Iron City Premium Lager
The guy on the next bar stool says, “So, is it a real beer this week or another one of those ‘chewy’ beers?”
Lovers of straight-ahead American lagers know there’s nothing complex about the flavors in Iron City Premium Lager. It’s very see-through, thin on flavor, but it has a crisp profile, perfect for a hot summer day at the ballpark. Not chewy.
Founded in 1861, Iron City makes no pretensions; it’s the beer of the working man in Pittsburgh. Now operated by Pittsburgh Brewing Co., it was one of only 40 American breweries that survived Prohibition.
Iron City is famous within the industry for pioneering the aluminum bottle last year. Some predict it will be the packaging choice of preference in the coming years.
Iron City and its flagship IC Light (“More Taste, Less Waist”) are available nationwide.
