Four stars for the beer and the experience. The brews were quite good -- I had the ThunderHop IPA and Pipe Organ Pale, and both fit nicely into the American tradition, with the Pipe Organ being slightly hoppier than expected, with a nice body and rounded flavor, and the ThunderHop approaching super-hop tendencies but not going over the top. \n\nThe space is great for visiting with friends and family, as long as nobody will be offended by brewery equipment holding the place of honor on the altar.\n\nThe food was solid but not a revelation, but it does just what it needs to, to not get in the way of the fun you're having enjoying beers in an old church. I had a buffalo burger that was well-cooked without drying out at all, and the housemade chips were a great touch. Our server was very friendly and helpful in navigating the menu and the takeout options (mmm, growlers). I don't know about the pricing, because my in-laws picked up the tab, which I'm sure also added to my enjoyment. \n\nIf you like beer, or dining for the experience, this is definitely worth a visit while in the 'burgh.
