[PRCo] Re: Steelers and Streetcars

Iron City is in chapter 11 or 14 or something, I think they finally settled the water bill but are now dealing with pensions...... It is so depressing - I had to drink that swill for 10 years growing up, I go away for a decade and during that time they figured out how to make it good, actually very good, and now they are going belly up.  Anyone know how I can get a case in Texas?

I was out for a while in Chicago last night - does that count?

By the way, Iron City has become a cult beer in the Midwest.  A case of 24 
cans sells for $24 here - it's probably $11/case in Pittsburgh.  Rolling 
Rock is also WAY overpriced here.  Meanwhile, national brands like Budweiser 
and Miller are $10/case in Chicago.
