The Hazelwood Brewing Company is an historic brewery complex which is located in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1] [2]
The brewery opened in 1905 with a production capacity of 40,000 barrels per year and distributed its Bohemian, Pilsener, and Famous lagers throughout the region. During Prohibition, the company produced low-alcohol "near-beer," though it was raided several times for allegedly selling actual beer instead. After the end of Prohibition in 1933, the brewery was reorganized as the Hazelwood Beverage Company [3] and then Derby Brewing Company. Derby Brewing went out of business in 1938, after which the brewery buildings were used for various purposes. [4]
In 2017, the then-vacant property was purchased by a nonprofit organization and renovated to return it to brewery use. The renovated brew house is home to three separate breweries which share a common bottling line and beer garden area. The first of the three breweries opened for business in June, 2024. [5] [6]
The main brewery building is constructed from brick and has three sections which consist of one, one, and four bays, respectively. The middle section has four stories plus a mezzanine, while the other two sections have three stories and a mezzanine. The southern section originally had a fourth story as well but it was destroyed by a tornado in 1998.
When built, the brewery also included an ice house, bottling building, and office. Part of the ice house is still standing but the other buildings were demolished. [4]
