God for it in church . And on the 8th day God made beer .

Robert Mason

Brew tanks on the alter and tables in place of pews. What's not to love?

GingerBeardMan

Food here is hit and miss depending on the day, but worth going just for the atmosphere. Sit on the bar side for less-expensive menu options.

Hugo Herrera

The traditional pierogies are amazing!

Kathryn Fulton

Good service , nice renovation. Pizza was really good. The black peppered pasta was delicious but the portion was very small and it was pricy .

Sarah Wasilewski

The dining room & pub have different menus after 4pm so be sure to ask for both!!

Travis Tindell

Cool concept but weird atmosphere. Felt like the BJ’s of breweries .

Dustin Smith

The staff is amazing. Really know their stuff. Beer is unbelievable.
