LOL! I just happily re-read most of this thread, wondering what had refreshed it. I am glad Beer has found a good local brew...

but I gotta giggle at Bobert's insistence that Iron City is 'special'.

A "life changin' experience", he says.... Yup! You don't think that beer got it's name just from its locale, do you? Why, I suspect doctors up there give it to patients with iron-poor blood! Drink too much, and you may start to rust iffn you get wet!

I will admit Iron City HAS flavor..(unlike some American beer)... but last time I tried some, I felt my tongue trying to point North for a couple hours. ☺

I just last night had some CopperHook from the RedHook brewery. Really decent, refreshing Spring Ale with taste.
