Bringing Iron City back to glory days

I was interviewed for a story(that’s not me in the pic) about the recent purchase of Iron City Brewing (formerly Pittsburgh Brewing Company) and what they should do to become a dominate name once again in the beer industry. Also a side piece was done on what I think is the greatest beer marketing icon ever, Olde Frothingslosh. The piece ran yesterday so I’ve linked to the story below.  Yet another masterpiece by Mike Pound :)

Here is an small piece of the article “There is a comfort zone with this beer in Pittsburgh and with yinzers all across the globe, so getting rid of it would be a huge mistake,” Derda said. “You need to build on your brand. You don’t need glitz and glamour to have someone try a new product, you just need a great-tasting beer.”

Due to the size of the actual paper, you can read the whole article online here and view a scan of the Frothingsloth article here.

cheers!
