Grist House Craft Brewery - More beer samples! Try their flagship beers like Camp Slap, Fire on the Hill, Gristly Bear Brown, or Hazedelic Juice IPA
Millvale - Discover Millvale, a small neighborhood just off the beaten paths, and learn why it has this name (spoiler alert: It was not the steel mills! :-)
40th Street Bridge - Cross this bridge by bike to take in a different angle of Pittsburgh’s city view (worth it!)

The best of beer in the Burgh - Tons of fun and a brilliant way to get out of downtown and see a bit of the real Pittsburgh. Who knew there were so many breweries and so much good beer in one place?! :)
