Located in the heart of Jeannette’s revitalization district, Sobel’s Obscure Brewery presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational brewery, restaurant, and historic mixed-use commercial property all in one package. This approximately 18,000 SF three-story building blends historic character with major modern upgrades and is ready for its next owner to continue operations or expand the concept even further. The main level features a beautifully renovated brewery and taproom with original 1904 tin ceilings, oak hardwood floors, updated bathrooms, and seating capacity for approximately 175 guests indoors plus an additional 150-person outdoor patio space. Included in the sale is a 2022 seven-barrel brewing system, nine stainless steel fermenter/brite tanks, enclosed grain room with vacuum system, automatic keg washer, walk-in cooler, secondary cooler, three ice machines, bar equipment, furnishings, tables, chairs, and extensive operational inventory. The brewery currently distributes throughout 12 counties and the sale includes over 130 proprietary beer recipes, branding assets, and brewery van.

The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements including multiple updated HVAC systems including a dedicated 5-ton brew room system, upgraded 2" and 4" water mains, sprinkler system, new sump pump, two updated hot water tanks, and dual electric services including 200-amp 3-phase and 600-amp single-phase service. A 17-camera security system expandable to 32 cameras is already installed. The upper two floors offer approximately 6,000 SF of additional value-add opportunity with plumbing, natural light, HVAC ductwork, and elevator shaft already in place, creating ideal potential for apartments, event space, offices, entertainment venue, or expanded hospitality use.

This property offers investors, restaurateurs, brewers, and entrepreneurs the opportunity to acquire a recognized regional brand with strong operational infrastructure already in place. Conveniently located within close proximity to Route 30, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Greensburg, and the greater Pittsburgh market, Sobel’s Obscure Brewery combines historic architecture, manufacturing capability, restaurant operations, and redevelopment potential into one unique commercial offering. Turnkey brewery opportunities with real estate, equipment, inventory, and established distribution footprint are extremely difficult to replicate at this scale.
