The Pittsburgh
Brewery
Birthplace of Iron City Beer
|
The Pittsburgh Brewery has been making beer for over 100 years, and its trademark brew, Iron City beer, is a true Pittsburgh icon. There are certain trademark items that people seem to relate to the city of Pittsburgh. There's the Steelers, and there's Heinz ketchup. Then there's Iron City Beer. Any accurate Pittsburgh timecapsule would have to contain an Iron City Beer label. You can travel to most any city in the country and walk around wearing an Iron City Beer shirt. The odds are high that you will eventually run into someone with Pittsburgh roots and they'll say hello. The shirt is like advertising that you are a Pittsburgher. As with most brewerys, there are many specialty collector cans made to promote local sports. Iron City Beer is no different, and for years they have been putting out new collector cans for the legions of beer can afficiandos. And then there's the Pittsburgh Brewery's specialty brew, Olde Frothingslosh, an ale that looks as good as it tastes. Yes folks, Iron City Beer is a Pittsburgh tradition like no other, and for those of legal drinking age, it's not a bad tasting brew.
