Brewery Profile

TRUSS Brewing Company

Pleasant Hills visitors looking for a small-scale brewery will find TRUSS Brewing Company set up as a nano-brewery with a practical, pickup-oriented model rather than a traditional bar-first operation. Its beer program centers on major styles that rotate, with specialty and more unusual brews appearing alongside them. The food side is unusually prominent for a brewery of this size: a wood-fired oven turns out Neapolitan-style pizza made with imported Italian ingredients and scratch-made organic dough. The broader menu includes handmade items such as filet mignon beef tips, sandwiches made daily, and ribs prepared with a signature dry-hopped “BBQ” sauce, with locally sourced produce, meats, and dairy used where offered.

Travelers sampling breweries in this part of Pennsylvania often look for variety without committing to a single house identity, and TRUSS fits that pattern through its rotating approach. A visit can cover familiar beer styles, something more specialty-driven, or alternatives to beer. The brewery also produces gluten-friendly, all-natural seltzers and ciders made with real fruits and vegetables, which gives mixed groups more options than a beer-only stop. The wood-fired pizza and broader scratch-made menu make the visit less dependent on tasting flights or pints alone; it can function as a food pickup, a casual outdoor meal, or a beer-to-go stop during a day in the area.

For planning purposes, TRUSS primarily offers growlers, crowlers, and pints for pickup and delivery, so visitors should confirm the current pours and ordering setup directly with the brewery before heading over. On site, the outdoor seating is self-service and accommodates more than 200 people, and the brewery often hosts live events. Since the beer list rotates, the day’s selection is best checked through the brewery rather than assumed in advance. Catering is also available for private and corporate events, which may be relevant for visitors organizing gatherings rather than making a standard brewery stop.
