New Face for Pittsburg Brewing

News »  News From The Breweriesposted Jun 6th 08:28:05PM by pbrewadmin

The new owners plan to spend $4.1 million on a new kegging line and a new gas-fired boiler, and $500,000 on marketing the brands.

The new ownership group will take over the brewery from Joseph R. Piccirilli, who bought the business out bankruptcy in 1995. Milne’s group convinced creditors to accept a repayment plan that offers creditors no more than $5.03 million on claims totaling more than $26 million.
