Duquesne Pilsener

Built for the American Worker. As Western Pennsylvania's industrial economy boomed in the late 1800s, Pittsburgh became one of America's great brewing cities. In 1899, the Duquesne Brewing Company was founded on Pittsburgh's South Side with a vision of producing world-class b**r using the most advanced brewing technology of its day. The brewery quickly earned a reputation for quality with Duquesne L***r, Silver Top, and later the iconic Duquesne Pilsener. After surviving Prohibition and growing into Pennsylvania's largest brewery by 1940, Duquesne became a household name throughout the region. The beloved "Prince of Pilsener" became one of Pittsburgh's most recognizable b**r mascots. Despite decades of success, changing market conditions and increased national competition ultimately forced the brewery to close in 1972. The Duquesne story, however, was far from over. In 2008, Pittsburgh attorney Mark J. Dudash and his wife, Maria, incorporated the new Duquesne Brewing Company, reviving the historic brand with the goal of bringing one of Pittsburgh's most cherished b**rs back to life. In 2010, Duquesne Pilsener was officially reintroduced, brewed at the Latrobe Brewing Plant, the former home of Rolling Rock. The first batch of the iconic Duquesne Pilsener hit the market in August that year, marking the brand’s return to shelves after decades of absence. Duquesne Pilsener won a Silver Medal at the 2011 World B**r Championships, becoming an internationally recognized pilsener and reestablishing Duquesne as a respected name among American craft and heritage b**rs. Building the Next Chapter

In 2024, longtime b**r industry businessman Bill Clevenger acquired Duquesne Brewing Company, continuing the work begun by the Dudash family while positioning the brand for long-term growth. In 2025, the company introduced a refreshed look for Duquesne Pilsener and Duquesne Pilsener LT, honoring the brewery's rich heritage while appealing to today's consumers. Working closely with the brewmaster, the team recreated the award-winning flavor that generations have known as "The American Original." The first 30-packs rolled off the production line in March 2025 and quickly reached retailers through an expanding network of distributors. Today, Duquesne Brewing is focused on expanding across Pennsylvania and the United States, introducing a new generation of b**r drinkers to one of America's great heritage b**r brands while staying true to the hardworking values on which it was built. More than 125 years after its founding, Duquesne Brewing continues to honor the American worker, celebrate timeless craftsmanship, and brew b**r that stands for quality, pride, and tradition.
