During the late 1700s the area that would later become known as Mount Pleasant, was a bustling crossroads en-route between Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. It was at this time that the local residents found themselves in the midst of the infamous “Whiskey Rebellion”. Bootlegging and lawlessness quickly spread, attracting all manner of rough and unsavory characters. As its infamy grew, the once quiet community came to be known as “Helltown”. After decades, the stigma of having such a nefarious title prompted a group of citizens to take action and abolish the devilish moniker. On April 11, 1863 the group gathered, formed the Devil in effigy, and proceeded to parade him through the streets attended by a musician playing the rogue’s march. At the hour of two, a large concourse of people joined the procession and burnt him amidst a discharge of musketry, thereby symbolically purging the town of its notorious past. Our brewery, named in homage of our historical roots, began as a small group of hobbyist home brewers. Several years, and countless batches later we decided to push our weekend hobby to the next level, and in the spring of 2011 operations had officially begun. We keep the spirit and craftsmanship of our small-scale origins alive, and we truly feel that the passion and dedication put forth manifests itself in every beer we produce. Our beers, with styles ranging from the classic to the contemporary, use only the finest and freshest ingredients possible. We don’t believe in compromise, and quality is never sacrificed for convenience.
