The base year for assessments is 2012 so they have an adjustment called the Common Level Ratio to account for inflation. It is currently 63.6% so they multiply the purchase price by that percentage to get an estimate of the property value in 2012.

Came here to suggest Tryp. Puts you right in the middle of Lawrenceville which is super walkable and has TONS of options for food, coffee, bakeries and by the sounds of it your main interest breweries. In Lville you've got five or six breweries (11th Hour, Hop Farm, Cinderlands, Lolev, Coven and even Trace up in Bloomfield is close) and directly across the bridge in Millvale you've got two. Plenty of bars in Lville too. I like Stinkys for an "off the main street" option. Great burgers, decent beer menu and a touch more quiet than Butler Street options. If you're into vinyl, best record store in Pgh is in Millvale (the Attic). I'd make Lawrenceville your "base." Plenty to do there and easy access to other things.

Really good suggestions here for cabin / mountain / wooded getaways and it sounds like that's what you're after. If you looking at other suggestions and want a more urban setting, honestly Cleveland is pretty kick ass for a quick weekend getaway. Art Museum is killer (and it's free!), Cleveland Zoo is pretty great, obviously rock n Roll Hall of Fame. And there are a lot of cool little areas - Tremont is pretty cool, has an amazing "dive" bar with excellent food in the Rowley Inn as well as Prosperity Social Club, a few cool breweries (Phunkenship is a pretty neat spot if you're into wild fermented/sours) and the Westside Market. Could easily make a quick weekend out of a trip to Cleveland.
