In this episode of Travel Tales with Fergal, I talk all about the city of Pittsburgh in the USA, ahead of Aer Lingus’ new direct Dublin–Pittsburgh service, launching on 25 May 2026.

My guest today is Aadam Soorma, Head of Marketing at Trace Brewing, for a local’s guide to a city that has transformed from steel and industry into one of America’s most creative, welcoming and community-driven destinations.

From Pittsburgh’s craft beer scene and neighbourhood culture to Bloomfield, Lawrenceville, sport, food, art and the city’s famous black-and-gold pride, Adaam shares why Pittsburgh should be firmly on Irish travellers’ radar.
