Iron City Beer

Anybody who has watched the remake of Night of the Living Dead might remember the end of the movie with the drunk rednecks shooting zombies. If you look closely at the cans there chugging, you can see that the beer is called Iron City Beer. This is just not some gag prop Romero set up to pay tribute to his home city, Pittsburgh. ICB is real,and I found one of the only places Pittsburgh's staple lager is found this far east.



I found ICB in the Beer store of Beer stores. A little polish deli in Park Slope I like to call Heaven. Not only was I able to find a cheap beer I have been craving for years. I also have 500+ beers to salivate over. It is one of those places I'm going to have to make a weekly stop(if only it were close enough for a daly visit).

There is nothing special about the taste of Iron City Beer. If you like PBR,ICB will be right up your alley. The companynhas a long and rich history though. You can check out the Pittsburgh Brewing Companies history here:

It's hard to believe,but after you read the wiki,you'll discover the PBC changed the way we all drink beer,and despite bakruptcy, are still acting as innovators to this day (check out the alminum bottle).
