Iron City May Can In Latrobe

May 26, 2009 By Jay Brooks

I saw this last week in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Then & Now.

You may recall that in January of this year, Iron City announced temporary layoffs of approximately 25% of their workforce while they shut down the canning line for evaluation.

New evidence is now pointing to their moving their canning business to the nearby Latrobe Brewery, the former home of Rolling Rock beer. They’ve been producing their cans at High Falls Brewing, which is in Rochester, New York. But fueled by the Latrobe workers’ recent approval of an 18-month labor contract, it’s looking more likely that Iron City may find a home closer to Pittsburgh, and Iron City is, after all, “The Official beer of the Pittsburgh Nation.” Read all about it here.
