You have not drank rancid beer until you drank Iron City.

Dixie beer; New Orleans. Indescribably horrid.
But somehow it hung around until BLM poisoned everything.
The owner of the brewery (who also owns the Saints) made a big public PR announcement about changing the name cuz ya know...slavery. She told the public to write in suggesting names...
Last I heard of it.
Funny thing; “Dixie” is from French word “dix” for 10. The word was on currency in New Orleans dating back to late 1700s. Over the years the silent x” became Americanized with the “x” pronounced as we do today. Then became a name for the South somehow.
I don’t know that story! 😀
