PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh brewery says it had a piece of its history stolen.
In a social media post, Penn Brewery said that the original bottom of its copper brew kettle was taken from the brewhouse Sunday morning.
The four-foot piece was removed during a 2023 repair and “represents decades of Penn Brewery history and craftsmanship,” the post says.
“What makes this especially heartbreaking is that plans were underway to turn it into a memorial plaque honoring our late former Head Brewer, Andy Rich.”
The brewery says it is working with Pittsburgh police detectives to investigate the theft and retrieve the piece.
