The following Summer 2025 Courses offer tours to Pittsburgh attractions:
5446: Penn Brewery: Tales & Tour (Linda Nyman)
Tuesdays 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM; starting 6/24/2025, ending 7/1/2025
Penn Brewery launched Pittsburgh’s contemporary craft beer scene in the 1980s, but this hometown stalwart traces its origins all the way back to the German immigrants who settled in the City of Allegheny on Pittsburgh’s North Side in the mid-nineteenth century. Join former Penn Brewery co-owner Linda Nyman to learn about Penn’s history, craft beer and brewing process, and the architecture of this fascinating building complex, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This course will be taught in two sessions. In the first, we’ll meet at the Osher CMU campus, and Linda will share her experiences and adventures from her thirteen years with Penn Brewery. In the second, we’ll convene at Penn Brewery, where you’ll meet Penn’s brewmaster, tour the brewing operation, and finish with a discussion of the facility’s architectural evolution. Prost!
