Iron City Beer
Crisp barley malt carries notes of sweet corn beneath American hops, and the lager finishes clean. At 4.7 % ABV it drinks easily, and the brewery calls it best served ice-cold. The recipe goes back to 1861, and in 1936 Iron City became Pittsburgh Brewing's first canned beer, sold in rolled steel containers marketed as canteens.
