The Eberhardt and Ober Brewing Company was established at Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, in 1870 by John Peter Ober and his brother-in-law William Eberhardt, son of another Allegheny City, Pennsylvania brewer. The small brewery merged with the J.N. Straub Brewing Company in 1883. Located in the heart of historical Deutschtown, the sprawling complex became a permanent fixture of north Pittsburgh during the late nineteenth century. The modern-day Pennsylvania Brewing Company is located on this site (incorporating the surviving main office and administrative building).
