Black and yellow! Steelers fans are world wide but there's nothing like seeing a game in person.

Good beer, good German food and Octoberfest is so much fun!
Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh
We've been here several times and the food is always good, the beer cold and the views incredible!
Coughlin's Law Kitchen and Ale House
This place is a must stop if you're in the area for a meal. A church turned brewery…they kept a lot of the original stained glass windows and more. It really is beautiful and the food is good too!
