Life long Steelers fan, coming to my first game this Sunday. I plan on hitting Churches for one or two, and Bocktown,(near my hotel) any must hit brewery's or beer events on Saturday? If someone wants anything in Michigan (perhaps Short's?) and wants to trade for Pittsburgh stuff I'm game.

Have fun at the game. It's a great stadium. It's always a good time.
It's a beautiful stadium and town; there's no shortage on places to find some good brew either. If you're looking for a drag to walk down with a few decent bars try Carson St on the South Side. Also, if you've never been to Primanti's stop by while you're there. Enjoy!
I don't really know of any. I know PA has some weird beer laws.
I moved away from PGH 13 years ago, and only head up to visit family every few years. Not up to speed on where the best shops are at these days. However, I have a few cousins into the craft been scene up there, and can shoot out a few messages for their input. You looking for bottle shops to bring something back, craft beer bars, both?
I know you can buy beer right from a bar, or from a distributor. It used to be that you had to buy it by the case. Maybe that's changed. When I visit my brother I usually bring it in from NY, or pick it up in Ohio. I know there are very specific hours and days you can and can't buy beer.
Here's Wikipedia:
Beer may only be purchased from a restaurant, bar, licensed beer store, or distributor. Beer distributors mainly sell cases and kegs of beer, not smaller volumes of beer such as six packs. Six and twelve packs, along with individual bottles such as 40 ounce or 24 ounce beers, are sold at bars, restaurants, and licensed retailers. A licensee can sell up to 192 fluid ounces of beer per purchase. For larger quantities one must go to a beverage distributor which sells beer only by the case or keg. Beverage distributors (which also sell soft drinks) may sell beer and malt liquor, but not wine or hard liquor. Unlike the Wine and Spirits shops, people under 21 may enter most beverage distributors without an adult, since most distributors also sell water, soda, ice, and some snack foods. They are subject to the rules of the individual establishment.

Received a reply stating a couple of favorites are Blue Dust in Homestead, and BeerNutz in Blawnox for beer. Also said Proper Brick Oven and Tap Room in the Cultural District is good for food and beer by the stadium before/after the game.
