Our approach is "We love beer, so why not make a career out of it?!?" With this in mind, we do everything we can to further our love affair with the wonderful fermented beverage we have all come to know and love! Beer can be simple and beer can be complex. We don't subscribe to one methodology or the other because if it's good then we drink it (and therefore we will also brew it). Our style will be ever changing with the trends whether it's one we started or one we followed. We will definitely have our flagships which will stay consistent but flavor is our muse and the styles and creations we create will follow her wherever she may take us. Ride along with us and hopefully we all have a blast doing it...

Helicon after the sacred home of the Muses in Greek mythology. Our logo reflects that history with a Greek harp and barley stem. Our 48-seat taproom typically features 8–12 Helicon beers available by sample or draft, with growlers and kegs also available. We do not have a kitchen, so guests are welcome to bring their own food, order from local restaurants, or visit one of the Pittsburgh-area food trucks we regularly host.
