It's a nice looking package. Everything is local. The bottle Alcoa,

And a case is a little over $16 with tax which ain't bad, about two
bucks more than the IC in regular cans.

Is the new cap one of those old-style crown caps, or is it resealable? It
would seem to lose some of the advantage of keeping the beer cold longer, if
you can't reseal it.

Not yet. The initial Iron City bottle will have a crown cap. CCL (the company
that makes it) is working on developing a resealable cap, as it has done for
Snapple.

You said "all made in the Pittsburgh area"....that is not true however.
The aluminum used in the cans is not made in the Pittsburgh area, Alcoa
does not make any aluminim in the Pittsburgh area any more. Alcoa's
corporate headquarters is of course in Pitsburgh

This is true, the aluminum is manufactured in southern states. However the
bottle is extruded in the Pittsburgh area.
