Sobel's Obscure Brewery

Founded officially in 2012, Sobel's Obscure Brewery (S.O.B), is family owned and operated by the father/daughter duo, David and Jackie Sobel. Always ready for fun and laughter, they endeavored to create not only a great product, but a quirky brand. Sobel’s brand is the Gnome. The Gnomes can be seen on the logo, on various shirts for sale, the art on the walls and even the restroom.

In June of 2017, they embarked on the journey of brewing, bottling, and kegging commercially, establishing distribution networks in 34 counties across the state of Pennsylvania. In 2020, Sobel’s opened their warehouse for retail products and the outdoor biergarten and strived to keep the flow of business during the pandemic. They succeeded! In October 2022, they proudly opened their on-premise tap room location at 500 Clay Ave, Jeannette.

This stunning, Historic 1903 Department Store building boasts seating for close to 200 people and hosts a historic door, labeled “Yeast Room.” This piece belonged to the former Fort Pitt Brewing Company located in West Jeannette. The door leads not to the Yeast Room, but to the beautiful outdoor biergarten.

The establishment hosts live music, food trucks, private events, and Bob Ross painting courses. Their calendars are updated regularly at Sobel's Obscure Brewery (sobbrews.com). Visit and “Get Your Gnome On!”
