Our Story.
Located in the Blawnox Borough of Pittsburgh, PA, our taproom is a welcoming space where guests can enjoy beers and each other’s company. We've built a forum where ideas can be shared and relationships can be formed.
We produce the highest-quality lagers and ales, along with strong beers and mixed fermentation recipes destined for wood maturation.
This is our story, years in the making — and we can’t wait for you to be part of the next chapter.
What’s in a name?
Old Thunder has a deep and personal meaning to each of us:
A profound connection between natural forces and human craftsmanship. Born from three different journeys, it represents the force created when those paths converged.
At our core is a lifelong passion for beer and brewing — where precision, artistry, and intention transform raw ingredients into something extraordinary. Our process balances strength and subtlety, reflecting our reverence for the past and commitment to shaping the future. We draw inspiration from stories, music, old recipes, and past lives.
What about the logo?
A blend of symbolism and typography: the sledgehammer is a harbinger of change — a symbol for the brewery we’ve built. It represents innovation, determination, and the power to create.
Just as thunder echoes across time and space; we create beers that resonate.
Our Team.

We can't wait to pour you a pint.
Our Beers.
False Kingdom
We brew this IPA year-round with a blend of the best American hops. It is bright and balanced, with a fruit-forward hop character. False Kingdom was built on experience, creativity, and passion.
340 Lager
Cask Program
We create true cask-conditioned ales, utilizing UK-grown ingredients and traditional techniques. Join us in the Taproom on Tuesdays for new cask releases - served up proper from our Angram beer engine.
Our Munich-style Helles brewed with the finest German Pilsner malted barley and a blend of Hallertau hops; single-decocted and naturally carbonated. 340 Lager is clean, succinct, and endlessly-drinkable.
Barrel Program
A dichotomy of passions:
1. We brew strong beers that are designed for long maturation in choice barrels from our favorite distilleries. Stay tuned for anniversary bottle releases.
2. We also focus on low gravity Saisons that are aged in wine barrels with our house mixed culture, and then naturally-conditioned in the bottle for many months.
