Just saw the new IC aluminum bottle
It's a nice looking package. Everything is local. The bottle Alcoa, the ink is
PPG, The coating on the label is Velspar and the contents are Iron City. All made in the Pittsburgh area. And a case is a little over $16 with tax which ain't bad, about two bucks more than the IC in regular cans.

It would seem to lose some of the advantage of keeping the beer cold longer, if you can't reseal it.

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 For a interactive map of Alcoa facilities in the Pittsburgh area go to http://www.alcoa.com/global/en/about...sp?lc=7&state= PA
