About Pittsburgh Brewing Company
The history of Pittsburgh Brewing Company can be traced back to the mid-1800s when Iron City Brewing was established at Liberty Avenue and 34th Street in Lawrenceville. Pittsburgh Brewing Company has been operating for over 150 years and survived because of their product innovation. Pittsburgh Brewing was known for many "firsts" in the brewing world. It introduced the world's first snap-top can, established in conjunction with Alcoa. It also introduced the first twist-off resealable cap, was the first to package draft beer in a can and was the first to produce cans with printed scenes honoring the achievements of local professional and college sports teams. In 1977, Pittsburgh Brewing Company, as just one of the 40 breweries left in the United states, introduced IC Light, one of the first light beers in the country. Now, the company is currently owned by a local family, and is working to continue its tradition of brewing innovative world class beers and supporting the local Pittsburgh community. Pittsburgh Brewing Company also partners with the local professional and college sports teams as well as local events.
Pittsburgh Brewing Company is the producer of Iron City Beer, IC Light, IC Light Mango, Old German, American/American Light, and Block House.
