Iron City Beer 

n. The main product made by Iron City Brewing Company, which was formerly the Pittsburgh Brewing Company until the brewery moved from Pittsburgh to Latrobe, PA. While Iron City Beer is classified as a macro-Pilsner, it is closer in taste to an India Pale Ale. As such, Iron City Light Beer has more flavor than most "regular" macro-Pilsners. Iron City Beer is known as an "ahn" by the locals (in Pittsburghese), and is a significant part of Pittsburgh's culture, and particularly its sports culture.
People who are used to other macro-Pilsners like Budweiser or Miller find Iron City Beer to be too malty and over-hopped--descriptions range from piss to "the slag off a steel mill."

Iron City, TN 

A badass little town in southern Tennessee. Know for the famous shoals creek canoe run and parties and bonfires. Its about the only place where there isnt a single black person probably because of all of the rednecks, country folks and cowboys and its one of the few places that people still fly confederate flags on their trucks. Its also one of the few places that people still run and brew moonshine and if you get caught you can buy your way out with the sherrif. You can drive down the road and see a 69' dodge charger painted like the General Lee and drive another mile and see a brand new mustang shelby although most of the people drive badass jacked up trucks with mud tires. Its a pretty cool place to live
