Iron City Beer in Philly

Anybody know whether it's possible to find Iron City beer in Philly? The Foodery doesn't carry it.

    Iron City? oh man, it'd take a heaping helping of nostalgia to make that brew drinkable.

    That being said, I'm pretty sure I've seen it at the Bella Vista distributor, 11th and Fitzwater

      Amen. We had a special name for it in college unprintable here - something about jungle felines passing water.

      Cruz, if you need an emergency can, I have one here. Its a special edition from 1997 commemorating the induction of Iron Mike Webster into the Hall of Fame. Can't guarantee that its drinkable, but then, was it ever?

      I remember that the Memphis Taproom did a Pittsburgh theme night one time, and they served Iron City. I don't know if they still run the event or not. Maybe you can ask them where they got it.
