  • The Strip District added yet another reason to visit and linger with the opening of Bonafide Beer Co. in late November. Christian Simmons (Pennsylvania Libations, Four Seasons Brewing) and Travis Tuttle (Butler Brew Works), two familiar faces in the greater Pittsburgh beer scene, formed Bonafide out of friendship and a vision to produce authentic experiences for their patrons. The refined taproom and cocktail bar makes for a great place to sip and enjoy Bonafide's modern takes on everything from IPAs to Scottish ales, Irish dry stouts and American lagers.
