We, Pittsburghers, know a little something about old buildings being transformed into amazing new attractions. The Church Brew Works, a former church, for example, just might be one of the most unique places to dine in all of Pittsburgh. And, it’s not a bad place to get some handcrafted brews, either. If you’re looking to explore unique breweries a bit further from home, however, you’ll definitely want to add this historic train station turned brewery near Pittsburgh to your bucket list.
Listen for the whispers of history at The Brewerie at Union Station in Erie. Yes, you'll have to drive just under two hours from downtown Pittsburgh, but you'll quickly see why the journey is worth it.

Today, the historic former train station serves as a charming brewery and restaurant, where you can treat yourself to The Brewerie's own handcrafted beers.
The Brewerie's beers are not bottled or sold outside of the brewery at this time. However, you can take a growler or a portable pint to go.
Try such draft beers as the Peanut Butter Cup (seasonal) and Apparition Amber Ale. And, if you want a tour of the brewery, grab 19 of your closest friends (at least 20 guests must register and pay $5 each for the tour and sampling) for an insightful experience.
And, vegetarians, you'll have plenty of meatless options, too - from the garden burger and balsamic portabella wrap to the veggie wrap and the grilled triple cheese.
Sample the beer at The Brewerie at Union Station, open Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight.
