Mondays Brewing Company is coming soon to Peters Township, about 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh in Washington County.
We recently spoke with the owner and head brewer Sam Fee who shared details into and behind the scenes insight on what beer fans can expect from the brewery. Sam plans on opening Mondays Brewing in September of this year at 1055 Waterdam Plaza off Route 19 in Peters Township.
Why the name? It’s pretty simple actually. “We will be open on Mondays. It always drove me nuts that on the hardest day of the week, most breweries were closed and I couldn’t get good craft beer.” Sam says. “That has changed now with COVID, and more are open in the Pittsburgh area, but here in Washington County, not many are open on Mondays, and I plan to change that!”
The brewery will utilize a 5BBL brewing system, with 12 taps to start. The goal is to give the most variety to customers, while also providing other guest taps as well. The location will be able to accommodate 79 patrons and have outdoor seating as well.
Specifically, on Mondays at Mondays Brewing, there will be specials for service industry workers, since most typically have that day of the week off. Mondays will also offer crowlers of their beer to go once they open.

When talking to Sam, he mentioned a few core beliefs that will shine through in the brewery.
Quality Liquid
“We aren’t interested in doing anything half-assed. I will literally pour beer down the drain before serving something that isn’t up to standards. We will also have a wide variety so that any craft drinker can find something to try. I know a lot of breweries focus, but we will have a wide variety of styles.”
Education
“We want to share what we know about the craft to anyone willing to talk with us! So a big part of our business model is not simply making the best beer we can, but also teaching others to make or enjoy their best beers. We also want to be a place where everyone can come in and talk beer. So we will have events to foster those conversations.”
Focus On Local
“All our grains are locally sourced. In addition, all of our snack foods will be local, and we are building relationships with local restaurants to supply food to the taproom. We are really working hard to source everything locally and to support other local businesses. When you come to Mondays, you are coming to the local community.”
Community
“We are all about the brew culture vibe and bringing it to Peters Township. Right now there is a little dead zone for craft breweries between Mt. Lebanon and Canonsburg (between Hitchhiker and Rusty Gold), so we are working to become the neighborhood brewery for Peters Township.”
We will continue to update you on Mondays Brewing Company’s progress. Make sure to follow the brewery on Facebook and Instagram as well.
