Ben your getting your PA regional beers mixed up. Iron City is from Pittsburgh. Philly was known for Schmidt's, Schaeffer, and Piels. Maybe he could have a Yeungling from tiny Pottsville in nearby Schuylkill County.

It does run much better now.
It was that way for so long, I think I lost track of what "good" felt like.
