BEER

[circmand]

Just to update you on that situation: Iron city beer will soon be brewed in the old Rolling Rock brewery. Iron city just ceased production in Pittsburgh last month. Seems they ran up a $2 million tab with the water company that they neglected to pay.

So the Iron City brand is moving out to Latrobe, PA to start over. Hopefully they can find the old Rolling Rock recipe and start making a quality product. Iron City was always

The tab was for sewage not water. For those of you unfamiliar with Pa they are truely odd. Your sewer bill is figured out on the amount of water you use not the volume of product you remit. Since 98% of the water a brewery makes goes out in bottles and not form the drains the Sewage company was charging obscene amounts for sewage they never had to treat.

Other PA oddities

When buying beer if you want 1 or 2 six packs you buy at a bar. You cannot buy 3 six packs. But if you want a case you go to a distributor. You can not buy beer in a convenience store or grocery store

When buying alchohol you go to a state owned liquor store and get waited on by snotty over paid union employees who are state employees and cany get fired. They used to all be closed on Sunday until the state realized that they were losing money because people that lived closed to another state would go across state lines and buy there. So they decided that the stores within 10 miles of another state would open on Sunday the rest are still closed.

Whe moving to PA. You go to one place for your license another for road test and a 3rd for vehicle inspections, They do not take cash and do not mention it when you call about coming for a license. They also cannot tell you the cost over the phone so you must make 2 trips. To top it off you have 1 month to get all this done.
