Perhaps Tech was a product of Iron City; I thought it was a separate
company, but that was a long time ago and memories fail. This much I
remember: Tech Pilsner was, as the name implies, a light beer, and I
suppose was named foe Carnegie Tech, before Mellon was added. Every
spring they relabeled a lot of production labeled as Old Froshingslosh,
which the label described as "The Pale Stale Ale for the Pale Stale
Male"; in addition to that sinking foam; it also had the nakesake's
picture--a very drunken and dissipated looking roue. I really liked both
Iron City and Tech back then. I'm sorry that Tech is gone, and that Iron
City is in trouble; but considering the state of manufacturing in the
US, I'm not surprised. When even Budweiser was sold overseas.....

Excuse me!!!!!!!!!!! Don't know what I was thinking (or not thinking)
about. Football, not baseball, is my preferred game.
