 In the spring of 2014, Dudash will launch Fort Pitt Ale under Fort Pitt Brewing Company.In maintaining its traditional roots in the Western Pennsylvania region, Fort Pitt is crafted in the spirit of the first brewery established by the British Army within the confines of Fort Pitt west of the Alleghenies in 1765.Due to the absence of pure spring water for drinking, beer was generally the preferred beverage for the early pioneers.
