A shot and a beer. A boilermaker. A two-step. Whatever name you assign this classic dive-bar combo, it’s the best way to have your brew and drink it, too. Try these paired-up Pittsburgh craft specials the next time you want the best of both worlds. Former distiller at Maggie’s Farm Rum, Rachel Carr, is behind the bar on this one!
