"Pittsburgh Brewing is a part of me," said Bill Killian, 59, of Ambridge. "My father drank it before me and his father drank it before him."

Iron City Beer. Best for boilermakers.

Pittsburgh Brewing survived the imprisonment of two former owners: Australian tycoon Alan Bond and Michael Carlow, a Uniontown native who was thrown out in 1995 after he was accused of a $31.3 million check-kiting scheme against PNC Bank.

Iron City is the single nastiest beer I've ever tasted. It makes PBR look like Chateau d'Yquem.

Good old IC Light, a nice trademark. So ... the ownership group dumps its pensions on PBGC (meaning us) and gets to keep control? Let's hope the new bankruptcy laws get hold of management's "pensions" and voids any golden parachutes.

When I was in high school in the eighties, we could always scrape together seven bucks and get us a case of this:

I kinda like the "Beer in a Brake Fluid Can" look. Probably a close match in taste as well...

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'?

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :(

As a teenager I had a pyramid of Super Steelers Iron City cans nearly to the ceiling of my room! I wish I had a picture... though I'd rather have another Superbowl! :)

BARF ALERT----

In 2004, the US brewers imported about 3.5 million lbs of hop cones from FRANCE, about 100,000 lbs more than from Germany!

data here page 21

Time to start asking questions, take names and kick some a$$. I won't drink Surrender Beer.

In 1972 when I was going to college in DC I had cash flow problem one weekend but was saved when I found I could get a case of Iron City for $4.00.
