The hosts
Who Are We?
Brewing for a Cause is hosted by Three Rivers Underground Brewers (TRUB), a longtime Pittsburgh homebrew club.
Brewing for a Cause is TRUB’s annual charity event, which is one of Pittsburgh’s longest running beer festivals. Now in our 18th year, we have helped raise approximately $350,000 donated entirely to charity.
