A nice local lager. It Ain’t perfect I’ll admit but for the price you really can’t find much better.

As a native Western Pennsylvanian, and all around Pittsburgh sports fan, I will write an extremely biased, and hypocritical review of this fine beer. Man, this stuff is so good. Holy crap. Mmm. Tastes exactly like beer. I can also detect a hint of good ’ol Pittsburgh Steel, and a note of an angel’s honey pot.

A fine Pittsburgh tradition. If ya don't understand it, that's fine. A good, middle of the road beer with no surprises. So what? I like it.

Local favorite. Nothing particularly great or noteworthy, but certainly not bad. Rather heavy, goes down well, and very clean.

A beer for the true man. A beer that embodies the city of Pittsburgh. This is a great beer that deserves much more respect than given by those outside the city of Pittsburgh.
