Nov 28 2009 Post-Gazette PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE 29, 2009 WWW.POST-GAZETTE.COM C-4 it takes more Mr. Pastorius told the Post-Gazette in 2003. sort of maxed out on sweat equity here, and now looking for bigger and better To be sure, Pennsylvania Brewing under Birchmere and Mr. Pastorius, had capital, industry know-how and an abundance of experience. The gold and bronze medals Penn Kaiser Pils and Oktoberfest won at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival attest to their beer-making bloodlines.

On that basis, they easily drank the last few stewards of Iron City and IC Light under the table. Yet, somehow those credentials and capital were not enough. What played out over the past 12 months was painful to watch for Western Pennsylvanians eager to support a local beer. Penn Brewing stopped making its own beer, outsourcing production to the Lion Brewery in Wilkes- Barre. Discriminating drinkers argued that something was lost in the translation.

The lease at the Vinial Street plant expired in February. Negotiations with Partners, the owner, were lengthy and complicated by disputes over the amount of rent, water bills and maintenance issues. The Microbrewers Fest and Okto- berfest, two big annual events, were cancelled. So was production of St. Nikolas Bock, a brew that targeted the frayed nerves of holiday shoppers.

With the brewery literally falling down around them, it came down to Birchmere wanting to sell and Mr. investment group being willing to provide consideration greater than what other, more risk averse, rescuers were willing to offer. (The Giant Eagle unit that purchased the Latrobe bottling plant formerly operated by reportedly was interested in acquiring Penn brands. Dick Roberts, a spokesman for the supermarket chain, said last week that Giant Eagle looks at a lot of opportunities, but had nothing involving Penn Brew- ing at this time.) The new ownership arrangements were announced after the Urban Redevelopment Authority approved lending Mr. group $300,000.

An equal amount could come from the Northside Leadership Conference, a coalition of North Side community groups that has offered to purchase the property from Partners. Until it can comply with the undisclosed terms of that transaction, Penn Brewing will operate under a five-year lease the landlord has agreed to. going to be a rough few months while we repair the damage that was done to the brands and replace the bottling equipment that was Mr. Pastorius said in a statement. ask for the patience and support of our many loyal He pledged that the eight brands and some new ones be brewed to the original recipe and same exacting standards as prior to the close of the North Side brewery earlier this While the overall U.S.

market is flat, business is frothier for craft brewers such as Penn Brewing. The Brewers Association, an industry trade group, reports that first half sales rose 9 percent in dollar terms after climbing 10 percent last year. The proliferating market has attracted entrepreneurs who, like Mr. Pastorius, are trying to put their passion on profitable footing. Most of them, Mr.

Pastorius included, are competent craftsmen eager to provide honest beers that appeal to something other than the lowest common denominator, a market monopolized by the big, national brands. But small marketing budgets the only handicap burdening small brewers. None of them are too big to fail, as was demonstrated across the river at Iron City as well as on Vinial Street. That said, hoping the second coming of Penn Brewing succeeds. Len Boselovic can be reached at or 412-263-1941.
