  • Dogs Must Be Leashed And Under Control At All Times
  • Dogs May Not Be On Tables Or Chairs
  • Dogs Must Not Block Walkways, Doorways, or Emergency Exits  
  • Please, Clean Up After Your Pet

If Grist House Staff feels your dog is being disruptive in any way, you will be asked to leave.

Are children allowed?

Yes, Grist House Craft Brewery is an adult establishment that has always welcomed children, and we’d like to continue to do so. However, in light of a few recent incidents, we have no choice but to tighten our policy on having children in our establishment.

These house rules were created with your child’s safety in mind:

  • Children must be supervised at all times. There can not be more than 3 children per 1 adult
  • No running
  • No climbing on the tables, benches, wood piles, fences, walls, etc…
  • No throwing rocks
  • Strollers must not block entrance/exits, ramps, stairways, or walkways.
  • Please keep children with you at your table – No tables of children without an adult present. The responsible adult must be within 10 ft of their children at all times
  • Shoes and clothes must be worn at all times.
Looking for cans?

All Grist House taprooms have a can cooler for 4-packs to go. You can also view a map of our current distribution around the Pittsburgh area here. Please keep in mind that can selections may vary.

*Please note: if purchasing 4-packs at a Grist House location, cans are for off-premise consumption only.

Looking for our draft list?

Our website and Untappd are both kept up to date with our current draft list for each location.

Availability is subject to change.

Do you fill growlers or crowlers?

We will fill any clean growler.

The cleanliness of your growler is extremely important for the health of the beer. We recommend that you rinse your growler several times with hot water immediately following consumption and allow to dry completely. If a growler is soiled in any way, we reserve the right to refuse to fill it.

We sell 64oz and 32oz branded growlers if you need one. 

Beers that are available in 4-packs and limited release beers are not eligible for growler fills.

At this time we do not fill crowlers.

Can I pick up cans early or have you hold some?

No. We do not sell cans outside of taproom hours and we will not hold cans for later purchase.

If you would like to pre-pay for later pickup, you can place an order here. Orders will be held for 5 days.

Can you ship me beer?

No. We are not able to ship beer at this time.
