Pittsburgh's name is usually associated with the Iron City brand, but they also brew a number of beers under contract for beer marketing companies.

Pittsburgh Brewing declared bankruptcy in December 2005. New owners took over in September 2007, and were operating the company as Iron City Brewing, but the Liberty Avenue plant finally closed for good in 2009.
