2025 is booked and being built out
thank you to all who came last year, helped, poured, brewed, danced, and celebrated.
stoked to set sail again in a few months
THE BEER BARGE is an annual event, hosted by CommonWealth Press, where we try to cram as many local breweries, bands, and as many yous - onto the gateway clipper as legally possible.
We aim for the most Pittsburgh centric/local-supporting/fun-having/all-for-one-one-for-all good time that the rivers will support.
it is our deepest and sincerest hope that you join us and celebrate all of this together.

Our Goal
is kind of an experiment...
our initial goal was to create a collaboration between a bunch of independently minded businesses, brewers, bands, and the people who support those of that ilk - and do something huge.
and by “huge” we mean - hundreds of people renting the Gateway Clipper for 3 hours to float around and enjoy each other’s work, music, effort, and company.
but honestly - this is just a really elaborate way of saying - we like to party.
and thanks to a bunch of like-minded people - it’s been working for over 10 years now.
SPONSORS
we are building our team of sponsors - if youd like to join in the festivities as part of the crew, contact us and letus know
COOKIE TABLE. MUSIC. GLASSES. PROGRAM. TICKETS
this is a pricey endeavor and we rely on other small businesses to help pull it off.
email us if youre interested in being part of this chaos and sponsoring the beer barge.
sponsors receive tickets, advertising, table space, and just about anything they think would help get them the attention they damn well deserve.
