About Us

WHERE WE CAME FROM
Brew Gentlemen was born out of the desire to carve our own path, build something meaningful, and share great experiences. In November of 2010, while in their junior year at Carnegie Mellon University, Asa Foster and Matt Katase decided to ditch their previous tracks of Art and Math to pursue self-defined majors with a common goal: open a brewery. After narrowly avoiding being kicked out of CMU for brewing on campus, the pair graduated in 2012 and quickly found their home in Braddock. They embarked on an 18-month DIY renovation project to convert an old electrical supply store into the brewery and taproom you can visit today. Brew Gentlemen opened its doors in May 2014, and we haven’t looked back since.

WHERE WE'RE AT
Our home at 512 Braddock Avenue has allowed us to learn, grow, and experiment. We’ve brewed countless beers, our original team of two has grown to a family of 10, and people have started coming back to Braddock. Most of all, we’ve had fun. We’re fortunate to have figured out what we loved to do at a young age, and are taking advantage of that by striving to be the absolute best we can be.

WHERE WE'RE GOING
We’ll continue on this journey as long as we wake up every morning and still love what we do. We’ll continue to grow, while staying true to our core values and purpose. Thank you for being a part of our story.
