For more shocking news, the US hops (beer ingredient) industry is about 1/2 of what it used to be a few years ago.
In 2004, one country outpaced Germany for hop cone exports to the US.........Take a guess who it was?
All our beer are belong to them.

"Castle of Come?" Well, hey, it's a French wine, so I wouldn't be surprised.

The best beer in the entire world is Old Frothlingslosh seasonally brewed by Iron City. Old Frothlingslosh had the foam on the bottom. I even have an autographed flat by non other than Miss Frothingslosh! Wow! What wonderful memories. I had my first Iron City beer (a sip, anyway) when I was eight years old. It tasted awful! However, I have grown to love Iron City; taste just like Old Dominion, but is a lot less expensive. Really good with pizza, pretzels, and kielbasi. I hope the brewery can pull out of this financial mess!

I've always understood Iron City as being right down there with Nasty Gansett and Black Lab.

The important question is:
What will happen to 'Old Frothingslosh'?
