I'm fairly certain that it wasn't unintentional on the part of the Village People.

It's like the gay steel mill in that Simpson's episode with John Waters:

"We work hard.... We play hard."

As for Arrrrrrn City, I think it's absolute swill, although I do remember kinda liking Augustiner at one point. Does Augustiner still exist?

Real Augustiner Bräu (est. 1328)? Like from Germany? Hell yes it exists. It certainly did when I was in Munich in 2012, and is fantastic . Not sure about this augustiner lager from Pittsburgh you speak of. I doubt it's brewed anymore.

That was perhaps the least believable part of The Deer Hunter.

Hearty Yinzer millhunks going to their local shot-and-a-beer bar and drinking
Rolling Rock? No way! It was Ahrrrrn all the way! Rolling Rock was some prissy
upscale beer that would be consumed by guys like Richard Scaife or Andre Previn.

That and the fact that many friends who fought in Vietnam told me they had
never heard of these Russian Roulette parlors.

I don't drink much beer these days and most of the ones I do are from brewpubs, but the fuzzy yellow beers like Coors, Iron and others are all pretty close and I think Iron is as good if not better than those. Sad people around here just go with the big advertisers and drink what is on NASCAR cars.

Entirely because of this comment, I tried an Iron and then a Yuengling. I respect that tastes differ, but this is wrong. Not nearly as wrong as some of the stuff that passes for opinion on the internet these days, but still wrong. I had four Yuengling afterward, just to be sure I was fairly comparing them/kill the taste. The bartender told me I should have tried IC Light. I tipped him anyway, but that hurt.

My biggest problem with that movie is none of the main characters had a Western PA accent. All the New York actors made the effort to pronounce their 'Rs' but that was about it.

Speaking of movies, there is a seen in the movie "Reckless" where Aidan Quinn runs over an empty Iron City beer can with his motorcycle after getting fired from his job in the mill. In the realistic movie "Flashdance that portrays an extremely hot female welder quitting her job to become a broadway dancer, Iron City is consumed by the male patrons in the Strip Club. In "All the Right Moves" starring Tom Cruise, the bar patrons in the town of Ampipe drink Iron also.

Does anyone know about an old Iron City beer commercial filmed in Washington Pennsylvania at Billy 's Bar in the 90s?
