6 Distillery Tours for Tasting Pittsburgh Spirits

View all City Cast Pittsburgh episodes

Pittsburgh's the birthplace of American whiskey, and hundreds of years later, our local distilleries have branched out to make all kinds of spirits. While you can enjoy local brands at bars all over the city, you can also go directly to the sources themselves for samples and tours. Host Megan Harris is joined by City Cast team member Zack Durkin, who is sharing more about Pittsburgh's distilleries tours, from the big multi-million dollar facilities to the small mom-and-pop operations.

Still feeling thirsty? The PLCB's running a lottery for the chance to buy top-shelf whiskey.
