Who doesn't love a great discount? Naturally, the Black Friday to Cyber Monday shopping weekend presents a wealth of shopping opportunities with discounted prices.

Naturally, Pittsburgh businesses and attractions are getting in on the Black Friday celebration as well.

So in this one, we thought we would share some of the best deals that we see popping up on our feeds to help you get the most out of exploring the city. From annual memberships and season passes to special releases at area breweries and distilleries, we've found some gems!

Note: The following is a quick summary of some of our favorite deals we have found so far. Black Friday deals tend to come out on an on-going basis and we will be updating this article over time as we find more.

Area breweries tend not to do sales for Black Friday but often do special releases to mark the special day. So if you want to take a break with a great brew, you are unlikely to find much else of the year, it is a good day to hit a favorite.

  • Liberty Pole Spirits is releasing three single barrel selections on November 22nd (note: Wednesday before Thanksgiving)- High Rye “Barrel Candy”, Peatedy Rye “Reason of the Saison” and Rye “Grapes of Rye.” Note that limited releases like these tend to sell out in just a few hours with folks lining up before the distillery opens to get a spot in line.
  • Maggie's Farm Rum will be releasing special bottles online at 8pm on Thanksgiving night including a single barrel rum, a 50/50 pineapple rum aged in Liberty Pole peated whiskey barrels, and peppermint coffee liqueur. Always one of our favorite releases each year!

Free Beer at Primanti Brothers (and Possible Gift Card Promotion)

Pennsylvania-based Primanti Brothers restaurants will be giving out a free 12 ounce domestic beer to customers 21+ on Black Friday. Other restrictions are said to apply which we suspect requires a food purchase (the original post isn't clear).

Other sources suggest they may also be offering a bonus $5 for ever $25 in gift cards purchased. This may be worth asking about before purchasing as we have not seen it published elsewhere.
