Pittsburgh Craft Beer Entrepreneur Matt Katase Named to 2026 '40 Under 40'
Pittsburgh Magazine published its 2026 '40 Under 40' honorees on October 30, including 36-year-old Matt Katase, owner and CEO of the Brew Gentlemen brewery and the Braddock Public House.
Katase co-founded Brew Gentlemen with a fellow Carnegie Mellon graduate while still a student, opening the original taproom on Braddock Avenue in 2014 and later expanding into a larger facility in the same community. The brand's flagship, General Braddock's IPA, has earned recognition beyond Pittsburgh. In 2024, Katase and his wife and business partner Alaina Webber opened the Braddock Public House, whose menu pairs Western Pennsylvania favorites with dishes reflecting Katase's family heritage.
Through beer festivals, riverfront events and a downtown beer garden, the company connects Braddock — once a steel town now undergoing economic transition, where small businesses like craft breweries have become a force in community revival — with the wider Pittsburgh community.
