The Pittsburgh Channel.com reported that after 148 years Iron City Brewing (formerly Pittsburgh Brewing Company) located in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh is relocating. The production facilities are moving 40 miles away to the City Brewing plant in Latrobe, PA. The company's corporate and administrative offices will remain in Pittsburgh. Tim Hickman, company president, cited infrastructure repairs needed at the brewery as a major reason for the move. It's estimated that the necessary repair costs would have totaled over 12 million dollars. Expect the final batch of beer to brew the week of June 22nd.
I have a feeling that the move will do nothing to improve the taste of Iron City. Bad from Pittsburgh or bad from Latrobe. Does it really matter?
