Meeting the public

We all know of "mobile marketing". Things like the Coors Light Train that goes around town to twon for big sporting events, and even the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile. Well I've been racking my brain trying to think of something Iron City could do. How about an amphibious vehicle? Something that can go from land to water, which would really help in Pittsburgh, stopping at key locales and events, promoting Iron City. It could travel down to the Waterfront, all around downtown, up the Ohio...you get the point. It would obviously not be something that runs all the time, but it might have more of an impact than just setting up a metal bin full of ice and bottles at Margarita Mamas Saturday nights. It would be even better if it was a hover craft, but that might be a long shot. Any suggestions?

Ideas for Iron City sponsorship????

Here in the 'Burgh we remember the I. C. Light Amphitheater. Well times became tough and they had to surrender their naming rights. Now that things are looking a bit more positive for Iron City, what type of venue or place can they slap their name on? I was thinking that since Mellon Bank got bought out, a slot might befor naming rites in the new Penguins arena. How would the Iron City Arena sound? Any other ideas?

Ideas for DrinkIronCity

What do our readers think should be the next step here at DrinkIronCity.com? We are alwaysfor ideas of how we can support our local brewery, and the more we know what is on your mind, the better. We will make sure to give credit where it is due. The picture contest is going along great; it is actually going along so well, that Iron City took the idea and is doing the exact same concept on their MySpace page. Check it out at myspace.com/ironcitybeer. Unfortunately, we were not told about them doing the same thing, so we were not able to promote it; I can only hope they give us the heads up in the future.

Here's to you Shelby!

We would like to thank Shelby Cole at Iron City Brewing, a promotions coordinator, for giving us the thumbs up on the website. She said employees check out drinkironcity.com often, and love having an insight on to what the true supporters think and feel. As a show of gratitude, Shelby has sent Drinkironcity.com a promo package, full of Iron City goodies. Here at the site we will be holding contests giving some of these items away. We look forward to talking to Shelby Cole in the future, and developing a good relationship between drinkironcity.com, and Iron City Brewing.

And the winner is...

West Virginia is the offical champion of the true iron city drinkers contest. They dominated with a score of 44, Carnegie Mellon University at 18, and lonely Pitt at 8. So to West Virginia, congratulations again, thanks for the support, and continue pumping that iron!

Tuesday - Check out a show downtown, there's Sweeney Todd, or The Lion King. After head to Primanti's in Market Square and enjoy a great sandwich, and a tall IC Light

what's your sign?

I was reading in the paper about how on top of the new PNC skyscraper, 3 PNC Plaza, the law firm Reed-Smith will be putting their logo on top of the building on the North and South sides. This trend is continuing throughout the city with other law firms on top of skyscrapers, and even UPMC is putting their logo, controversaly, on top of the USX Steel tower. Recently Heinz ketchup put back up their large lighted sign on the Sports and History museum in The Strip district. Wouldn't everyon like to see a large Iron City logo? Now since they do not have any real office space downtown, a sky scraper may be toough. But there is a large parking garage smack dab between the 2 stadiums on the North Shore. Plus that area will be getting more attention with the casino, and you even drive right past about the 10th story on route 279. How great of an addition would that be to the skyline?

A great Iron City special

Bar Louie - All day Thursday 16oz bottles of Iron City & I.C. Light Only $3.00 Watch the game at Bar Louie while enjoying your hometown beer!

In other local beer news....

While we like to steer clear of politics and advertising, some things are worth bringing up. Bubba's Ugly North Shore Bar and Grille is having a screw the drink tax happy hour special friday January 25th. They are charging $0.01 for certain drafts, and are boasting "take %10 of that!". All I can say is lets hope Iron City has a strong showing, and other bars follow suit.
